Report Details How Deputies Captured Two After Century Burglary In Progress
July 31, 2023
A report details how two suspects were captured after deputies responded to a burglary in progress in Century early Sunday morning.
Jessie Clayton Bell, age 36 of Flomaton, and Robert Zachary Weaver, age 29 of Foley, were both booked into the Escambia County Jail on felony charges of burglary causing $1,000 or more of damage and criminal mischief. Initial bond was set at $52,500 each.
According to a report obtained Monday morning by NorthEscambia.com, a resident on Jefferson Avenue near Pond Street reported about 2:19 that his window had been busted and he believed someone tried to enter the home. He told dispatchers that a male and female were still in his yard, and advised later that a shirtless male ran east toward the old school known as the Century Business Center on Pond Street.
Deputies responded to the Century Business Center and detained Bell.
At the home, two windows were discovered broken from the outside, and bars of the window were broken and pushed inward. Deputies said there were multiple yard and power tools just inside one window.
Each window was valued at about $800.
The suspects’ 2004 Jeep was parked nearby, and a records check revealed it belonged to Weaver’s fiance. The keys were in Bell’s possession when he was detained.
Weaver was located by deputies and a K-9 in Ensley a short time later.
According to jail records, Bell has an outstanding warrant from Escambia County in Alabama, and Weaver was wanted in Baldwin County.

I hope these boys have a good hard think about life …try and break into my home in Flomaton and my dogs will make certain it’s the last thing you ever do ….there is absolutely no excuse for individuals like this ….to violate other peoples homes …..I absolutely dispise drug addicts to the core & if I was them I’d be very very cautious in regards to their criminal activity. There’s a number of us out there that won’t tolerate nonsense from criminals like this .
Kids, don’t do drugs. Drugs are bad. Mmkay
I agree with Miranda!! Zach was friends with my daughter when they were teenagers. I really liked him and could tell he had a big heart. I believe he comes from a good family. It’s very sad to see this and I’ll pray for these two young men and their families.

Imagine bring a grown man, then not only having the cops called on you but to then also have the victim describe you as “a female standing in the yard” bahahah. Lock the junkies up with the rest of em.
Miranda I completely agree with you.
Clay I love you & I won’t stop praying for you.
looks like our local law is doing a good job. that or there are just more dope head criminals.
“Just me” is a bad dude. He’s going to deal justice.
It is so sad to see what addiction can do to people! Clay was such a fun, loving, sweet kid! I pray that he finds the help he needs to finally break out of this awful addiction he has! And for the one’s making fun and laughing about this and that, I will be the first to say he needs to be punished for this! But if you have NEVER had a family member or someone you love be addicted to something you have been blessed because it is so heart breaking watching your love one become someone you don’t know.
Should’ve came a few blocks down, you wouldn’t have to worry about jail then.
Those two look like they will be right at home at Century CI. Just curious, What were they breaking into?
Cellmates for life. LOL
