Suspect Arrested In Connection With Shots Fired Incident Inside Century Convenience Store
December 11, 2021
A suspect has been arrested in connection with a shots fired incident a week ago inside a Century convenience store.
Aaron Lee Sutton, 32, was booked into the Escambia County Jail Friday night on charges of aggravated assault and improper exhibition of a firearm. He was jailed with bond set at $300,000.
An arrest warrant has also been issued for 16-year old Travis Lavar Scott, Jr. for possession of a firearm by a delinquent. It was not known Friday night if he had been arrested due to delays in accessing juvenile arrest records.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said Sutton and Scott became involved in a verbal altercation about 5:55 p.m. December 4 and both pulled firearms. Deputies said Scott fired his weapon inside the Century Kwik Stop on North Century Boulevard, just south of Whataburger.
There were other customers inside the store at the time of the incident, along with the store clerk. There were no injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (850) 436-9620 or the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 433-STOP.

To David Huie Green:
He is definitely out. Only spent one night in jail.
I know how bail works. I just think its ludicrous that the justice system keeps putting the public in danger by letting these criminals walk free.
REGARDING:
“And now he is out!!!! Why would they let a dangerous person back out on the streets.”
Maybe, but it doesn’t say so. The fact that bail was set at $300,000 doesn’t always mean bail has been paid. Generally it means put up $300,000 which you stand to lose if he doesn’t show up for court or pay out $30,000 which you will never see again regardless.
Cheaper to avoid such situations.
David for better deals
Regardless of previous altercation, dude has no right to pursue an individual with a gun. It’s obvious his life wasn’t threatened at the moment he came into the store. On top of that, old boy doesn’t even know how to properly hold a true pistol grip. Seriously needs some anger management help and proper firearm training. Better yet, he obviously doesn’t need to own a firearm if he’s NOT going to be responsible.
And now he is out!!!! Why would they let a dangerous person back out on the streets. I have lost all hope in the justice system.
I wonder if there is a camera outside that might of caught earlier interactions.
@Bewildered…Police have a total right to protect themselves and preserve their lives, but the problem is when they shoot unarmed individuals. Something about that just doesn’t seem right. I can imagine that it has to be a fearful thing knowing that you may get shot or injured when you are on duty, but I also feel that being a cop is not something the fearful should be doing. A scary person with a weapon is some one you don’t want to encounter. I support law enforcement 100 percent, but being a cop doesn’t necessarily make you a good person. You have bad cops just like you have bad citizens and all criminals should be held accountable. With that being said, I think the older guy in the situation at hand probably didn’t expect the juvenile to be armed and was very unpleasantly surprised. He will probably think twice before pulling a weapon on some one else. He could have been killed…the Heavens was with him!
Man. Century really sucks.
Century citizen obviously has the proverbial chip on his shoulder. But he inadvertently pointed out using “his things brain” that common sense dictates that anyone should be permitted to shoot if they perceive a lethal threat. Now if we only get society to agree that police should have the same right to preserve their lives….
I take big time affence to the state ment century citizens being century citizens don’t know where your from and don’t care compare century to places like cantonment or ensly where your probably from and tell me how that comes out
REGARDING:
“why don’t the county just set up a boxing ring for those who have anger issues – – – and charge people every Saturday night to see the fight . all the major boxers get paid so myself it really is a great idea. release some anger and get paid. think about it. ????”
I thought about it. The bigger, meaner, more skilled could then beat up the smaller, less warlike, less skilled. I fail to see fairness in the proposed system.
(Not saying that shooting folks is a good idea, just that letting the meaner beat up others ain’t either.)
David for keeping looking
REGARDING:
“Why Does a 16 year old have possession of a firearm?”
Same as older folks: in case he believes he needs to shoot somebody or something.
(Now, why he expects that is a separate question.)
David for wisdom
no matter how thin the pancake is there are two side of the story.
Sounds like the after effects of a drug deal.
@Century citizen it does matter he’s a juvenile with a firearm…and his previous track record last year where he was involved in another shooting…Laws are Laws he endangered the public as well as the other guy they both deserve the same amount of time based on Scott’s record he hasn’t learned he still is carrying around a firearm as a juvenile.. he wants to act like a man the courts should treat them both the same lock them up get the trash off the streets
Why Does a 16 year old have possession of a firearm?
I may be a old timer but back in our day many had guns hanging up in their truck back windows left behind then go hunting after school . as far as I’m concerned no one should carry a gun in public guns belong at home. however I do feel that schools business owners and law enforcement should be allowed to carry guns. why don’t the county just set up a boxing ring for those who have anger issues – - – and charge people every Saturday night to see the fight . all the major boxers get paid so myself it really is a great idea. release some anger and get paid. think about it. ????
There’s zero reason a 16 year old thug (yes that is what he is) should be walking around with a pistol unless they were looking for trouble and I don’t care who shot first, he found trouble. Both are horrible shots, both do not deserve guns and both should be locked away from society because I promise this isn’t the last we’ll hear of Travis Scott (see I say their name instead of white guy or black guy @century citizen), eventually someone will be dead because of him.
It’s just Century Citizens acting like Century Citizens.
Bewildered if you would use that things called a brain you would see that the white guy drew his weapon first and 16yrold fired in self defense no matter any previous charges. #2 Dutch if you would use you marble up top you would see tha clearly it was self defense whit guy drew firearm first.
1 down 1 to go……
If Travis Scott fired the weapon, why is he not being charged with firing a weapon instead of possession? Did I miss something?
Both of them need to be locked up for a long time.
There’s No excuse for gunplay in public.
Neither one of them should have been walking the streets to start with.
If the delinquent juvenile fired the gun, why is he only charged with possession? I don’t know anyone involved, sure hope no innocent person stops at a Century store and gets caught up in this insanity.
32 and 16 and there’s no difference in mentality. Morons.
