Cantonment Man Charged With Stealing Metal From Church During Service Hours
April 26, 2024
A Cantonment man was charged with a felony after allegedly stealing metal from a church during church service hours.
Gerard Dominic Patti, 46, was charged with grand theft. He was later released from the Escambia County Jail on a $3,500 bond.
Patti stole metal gutters left over following a remodel from outside the back of the Apostolic Global Church at 4317 North Palafox Street, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. According to an arrest report, Patti and his blue Ford F150 were captured on surveillance video. Deputies believe the metal was later sold for scrap.

I agree with Thomas G…Gerard has a deeper issue that he needs to deal with here. I pray he gets the help he needs and sticks to it. According to another on here “the police” are attempting to railroad and slander him”…I reckon that wasn’t him or his truck in that video?????
Being an enabler is not being a friend. Sure, I volunteered for all types of things community related and even had those who ONLY spoke of my many good attributes but they were just covering up the mess I was making and not helping get me to realize I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS! I pray he gets the help he needs…
Sorry Samatha but your wrong. This has nothing to do with slander and the fact that the Patti family and their contributions to the community also bear no fact here, it is actually you attempting to get a “fee pass” for your meth-head friend. Gerard needs help for his addiction, not your febble attempt to spin the story.
The Patti family is a well known staple of the community in Pensacola who demonstrate what kindness, integrity, honor, and giving back to others is essential to the place that we ALL call home. Gerard Patti is no different. His love of God, the time he volunteers to people in need, his acts of kindness speak for themselves. A veteran of the US Navy, a Deepwater Horizon clean up worker, as well as a resident and neighbor who is always willing to help another in need. The ESCO should be ashamed, the police report is full of inconsistencies, and this is truly an attempt to railroad and slander. I hope this story is continued to be followed all the way thru the judicial process and notes when justice is served and the case is dismissed. It is disgusting the lack of support from not only his ‘friends’, but the community as a whole.
It’s a shame that some people will never be afforded even half of the number of blown opportunities as some privileged folks… But oddly enough I am suddenly in the mood for some good ole locally harvested seafood…
I GUEST HE FORGOT TO READ THE 8 COMMANDMENTS (THOU SHALT NOT STEAL) NOT FROM GOD S HOUSE ANYWAYS
Trash can’t be anything other than trash. Take his truck and put him away for a few years.
You should always check with GOD or his Overseer first before you do anything to God House. The Pastor is the owner down here.
