U.S. Marshals Arrest Man After Drunken Family Brawl
January 9, 2008
The United States Marshals North Florida Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested Jimmy Cash of Flomaton, Alabama, at his home Monday in connection with an incident authorities say happened at a family Christmas party near Century.
Authorities say Cash became drunk at the family’s Christmas party back on December 23, and when family members asked him not to drive, he became violent. According to an Escambia County Florida Sheriff’s Department report, Cash then got into a fight with a family member and assaulted a second family member that tried to break up the fight.
The second victim was then allegedly strangled by Cash and the fight continued outside. After that Cash reportedly kicked in a back door of the home. Then he went to a car where the second victim’s six year-old daughter was inside and started punching and breaking the windshield, according to police reports. That victim once again tried to stop Cash, but Cash reportedly grabbed her by the throat and threw her to the ground.
Cash, 48, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Task Force and Flomaton Police Department at his home on the 700 Block of Upper Creek Road without incident about 2:30 Monday afternoon. He was transported to the Escambia County (Ala.) Jail, and is awaiting extradition back to Escambia County, Florida.
He will face a long list of charges in Escambia County, Florida. That list includes battery or domestic battery by strangulation, battery on a person 65 years or older and a felony charge of cruelty toward a child/abuse without great harm. He also faces two misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief with property damage.
