Why r u defending this man that could have killed a man cuz he didnt want to do the time for crimes he committed. The guy that killed all those innocent people in Conneticut probably needf help, but it dont make the crime any less than what it is. had this man been black, he yal would have already had him tried and convicted. he made a choice. Deal with it.

CONCERNING:
” He is a good man who did bad things and made bad choices”

So you disagree with the thought that you are what you do and you do what you are?

David for good people doing good things

Yes Yancey was so wrong and has been for a long time. He loved his kids and if he was such a deadbeat dad why was Trent allowed to spend the weekends with his dad? Yes, Yancey did a lot wrong but he also did have a lot of good in him. Children loved him and he loved them in return. He would give anyone his last dollar. He is a good man who did bad things and made bad choices. No he did not expect the officer to jump in a moving vehicle and he was stupid to do that. I know he was a respected officer but he did something stupid as well. Another case of a good man doing something stupid. Yancey needs to serve his time but he needs support not criticism. For all you Christians out there pray for Yancey don’t condem him give him time but also give him drug and alcohol help.

Thank you Officer Brown for holding back what you could have done to Mr. Thompson. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
For everyone else…friends, relatives, customers or haters of Mr. Thompson, I hope before you defend or accuse him you get the facts straight before posting. Look up his criminal background on Escambia, Santa Rosa and Baldwin county clerk of court first. At least know whom your defending or accussing. All my “opinions” are after looking at his background is he CLEARLY has no respect for the law “not just bad luck”. I do not know how long he hasn’t paid child support so I will not call him a dead beat “yet”. He seems to have a good heart “per some of you”. Teachers and friends have been giving “positive” advise to his son Trent but he doesn’t want to hear it. Trent loves his dad but has a probation officer of his own. I hope he turns his life around before its too late but he has to want to not because we told him too. Not judging no one is perfect. Just hoping something positive can happen for Trent.

Yancy put a well in our yard. He was honest and fair and a hard worker. He made bad choices that he is going to have to live with and pay the consequences. As for trent, leave him alone, this is devastating for him. He will deal with it in his own time. I do hope he finishes school. Almost finished! I am rooting for you Trent. This would make your dad proud.

I’ve never seen so many people defend what seems to be a hardened criminal. He should be thanking the good Lord above that he didn’t get shot.

Thanks Deputy Brown and the rest of the Sheriff’s Dept for the job you do.

Prayers for Officer Rudy also.
He could of just as well shot and killed Yancey as he did get run over. I hope this fine Officer recovers and continues to do a great job serving escambia county!

Yancey would show up at 2 in the morning if the well went dry, he would fix it or drill another one if that’s what it took. As the people have said, he had a heart of gold and would help anyone, anyway he knew how.
Alcohol, and pills were the Monkey on his back he could never shake. Folks that know him. know what I am talking about. He is a genuine, give the shirt off his back kind of Guy, but that does not make him above the law.

He screwed up and will have to reap what he sowed.

I hope he lives long enough to get out of jail alive, and hope all the demons are gone if he does.

I usually don’t support an Outlaw, but every time I saw the Man, he had a smile on his face, was covered in drillers mud, and asked if I needed anything.

Hope the good Lord will see him through the hard times…
