Century Man Held On Kidnapping, Child Abuse Charges
July 6, 2011
A Century man is behind bars facing felony kidnapping and child abuse charges. Bond for Devonick Dejon Thomas, age 20 of Freedom Road, is set at $125,000.
According to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, witnesses told deputies that Thomas forced the 17-year old female victim into his car and start slapping her and eventually drove away.
After being notified of the possible kidnapping, the Flomaton Police Department made contact with Thomas and the teen girl in Flomaton. According to the Florida arrest report, the girl told the Flomaton officer that she was okay, and the Flomaton Police office allowed the two to drive off together.
The victim was later located unharmed.

to wow thank u they need talk what they know
It amazes me sometime the things people try and defend. It is never right to hit your spouse or girlfriend!! Pretty simple I don’t care how well you might like someone or how long they been together it is still wrong. There is a reason there is a law about it. They should have put his sorry butt under the jail. Just sayiong there is a right and a wrong and he was wrong if he hit her.
Regarding UNKNOWN’S:
“THE QUESTION WAS … WHAT’S WITH THE KIDNAPPING??? NOT HOW IS THAT KIDNAPPING…
BEFORE YOU GO AND JUMP TO THE WRONG CONCLUSION DOUBLE CHECK WHAT IS BEING SAID…”
Sorry about confusing you. I wasn’t mis-answering what you asked, I was answering wow’s question included in “ALSO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INSEPERABLE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS, AT LEAST. SO, HOW IS THAT KIDNAPPING?????”
It was the response just before yours. I copied and pasted what was asked to avoid misinterpretation and confusion. Double checking would have caught that. WOW understood.
David for understanding

THANK YOU
Hello Wow. When a 20 year old adult man strikes and abducts a female juvenile, it is everybody’s business. I see you referencing these people as a couple, she is a minor, he is an adult. Mookie over to the Hollman unit, if he’s lucky.
To Fed up
Another outstanding job by the FPD!!! We need a new chief, officers, and dispatchers!!!
““““““““““““““““““““
Maybe a new Mayor as well, what do you sat to that?
regarding:
“MR. GREENE, I AM WELL EDUCATED, I DON’T NEED TO KNOW THE DEFINITION OF KIDNAPPING.- – - , SO WHY ARE YOU KNOCKING THE FPD?”
When did I get a third “E”?
I’m sure you are well educated because you said so; I was just answering your question as to how forcing someone to go across state lines against their will is defined as kidnapping.
I haven’t knocked anyone in the Flomaton Police Department or even said whether or not I believe the event happened as reported or whether or not men should beat up girls if they don’t do what they’re told.
If none of it happened, maybe law enforcement could look at the one who filed a false report, but you’d probably defend them too.
David for freedom, knowledge
AND WELL EDUCATED CAPS
MR. GREENE, I AM WELL EDUCATED, I DON’T NEED TO KNOW THE DEFINITION OF KIDNAPPING. I AM JUST SAYING, THIS IS A LITTLE REDICULOUS. MAYBE NOT TO SOMEONE THAT KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THIS COUPLE, BUT I KNOW THEM PERSONALLY, AND SHE WAS NOT KIDNAPPED!!!!!!!!
ALSO, WHY IS FLORIDA EVEN RUNNING BEHIND ALABAMA SECOND-GUESSING THEIR DECISIONS. THE GIRL SAID SHE WAS OKAY, SO WHY ARE YOU KNOCKING THE FPD?
Another outstanding job by the FPD!!! We need a new chief, officers, and dispatchers!!!
regarding:
“HOW IS THAT KIDNAPPING?????? ”
If you force someone to go where they aren’t willing to go, that is kidnapping–by definiton. It is a federal offense if state lines are crossed.
It’s never nice, regardless.
David answering simple question
free my uncle mookie!!!
SMH…..WHAT’S WITH THE KIDNAPPING??? IT’S APPARENT THAT SHE DIDN’T WANT TO BE WITH HIM.. WHO BLAMES HER?? THAT GOES TO SHOW ALOT OF WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT HIS MOTHER…. IF HE DOESN’T SHOW HIS MOM ANY RESPECT HE’S DEFINETLY NOT GOING TO SHOW A WOMAN HER’S…
KIDNAPPING???? REALLY???? IF ANY OF YOU KNOW THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS YOU WOULD ALSO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INSEPERABLE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS, AT LEAST. SO, HOW IS THAT KIDNAPPING?????? SHE WON’T EVEN ALLOW HIM TO GO ANYWHERE ALONE, SHE ALWAYS HAS TO BE WITH HIM WHEREVER HE GOES.
>>id like “courtesy” of being notified BY THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT that my minor daughter was subject to this “witnessed” assult and kidnapping BEFORE releasing them
It was not the Sheriff’s Office that let her go — it was the Flomaton Police Dept
seems to me, as a parent, id like “courtesy” of being notified BY THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT that my minor daughter was subject to this “witnessed” assult and kidnapping BEFORE releasing them to go on their merry way….geesh!
So he crossed a state line with his kidnap victim? Doesnt that mean he is no subject to federal law?
Takes a real MAN to slap a girl!!!
free mookie!!!
