ECSO: Century Man Was Pushing Stolen Shotgun In Shopping Cart Along Road In Bratt

September 30, 2022

A Century man is facing charges after deputies spotted him pushing a shopping cart containing a shotgun along a rural roadway near Bratt.

Rudy Matthew Lamar Marquardt, 28, was pushing the shopping cart on C.W. Carraway off Highway 4, about 1.5 miles east of Northview High School.

A Winchester 12-gauge shotgun was in the shopping cart, according to an arrest report. Records indicated that it was stolen from Memphis, Tennessee.

After his arrest, deputies found two Alprazolam pills in Marquardt’s pants pocket along with a straw made from a writing pen, the report continues. In the shopping cart, they found “smoking apparatus” with marijuana residue.

Marquardt was taken to the ECSO precinct in Century where he started showing signs of a possible overdose and was transported to Jay Hospital, the report states.

Marquardt was arrested this week on outstanding warrants from the February 22 incident. He remained in the Escambia County Jail Friday morning without bond.

    Lee, you are correct: no amount of money can fix the mental health issue we have in this country. But the people can if they get tired and won’t take it anymore. Stop the influx of undocumented people and the drugs and crime they bring with them. Implement very strict punishment for drug dealers and users. . Follow through, including swift execution of death penalties.

    I am very surprised he didnt hear the deputies approaching…also with that telescoping neck he should have been able to see them coming from around the corner.

    The term “riding shotgun” comes to mind.

    “Loyalty above…” What? Honesty??? Seems a lot of that these days. I’m not sure how all the money in the world can even begin to fix the mental health issues in this country.

    Looks like he had a stolen tattoo gun at some point, as well.
