Bond Set For Molino Woman Accused Of Hitting Child, Husband

May 23, 2009

An Escambia County judge has set bond at $10,000 for a Molino woman accused of hitting her child in the head with a plate and slapping her husband.

Tina  Louise Ferrell, 46, was booked into the Escambia Jail Thursday night where she was charged with one count of aggravated child abuse and one count of aggravated battery in connection with an incident about 7 p.m. at a mobile home on Duxbury Avenue off Highway 29 in Molino.

Friday afternoon, she appeared on a video feed before  Circuit Court Judge Joyce Williams.  Williams set Ferrell’s bond at $10,000 total on the two counts. She was also ordered to submit to monitoring through the pre-trial release program, submit to random urine and breath testing and consume no alcohol or non prescription drugs.

As of early Saturday morning, Ferrell had not made bond and was still in the Escambia County Jail.

Ferrell was also ordered to have no contact with the children at the Duxbury Avenue address where the incident occurred. The court ordered a public defender appointed for Ferrell.

She will back in court in mid-June for an arraignment hearing.

Ferrell and her husband were asleep about 7 p.m. when her 10-year old child tried to wake her to get help with a one-year old child in the home, according to Sgt. Kevin Vickrey with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department. When Ferrell refused to help with the infant and went back to sleep, the 10-year old tried to wake her again with drops of water sprinkled in her face. That’s when Ferrell slapped her husband and threw a plate a him, Vickrey said. The plate missed the husband and struck a three-year old in the head.

The three-year old was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola with injuries that were not believed to be serious, according to deputies. The child is expected to make a full recovery. The 10 and one-year olds were not injured.

    In re: To PUZZELED………. you are wrong to comment and judge a persons appearance, or affliction. If you find that you need to comment, you need to comment on the story, not the appearance of the person.
