McDavid Man Charged With Attacking His Mother
December 3, 2013
A McDavid man is facing several felony charges after allegedly threatening to kill his mother over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Haden Brock Howard, 19, was booked into the Escambia County Jail on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, felony battery by strangulation, aggravated battery using a deadly weapon and battery. He was released from the Escambia County Jail Sunday afternoon on a $3,500 bond.
The 42-year old victim told deputies that Howard, her son, had taken her vehicle without permission. She was able to locate it alongside Highway 97. As she was driving home, the victim said Howard suddenly sat up from the backseat, became enraged and put a knife against her right temple and was saying he was going to kill her, according to an arrest report.
The victim pulled off the road in the 7200 block of Highway 97 in Walnut Hill. She told deputies that Howard dropped the knife, then attempted to strangle her before grabbing some sort of handsaw. She escaped the car, with Howard attempting to run over her, an arrest report states, before crashing through a fence and speeding off on Highway 97.
Deputies made contact with Howard by phone and he said he had no idea what was going on and that he had not seen his mother in two or three days. Deputies convinced Howard to exit his grandparents’ home on Green Village Road, at which time he was taken into custody. He continued to insist that he had not had any contact with his mother.
The victim’s car was located in the grandparents’ backyard, with what appeared to be a bloody fixed blade knife inside, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report.

I really have a problem with the judge setting such a low bond when the charges are not petty. He did this to his mother; i can just imagine what he would try to do to a stranger. I hope mom don’t drop the charges and he get away with it.
just look at the story of the last time he was on northescambia.com. All I can say is ” OMG “. 3 months, you can tell he is having major problems.
Bond can not be excessive, it has to be sufficient to assure he shows up for trial and can not be granted if he is considered a danger to others or is unlikely to show up for trial.
After all, he may not have done it. It could be an improbable frame-up.
That’s why they pay the judges the big bucks.
David for perfect justice
REALLY……I totally dont understand our judicial system. i have seen a bunch of folks with non-violent offenses get way much more to be bonded out…Wake up Escambia County……talking about keeping people safe, wow…Ok….I bet his mother is thinking the same thing, Praying for her safety. He had to be geeking on something.
As a parent I know all to well that out of love we defend make excuses and etc. For love is blinding and honestly we want to believe in them we want to see the best for themBut they are not monsters that we created they were babies that we gave birth to and somewhere along the way they made bad choices this youngman is old enough to take responsibility for his actions and don’t forget this boy has a father we can sit here and blame parents for wanting to believe in the kid or for being in denial to each their own I am sorry for your pain rebel just pray he will get help and turn his life around its not to late for him. The hardest thing as a parent is when to realize enough is enough always love them and be there for them and pray everyday and one would think someone would have to be on drugs to act this way so he needs help
‘Innocent until proven guilty” is what his mother wrote in a post on September 3, when he was arrested for B&E. Wonder what she is saying now?
I see it daily “it is not my child’s fault” “My child is not guilty” “My child would never lie to me or do that” Wake up. You create these monsters by defending them all their lives no matter what, you continue to lie for them.
I am living proof, I have a brother who will steal, cheat, lie, druggie, but I refuse to lie or defend him. Yes I love him but I WILL NOT defend him. I hope this will wake up some parents that want to be their friend and not their parents!!
We’ll his mugshot has been updated since his last arrest a couple months ago.

The dude needs help.
Sad.
It sounds as if he was high on something; doesn’t say much for him after learning he was ready to take his mother’s life! My sympathies to her and the rest of the family.
I guess innocent until proven guilty..?
Seriously….$3500 bond??? What the hell is wrong with these judges?
Sounds a whole lot like a drug induced rage. How could he do that to the person who has taken care of him his entire life?
Looks like counseling and parents classes are long over due here and lessons need to be learned.
real big man to attack your mom….or any OTHER woman for that matter. Hope he enjoys his stay at the big house. He’ll be crying for mommy soon enough. Even criminals dislike somebody like that!
If he’ll do that to his mother, he’ll do it to anyone else…. Lock him up!!!!
Bail was set at 3,500, why did he even get bail??? He threaten someone’s life with a deadly weapon
I am so mad about this…for him to get out and do it again? i would love for someone do the same to him…
