Century Man Charged With Reported Bratt Home Invasion
February 14, 2025
An 18-year-old Century man has been charged with a reported home invasion last weekend in Bratt.
John Matthew Malachi Bolen, Jr., was charged with armed burglary, criminal mischief with property damage and using or displaying a firearm during commission of a felony, all felonies.
About 8 a.m. on Saturday, February 8, a resident of Morgan Road reported to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that his daughter’s boyfriend kicked the door in on his home and shot his car as he was leaving. Bolen also “based” in a bedroom door where his girlfriend was sleeping and took her phone, according to an arrest report.
A total of $1,750 in damage was reported — $500 to a carport door, $250 to a bedroom door and $1,000 to the vehicle. The phone was not located.
Bolen remained in the Escambia County Jail Friday morning with bond set at $40,000.

Wow! That’s the best bond I’ve seen set in quite some time.
Starting his life out on the wrong foot. A word of advice to all you young folks out there, especially you young “Bucks” looking for love. There is more than enough love to go around. That young lady, that just dumped you, ain’t the only or last one out there. God made plenty for us to choose from. Let that one go and move on.
I feel for all these young people that did not have guidance in their lives. I had a dad and a mom that taught me right from wrong.
Well I guess the wedding is off?
You’ll learn the hard way son, about your poor life decisions when you pick that certain house… if you decide to continue.
Young man, I don’t think your girlfriend’s dad will consent to giving you his daughter’s hand in marriage now.
Bratt isn’t the area to come test your illegal skills. We are all well equipped.
