ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Alabama - A murder suspect is still on the run, considered armed and dangerous. The Escambia County, Alabama Sheriff says they first started investigating Bruce Day back in 2001 for attempted murder. But, the sheriff says the victim in the case, Woodrow "Token" Allen mysteriously disappeared before trial. Day was convicted of a lesser charge and sentenced to one year in jail. Now, the sheriff says they have reason to believe Day murdered Allen, "if we're correct and he's already murdered one person for being willing to testify against him, what does he got to lose if he has to shoot someone else," said Escambia County Sheriff, Grover Smith. Day had been working in Pensacola. Federal and local authorities tried to pick him up on the murder charge Tuesday. But, they believe he was tipped off and made a run for it. A manhunt put a local college campus on lockdown for hours but Day got away. Authorities say if you see Day, do not approach him, instead call 911.

I also will say that when Allen went missing, the Sheriff’s office in Baldwin County assumed that Allen ran because he was up for sentencing on 25 Counts of Burglary/Thieving.

I would like to say that at the time the Allen boy went missing there were NO charges against Bruce Day for Attempted Murder. It doesn’t take but a check on public records to find that out. Allen went missing in 2001 and the charges against Bruce Day were made in 2002. There was not enough evidence produced by the Sheriff office to hold that charge. He was convicted of Reckless Endangerment. Allen could not have been a potential witness in that trial because he had already been missing. Please don’t report slanderous information. Grover Smith wasn’t Sheriff at the time either, Tim Hawsey was. If you check, you will find out that no charges at the time of Allen’s disappearance were pending on Bruce Day. Check public records.
