Escambia Man Sentenced On Child Abuse Charges
November 15, 2013
An Escambia County man was convicted of child abuse without great bodily harm Thursday. Circuit Judge Linda Nobles sentenced David Best to 18 months in state prison followed by 24 months probation.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred on February 26, 2013, in Best’s front yard. The defendant told the victim he was going to put his cigarette out in her face and did so by flicking it from a few feet away. The cigarette hit the victim in her right eye.
Their were two witnesses that heard and saw the incident. The victim suffered a burn to her right eye. The case was investigated by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
