Man Accused Of Dumbbell Attack Pleads Not Guilty
July 7, 2011
A Century man accused of beating a man with a dumbbell weight in the parking lot of a local convenience store has entered a plea of not guilty.
Sammy Maurice Myles, 25, of old Flomaton Road, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after the incident May 30 at the Century Kwick stop at 8130 North Century Boulevard. Myles is due to appear in court again in September; he remains free from jail on a $2,500 bond.
The victim’s wife told Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies that the couple was in their car outside the store when the three men approached them. One allegedly hit her twice in the head, breaking her glasses. Myles allegedly began to beat the husband in the head with the dumbbell weight. The husband claimed that he began to fight back in self defense, at which time the other two men began to hit him.
Both victims were transported to a local hospital by ambulance for treatment of their injuries.
Myles, when questioned later by deputies at the Century Sheriff’s Office precinct, was observed to have a swollen eye and busted lip. He told deputies the husband and wife had jumped him earlier in the evening on Pond Street in Century. He said he had gone to the convenience store to get ice for his eye, at which time the husband and wife jumped him.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report does not specify how many pounds the dumbbell weight was.
