One Suspect Arrested, One Wanted Following Weekend Barrineau Park Burglary
December 14, 2021
An Alabama man was taken into custody following a burglary Saturday in Barrineau Park, and a second arrest is anticipated.
About 11:15 a.m. the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a burglary in progress report in the area of Highway 196 and Barrineau Park School Road.
Two suspects burglarized a shed and fled in a vehicle, according to the ECSO. The victims were able to provide a vehicle description, leading to the apprehension of 63-year old Jerome Virgil Conway of Elberta, Alabama, on Highway 97.
Conway was charged with felony unarmed burglary of an unoccupied structure and petit theft.
The second suspect fled on foot, leading to a manhunt in the area, but he was not located.
ECSO spokesperson Amber Southard said the second suspect has been identified, and a warrant will be issued for his arrest.

It is never smart to go into the rural Country neighborhoods and break into a persons home or vehicle. The question is not if they have a gun or dog, but what one will get you first and what one will finish you off!
This situation is where Neighborhood Watch, an extension of the Escambia County Sheriff Department, comes in handy…we were notified by a neighbor and inturned notified others to be on lookout for the escaped thief…with new neighbors moving in all the time,it is impossible to know everyone, so consider forming and/ or joining your local neighbor watch group
. Way too many outlaws in our county… folks need to keep cars locked , gates and barns locked, and always be aware of your surroundings , especially when going to the store , post office or any where else..
