Escambia Man Gets 15 Years For Battery

April 12, 2012

An Escambia County man was sentenced to prison Tuesday in a 2010 aggravated battery case.

Terrence Scott was sentenced by Circuit Judge Scott Duncan to 15 years is state prison for his role in an aggravated battery with a firearm. Scott was also sentenced after a plea to charges of fleeing to elude law enforcement and battery on a law enforcement officer.

On August 4, 2010, Michael Campbell was riding his bike down Market Street just north of Fairfield Drive when a car driven by defendant turned onto Market Street and tried to run Campbell off the road, according to State Attorney Bill Eddins.

The passenger of Terrence Scott’s car then exited the vehicle, demanded money from Campbell, and then shot Campbell in the back after discovering he had no money. The passenger then jumped back into the car and Scott sped off.

Approximately 45 minutes later Escambia County Sheriff’s Deputies located Scott’s vehicle and began a pursuit. Scott led deputies on a car chase that culminated with Scott crashing into a gas main in a Mayfair neighborhood, causing an evacuation. Scott was apprehended after a brief foot chase whereas the passenger was able to escape.

Scott is already serving a 20 year state prison sentence for the July 24, 2010, armed robbery of a cab driver and a 10 year federal sentence for an August 2, 2010 carjacking.

All sentences, both state and federal, are being served consecutively.

    REGARDING:
    “All sentences, both state and federal, are being served consecutively.”

    Consecutively, that means one doesn’t start until the first is finished. Therefore 20 +10 + 15 = 45 years

    It’s a shame for a man to waste the life he’s given acting like a fool. It’s good he won’t be hurting others any time soon.

    David regretting foolish choices
    and celebrating good judges
