Bonfire Party Altercation Ends With Man Severely Burned
January 3, 2013
A Santa Rosa County man was charged after a New Year’s Eve bonfire party ended with an altercation and a severely burned victim.
Just after 2013 began, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 7000 block of Springhill Road where they determined 24-year old Devin Lee Bass had punched the victim, 26-year old Cody Healy, in the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. Healy fell into the bonfire, causing severe burns to his face, neck and chest. Deputies said Healy was in the fire for several seconds before bystanders pulled him out. Bass allegedly also punched another person in the face as they attempted to help Healy out of the fire.
The second victim lost two teeth and suffered a laceration to his face. Healey was transported to USA Medical Center Burn Unit in Mobile were he was listed in serious but stable condition.
Bass was charged with two counts of aggravated battery and resisting an officer. He was booked into the Santa Rosa County Jail with bond set at $6,000.

CODY WILL BE FOREVER MISSED.
LOVE YOU FOREVER CODY BABY.
MOMMY MISSES YOU.
Thank you to the people who wished me wel.
JUST THINKING:
“Bass allegedly also punched another person in the face as they attempted to help Healy out of the fire.”
Knocking him in the fire could be an accident. Attempting to make others leave him there sounds like attempted murder.
David meditating on appropriate charges
(although I am kin to many Bass)
Sucker punches two people, causing permenant bodily harm to both. He should have been charged with 2 counts of Felony Battery with $200,000 bond.
Happy New Year!!! Mr. Bass, the judge is waiting.
booze, fire, don’t mix someone is sure to fall into the fire, or be knocked into it by someone–hope the best for the burn victim,
Papst Blue Ribbon strikes again.
$6,000 bond?? That sure sends a message about being tough on violent crimes.. NOT!! Sucker punching someone into a fire and attacking a rescuer should carry a few more 0’s on the bond in my eyes.. This is what is wrong with our justice system??
