Jay Tops Northview 28-20 In District Matchup (With Gallery)
October 11, 2025
The Jay Royals defeated the Northview Chiefs 28-20 Friday night, the first time the Royals have won in Bratt since the two teams began district play in 2009.
The Royals were on top for most of the night after an early first-quarter touchdown. Northview’s Tyson Phifer had the first TD for the Chiefs, but the extra point kick was no good. By halftime, the Royals were up 21-6.
After a scoreless third quarter, Chief Caleb Levins scored on a short 3-yard run with about eight minutes to go in the game. With a good two-point conversion from Nate Duffy, the Chiefs narrowed their deficit to 21-14. Levins then returned an interception 32 yards for another Chiefs touchdown, but the two-point attempt fell short.

New Details: Over $100,000 In Stolen Property Recovered In Cantonment Search Warrant
October 10, 2025
Over $100,000 in stolen property was recovered when the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at a Cantonment home on Wednesday, according to Sheriff Chip Simmons.
The recovered property includes motorcycles, lawn equipment and more.
Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies, including the SWAT team, executed a search warrant stemming from several incidents involving grand theft, burglaries, and dealing in stolen property, specifically three stolen motorcycles.
Colby Chase Myrick, 34,was charged with felony possession of a weapon or ammunition by a convicted felon, felony dealing in stolen property, and resisting an officer without violence. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond.
When deputies arrived to serve the search warrant, Myrick was observed immediately walking toward a storage shed in the backyard, where he was reportedly living alone. Despite receiving multiple verbal commands from the tactical unit to stop, the Myrick entered the shed and closed the door, according to an arrest report obtained by NorthEscambia.com.
Authorities reported that Colby Myrick then used a chain to secure the door from the inside, preventing entry. After several more commands to open the door were ignored, deputies forced entry. Due to continued non-compliance with orders to place his hands behind his back, a sergeant used force to effect the arrest.
Following the apprehension, a search of the shed revealed a Marlin .22LR rifle, along with 17 rounds of ammunition, located under the bed where Colby Myrick was sleeping. A criminal history check confirmed the suspect had previous felony convictions dating back to 2008, making the possession of the firearm illegal.
A 2005 Honda motorcycle, confirmed to have been stolen from a Santa Rosa County, was located in the backyard near the shed.
During a subsequent recorded interview, Colby Myrick told investigators that the motorcycle had been dropped off at the address by another individual. The arrest report also noted that a jail phone call dated September 18, 2025, recorded a conversation between Colby Myrick and his brother, Hunter Myrick, which is being reviewed as evidence. The specifics of that conversation were redacted from the arrest report.
Additional arrests may be forthcoming in the case.
Hunter Myrick was arrested late last month on charges including dealing in stolen property for trying to sell a stolen boat in a recorded jail phone call after being arrested on burglary and drug charges.
Three other people at the residence on Wednesday were arrested on unrelated outstanding warrants and booked into the Escambia County Jail:
- Tyrel James Disney, 41, felony possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, no bond
- Justin Michael Odom, 31, parole violation, no bond
- Shelby Danielle Totty, 30, felony dealing or trafficking in stolen property, $15,000 bond

Pepsi Truck Driver Cited For Running Red Light In West Nine Mile Road Crash

October 10, 2025
Eight people were involved in a two-vehicle crash Thursday afternoon in Byrneville. All escaped serious injury.
The crash involving two cars occurred around 3:35 p.m. at the intersection of West Highway 4 and Byrneville Road, about three miles west of Century.
One vehicle was driven by a woman in her 20s with two passengers — young children about 1 and 2 years old. The other vehicle was driven by a teen and occupied by four additional juveniles. The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating and has not released details on how the crash occurred.
Everyone involved was evaluated on scene by Escambia County EMS, and no one was transported to the hospital.
One vehicle came to rest in the ditch east of the intersection. The other came to rest just off the intersection. A detached wheel from the second vehicle collided with the control cabinet for the intersection’s traffic light, putting the signal out of service for over an hour.
The Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue also responded.
