Wanted Suspect Captured In The Woods In Century
May 1, 2024
After a second day of searching, authorities have captured a wanted suspect that was hiding in the woods in Century.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said 41-year-old Christopher George Pace has outstanding felony warrants for arson, trespassing with property damage and resisting arrest without violence. Two additional counts of resisting were added.
He evaded capture Monday during a manhunt involving dozens of law enforcement officers, police K-9 units and a drone. He was also the focus of another manhunt on March 18.
The ECSO and K-9s from the Century Correctional Institution and Escambia County Road Prison captured Pace without incident Wednesday morning in a wooded area off Pleasant Hill Road.
Pate’s prior convictions in Escambia County include first degree petit theft, burglary, criminal mischief, possession of burglary tools, trespassing, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia.

You would think the fresh air would do him good.
Guess hunger got the best of him.
AWESOME JOB LEO’s !!!! At least y’all do your jobs!!
Now if the State will do theirs and convict him and put him away for a long time
Wonder if the charges are going to stick this time.
Last arson charge the State dropped charge ..imagine that
He just wanted to spend some time in the woods with Bigfoot.
His temporary freedom will get him more time in prison. Dumb criminal is dumb.
Good job!!! Police officers and the K-9’s. This is one of the reasons why I support the blues. Now keep him in jail for a long time.
