Man Wanted For Kidnapping, Choking, Beating Pregnant Woman Arrested In Jay
March 27, 2010
A man accused of kidnapping, choking and beating a pregnant woman was arrested Thursday in Jay by U.S. Marshals and Santa Rosa County deputies.
Jonathan Lynn Simmons, 31, of Pace is charged with battery/strangulation, aggravated battery on a pregnant woman, kidnapping, fleeing with disregard of safety and resisting an officer without violence.
Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a Circle K in Milton after a store clerk reported seeing a woman in a truck with Simmons mouth the words “Help me, please”.
When officers arrived about 3:30 Wednesday morning, the bloodied woman ran into the store, and Simmons took off and led deputies on a high-speed chase. He ran from the truck and escaped in a Milton neighborhood.
The pregnant woman told deputies that Simmons attempted to drug her, and he threatened to kill her.
A tip led U.S. Marshals and deputies to Simmons at a home in Jay. He was arrested without incident.
Simmons is being held in the Santa Rosa County Jail without bond.

Aw ain’t that just sweet of him to put his son’s name on his neck.While on the other hand he’s abusing some helpless pregant woman.Please don’t tell me you are trying to make him out to be a good guy havin a bad day.I may not be able to pass judgement ,but he deserves to have his butt kicked for hittin a woman pregnant or not!!I’ve been in those shoes pregant and not and it ain’t a happy place to be.I know I didn’t deserve it and I’m sure she didn’t either. So I don’t see it as passing judgement when anyone can see wrong is just wrong!Those types get what they deserve sooner or later.So carry on tough guy !!You will soon see just how tough you are!!
that tattoo is his son’s name. what u r seein is “en”, last 2 letters of his name. passing judgment isn’t our job, but lot’s doin it.
oh yea, that tattoo is his son’s name. that is “en”, last 2 letters of his name. like i said need to know more be4 passing judgment.
Jay resident, that’s the only way they can feel good about themselves is to throw off on someone else. It’s not hard to find something wrong with the other communities, maybe we need to start a list? I don’t live in Jay but is a very nice place, just needs a resturant or two.
You know it is truly ashame that people keep throwing out all these so cute little remarks about Jay.Yes there has been some things happen in Jay that should not have ,but we are not the only place that bad things have happened or bad people have come from.There is crime every where.That is what’s truly sad.Most people in Jay are good hard working people and anyone I know wouldn’t let this trash do something like that and get away with it.It did say he was living in Pace that must be an awful place!! See what I mean.Don’t judge everyone by the actions of some idiot.I pray this woman and her child are ok .GOD was on her side and thankful someone was willing to help her!You are a wonderful person!God bless and hope your goodness can be learned by others!
Tattoo on the left side of the suspect’s neck: “FN.” Come-on Santa Rosa Sheriff – you must know something of this. And it’s your duty to inform the public of the significance of its symbolism
Thank the Lord she’s rescued from the scum bag. Hope those guys in jail give him what he deserves. Maybe cut off the parts he used to hurt her, He needs an eye lift and a nose job too! Our justice system wont do it. They’re not getting any better either, letting too many of em go free.
KDOG -
one man’s punk is another man’s evil…
lookit those eyes, I’m tellin’ ya’!
It’s fantastic the clerk was brave enough to help this woman as he could have looked the other way! He saved her life and is definately a hero.
He doesn’t look EVIL… He looks like the punk that he is! Hitting, choking, trying to drug a woman that is pregnant? Yeah, a real tough guy! Uh, when you get your double suite with bubba the child molester you go have some fun tough guy…
wow .. hittin a pregnant woman ?? really ? that’s just sad . he needs some serious help ..
that is one evil-looking dude-
lookit them eyes!
what’s the rest of the tattoo
on his neck read?
of interest, escambia court records reflect that he was already out on $1000 bond for an arrest made on 3/22/10 for a felony (repeatedly driving w/suspended license, i believe) …at that time, pace was listed as his city of address..hearing scheduled for april 6th- guess this is the least of his worries.
JAYMOM, THE ARTICLE MAY SAY HIS FROM PACE, BUT THAT MIGHT JUST BE WHERE HE CURRENTLY RESIDES. HE IS FROM JAY AND HE WENT TO JAY HIGH SCHOOL. JAY MAY NEED PUBLICITY BUT NOT LIKE THIS. JUST CHILL, BET YOU’LL HEAR SOMETHING ELSE COME UP IN JAY SOON.
I have always heard that a man that will hit a woman will not hit another man. They are the lowest form of a coward.
I hop he gets what he gets and the women NEVER see’s him agian and lives in peace with her babie
Probably originally from jay.
My prayers are with the woman and her baby. I hope they are both ok and I hope that this monster gets what he deserves.
JW, if you read the article you will see that he is NOT from Jay, he is from Pace. He was just found and arrested in Jay. SO, the hits do not just keep coming!!!
This is a shame that this man would do something like this to a pregnant woman, I do hope that she and the baby are ok… Thank goodness he is behind bars with no bond where he belongs!
Ladies please, be choosey about who you decide to breed with.
Shall we start a betting pool on what the tattoo says?
I’m going with either “DRUNKEN” or “CHICKEN”… haven’t decided yet….
Just when you thought the scum couldn’t get any scummier.
And the hits just keep on coming. The town of Jay is definitely in need of some good publicity.
