A Century, Fla. man was arrested Jan. 14 on assault and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle charges, according to the Atmore Police Department.

Public Information Officer Sgt. Darrell McMann said in a release that E’monee D. Long, 20, of Century, was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted assault I, two counts of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle and two counts of reckless endangerment.

McMann said the arrest stemmed after an APD officer recognized the vehicle Long had been using.

McMann said on Jan. 10, at approximately 8:30 p.m. and on Jan. 11 at approximately 11:30 a.m., APD officers responded to the area of Brooks Lane in reference to shots fire.

“In both incidents a vehicle chased the victim in a vehicle while shooting a weapon,” McMann said. “Investigators were able to identify the suspect as Emonee Demontae Long, 20, of Century.”

McMann said Long also has a rape II charge that stems from an incident in 2020.

“Long wasn’t arrested at the time of that incident due to his alleged involvement with a murder in Century in the same time period,” McMann said. “Investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Long in reference to that incident.”

Long was transported to the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton.
