Cantonment Man Charged With Stealing And Selling Metal Roofing
August 30, 2023
A Cantonment man is accused of stealing metal roofing from a yard and selling it to a recycling company at a fraction of its value.
Joshua Lamar Barlow, 44, was charged with fraudulently verifying ownership to a secondhand dealer, dealing in stolen property and petit theft.
Barlow allegedly stole aluminum roofing that was piled in the victim’s yard. A neighbor watched the theft occur and positively identified Barlow from a lineup.
He then sold the metal to a recycler for $15.98, providing his identification and fingerprint, according to an arrest report.
The metal roofing was valued at $600.
Barlow was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $8,000, but he has an outstanding hold from Santa Rosa County, according to jail records.

The recycling companies have a hand in these crooked transactions. Pay the guy $15 for an item worth $600. Come on …. !!! Recycle the metal – my foot! They most likely have roofers lined up and sell it to them
Why not just get a job like the rest of us to make it in life ?. Stealing from another person is wrong and it’s also a sin . Go to work and earn your money son . I hope the other gentleman that left a comment finds his trailer. . Boy oh boy what’s this world coming too anymore
Can you believe if someone steals your stuff and sells it to a pawn shop, the pawn shop will make you pay to get it back? What a load of garbage. Places that buy stolen merchandise should be shut down permanently! We also need inter-state laws so Alabama can be held responsible too.
His arrest is a result of investigation of theft of my trailer. He was trying to sell it.
Looks like he has a long history of stealing. One day maybe the right person will be home with him trying to steal and won’t have to worry about him anymore.
Joshua, boy you done messed up….hard to understand that tight smile though.
Seems your lawyer would tell you to try and look remorseful or sad.
At least you do have a “Hold” on you so there’ll be 3-hot and a cot.
He put in 3 times the work to steal and sell the roofing than it would take to earn that much honestly.
Stop stealing what is not yours.
