Dispute Over $10 And Food Stamps Leads To Battery Of Elderly Woman
July 11, 2012
A Molino man is jailed, charged with the battery of an elderly woman over $10 and a food stamp card.
Alvin Richard Wallace, 47, was charged with one count of felony battery on a person 65 years or older and booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $1,000.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported armed disturbance in Molino where the victim, a female in her 70’s, told deputies that she wanted Wallace to pay the $10 he owed her before she gave him his food stamp card. She said Wallace became angry and came at her in an aggressive manner. The elderly woman said she grabbed a knife to defend herself.
He left the residence after claiming the woman cut him with the knife, but deputies found no injuries on his person, according to arrest report.
The victim reported that Wallace returned to the residence, spit at her and grabbed her hand with the knife. The elderly woman, according to the Sheriff’s Office report, then grabbed a beer bottle and hit Wallace in the head three times to defend herself.
Wallace first refused medical treatment but was later evaluated. The elderly woman was not injured.

REGARDING:
“Do you think i enjoy recieving them id much rather have enough income that i wouldnt qualify.”
Yes, I think you enjoy receiving them more than you would doing without for the lack of them.
David for appreciation
Its just wrong to judge people that are getting food stamps. Do you think i enjoy recieving them id much rather have enough income that i wouldnt qualify. To be able to know i could’ve walk in a grocery store and have enough cash to pay with so people like you wouldnt stare and judge me. I work and get by the best i can and do what i have to do to feed my kids. I pray for all of us we are living in hard times that will probably only get worse.
This dude is alot more able to work than I am, & he’s gettin food stamps???? Both abusing the elderly & abusing the system makes me wanna puke!!!! Shame on you Alvin, shame on you!!!!
@ waiting– hang in there. I do not know you, but you sound as if you are trying to do what’s right. So many people who get on line and try to come down on the good people who have hit a rough spot and are trying to make it. They forget they can be two pay checks away from needing help. When we have kids having to live in a car with the rest of their family and go to bed hungry it brings to mind the book and movie—The Grapes Of Wrath. Everyone who receives support is not a bum and free loader. I have a neighbor who was laid off after nine years and has been trying to find a job—with no luck. It’s hard to get a job at 50 plus. At least during the school year the children can receive breakfast and lunch—what happens during holiday breaks and summer?
whose card was this? From what I can read, it was his; held hostage by a hostile woman. Granted, we ought to pay our debts, but that card was HIS. Rather than beating her, he should have turned her over to the law for theft of benefits.
It’s a terrible thing to abuse someone of any age for whatever reason and although the culprit in this case maybe a deadbeat,not all people on foodstamps are. I work very hard to survive and take care of my family,i dont drink,smoke or hangout.If it were not for food stamps i couldnt feed my children. I have worked since i was 16,now 44,i pay taxes and follow the laws of the land…not everyone recieving government assistance are loking for handouts.
Am I confused is this bartering money for food stamps.
Glad she had the beer bottle to defend herself.
I’m stocking up…just in case I have to defend myself against 6 attackers at once.
It’s good to here the elderly lady was not hurt. If this guys correct age is listed in the article, then 47 must be the new 67.
Just goes to show how far folks will go to get that Food Stamp Card so they don’t have to actually WORK!!
another fine example of you just cant fix stupid!!!
Go Granny!
Regardless of what took place hurting older people is not right. I’m glad the older woman is OK.
You can’t make this stuff up……
