Cantonment Man Charged In Home Invasion, Carjacking

A Cantonment man has been charged with a home invasion, robbery and carjacking.

Ramoe Tyvon Smith, 30, is charged with home invasion robbery, aggravated assault with a firearm, grand theft, aggravated battery using a deadly weapon and carjacking. He remained in the Escambia County Jail Saturday with bond set at $220,000.

According to an arrest report, Smith entered a mobile home on West Hannah Street, pointed a handgun at the resident and demanded his wallet. Smith and a female accomplice then allegedly took a 5-gallon bucket from inside the home that contained copper scraps before fleeing.

Within hours, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office investigators were able to determine that the copper was sold at a local recycling business by Smith and the female and warrants for their arrests were issued. The female has not yet been arrested.

In a previous incident, Smith is accused of carjacking a vehicle and beating the victim.
