Man Accused Of Stabbing Pregnant Woman Indicted For Baby’s Death
September 23, 2010
The man accused of the stabbing death on a pregnant Cantonment woman is facing more charges.
Wednesday, an Escambia County Grand Jury indicted Phillip Arnold on another first degree murder charged for the death of the newborn. He was already facing one first degree murder charge for the death of Angela Castella Brown on July 5 in Cantonment.
Brown, who was six months pregnant, underwent an emergency C-section after she was stabbed. The newborn, named Angela Chambers, died just over seven hours after being delivered.
Arnold, 65, of 349 South Chipper Road, fatally stabbed Brown in the chest, according to the State Attorney’s Office.
Arnold and Brown were neighbors, and that was their only known connection, according to Sgt. Ted Roy, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies were dispatched to the stabbing at a mobile home at 349 South Chipper Road about 8:35 p.m only July 5. When they arrived, witnesses told deputies that Arnold fled into a nearby wooded area. As deputies were arriving in the area, EMS personnel advised they had seen a black male running down the railroad tracks on South Chipper Road.
Witnesses at the scene reported observing a black male known to them as Arnold running from the scene moments before they discovered the victim, according to the Sheriff’s Office. K-9 officers attempting to track Arnold discovered a knife that was believed to be the murder weapon. As deputies were surrounding the area to search for Arnold, he called sheriff’s dispatchers about 9:10 p.m. Arnold said he was at a home at 2473 Stacey Road and that he wanted to turn himself in. He was taken into custody without incident.
Brown was the mother of seven other children.
