Molino Man Charged With Flomaton Christmas Day Burglary
January 6, 2022
A Molino man suspected of a Christmas Day burglary in Flomaton has been arrested in Alabama.
Richard Allen Newcomer, 39, was charged with third degree burglary by the Flomaton Police Department.
The suspect, identified by FPD as Newcomer, is seen in a surveillance video backing up a car to an open garage door, entering the structure and checking two large boxes, including a Vizio television box. Both boxes appear empty. The suspect then wanders around the mostly empty garage area.
Newcomer was booked into the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center in Brewton. According to jail records, he remained in jail Thursday without bond.

VIOLATION OF PROBATION AUTOMATICALLY GETS ZERO BOND…
That T.V. wasn’t worth stealing to begin with. Room mate had about four of that brand, and withing six months, they didn’t work anymore.
Am I the only one who noticed the little cat and all of those bowls that appear to be empty?? Is there a chance he had cat food and cat treats in the trunk of his little car for the cat (or cats) is the reason he’s there?? I guess not since surely the owner would know this! Right? Just curious because this little cat baby does not seem to mind at all that it has a little company AND I can guarantee you that new VIZIO is not a fit for the trunk of his car!
Empty garages have much better cameras than Convience Stores and Banks.
@Ol’ Skinny, he’s presently on supervised release from prison, thus no bond. He entered private property with the intent to steal. Not clear what he stole but he entered the structure after backing up his vehicle (trunk)to it. Can’t get more clear than that. He is a repeat offender. The latest offense was possession and I believe he’s on video in other areas/cases.
Time to start removing the hands of thieves!!! It really does work for deterring future thefts.
Cat– Security Gaurd of the Week!!
Alabama Code Title 13A. Criminal Code § 13A-7-7
(a) A person commits the crime of burglary in the third degree if any of the following occur:
(1) He or she knowingly enters or remains unlawfully in a dwelling with the intent to commit a crime therein;
(2) He or she knowingly enters or remains unlawfully in an occupied building with the intent to commit a crime therein; or
(3) He or she knowingly enters or remains unlawfully in an unoccupied building with the intent to commit a crime therein.
(b) Burglary in the third degree is a Class C felony.
Nothing has to be taken in order to commit burglary in Alabama. There are many possible reasons as to why he was given no bond that may or may not have to do with crime he was charged with (ie Violation of Probation, outstanding warrant)
@ Ol’ Skinny…I TOTALLY agree with you.
Interesting to see how they will make the Charge of burglary stick. Walks into an open garage but takes nothing – just wanders around. Could have been waiting to talk to the homeowner about something….
What did he steal
Dumb, da, dumb, dumb….cameras right over his head. Do something stupid…get caught. Good job LEO’S!
He looks like he will be more happy in prison.
Not the brightest bulb
Not sure I am following this story very well … guy goes to a private shop, walks around, looks at a few things and takes “nothing” …. and he is arrest without bond? North Escambia, are we missing the details? We’ve had a lot of recent stories on people having their bond set too low for slapping women, hurting children, dealing drugs … and this guy has no bond, and it’s not reported that he even took anything? Criminal mischief maybe, but no bond? Strange.
