Cantonment Man Fled Home Burglary With Stolen Microwave On His Bicycle, ECSO Says
September 29, 2022
A Cantonment man stole a microwave during a home burglary and then fled with the microwave on the handlebars of his bicycle, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
A resident of Robinson Street told deputies that she just purchased two new Mainstays microwaves for $49 each. One was still in her vehicle and the other was placed inside her residence, which was being remodeled. As she turned Booker Street, she saw 55-year old Joe Herbert Knight, Jr., riding a black bicycle with a brand new, still in the box, Mainstays microwave on the handlebars, according to an arrest report. He denied stealing the microwave but returned it.
Knight and the victim are close relatives, and she told deputies that Knight had broken into her home about a week before, the report continues.
Deputies noted damage to an outside door and frame consistent with the door being pried open
Knight was charged with second degree felony burglary, larceny and criminal mischief with property damage. He remained in the Escambia County Jail without bond early Thursday morning.

A freaking microwave? That’s what he chose to steal? Way to be inconspicuous!
@Susie That was a genius play on words!
@Jimmy Probably true! I love how he denied taking it but then gave it back.
I needed a laugh today and y’all supplied it. Thanks!
With minimum wage at $15 an hour in 3 or 4 hours, (of work), he could of made enough for his own microwave and some hotdogs too.
I’ve heard of food trucks, but a food bike…? Hahaha
@Citizen It was meant as a play on words (peddling as in bicycle). The World is going to hell but without the nice handbasket. God is certainly watching.
Apparently this is the story with the witty comment section.
Thanks Susie, Wayne, Jimmy for the laughs.
@ Susie, I’m not sure but isn’t that what larceny means? Not bein a smartbutt or anything, I’m seriously asking. Should’ve kept one so he could heat up some food with it instead of trying to sell it for a quick dollar smh. The world we live is goin to hell in a handbasket
Could’ve gotten him for dealing in stolen property too. He was peddling.
Hot food on a bike….might need to be on Shark Tank
The suspect was amazed the officer didnt make him return the stolen bicycle.
