Century Man Accused Of Stealing Utility Trailer; Later Robbing, Hitting A Witness With A Bat

August 14, 2023

A Century man is accused of stealing a utility trailer before later robbing and hitting a witness with a bat.

Julius Ray Harris, 59, was charged with robbery with a weapon,  grand theft, petit theft and tampering in a third degree felony proceeding.

Harris and another suspect allegedly stole a 7×24 utility trailer from the 6900 block of Ashford Alley. Davis then allegedly sold the trailer to an individual with a concrete business for about $1,000.

A witness was later robbed and hit with a bat in Century by Harris, and Harris threatened him about testifying in the case, according to an arrest report.

Harris remained in the Escambia County Jail Monday morning with bond set at $65,000.

An Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report indicates an arrest warrant is active on a second suspect in the trailer theft, and a warrant is pending against a third suspect.

    I played. Ball with, well against him from the age 8 to 18, and he was one of the best, if not the best 3 sport athlete in the north Escambia area, and surrounding area.

    Pray he can turn it around.

    Don’t look like the Ray that I went to school with. I remember him always smiling. From one Blackcat to another. Straighten up man, it’s never too late. Put that smile back on your face that we all knew.
