Two Century Residents Jailed On Drug Charges After Atmore Shoplifting Report

July 30, 2022

A shoplifting call at the Atmore Walmart ended with a man and woman from Century facing drug charges.

The Atmore Police Department responded to a report of two women shoplifting at the store. As officers were enroute, they learned the women ran to a vehicle at a nearby pizza restaurant, jumped into a blue vehicle with a Florida tag that fled southbound on North Main Street.

Walmart loss prevention advised Atmore Police that one of the women was 38-year old Shana Oneida Killam of Century who they had been previously trespass warned from the store after a prior theft.

A few minutes later, officers spotted the vehicle at the Diamond Station of Highway 31 and noticed a female slumped over in the back seat in an apparent attempt to hide from officers.

After receiving consent to search the vehicle, officers reported finding a syringe containing methamphetamine, several clear plastic bags of methamphetamine, several Suboxone pills, a small amount of marijuana and a glass pipe with residue.

Killam was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Haden Brock Howard, 27, was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana second degree and possession of drug paraphernalia. Both remained in the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center without bond.

A third person, a 37-year old woman from Flomaton, was issued a trespass warning to stay away from the Walmart. She was not charged.

    @Milino Miss…I know you are not trying to talk down on Century when there’s at least two Molino residents on North Escambia per day, not per week, committing crimes. Clean up your own town before you try to talk about someone else’s.

    I agree with JTV. Problem is if they arrested all the dopers and thieves in century, there would not be a town. It is bad in this town.

    @area resident
    I agree with you, but it’s not just Century, it’s everywhere. This is for news in North ESCAMBIA, not enough room for the whole county. And talk about what’s happened to our Country! It’s saddens me!

    Notice the top two stories this morning. I went back to yesterday’s article on taxes and did not see the “free” meals option. I wanted to see if it included Century.

    What is the matter with Century? Does anyone up there actually work? No wonder they are having financial issues. Just lay around in squaller and in a stupor all day and steal from those who have worked all their lives to provide food and shelter for their own families. Someone in Century needs to clean that place up and it starts at the top.
