Cantonment Man Gets 20 Years For Violent Attack On Woman

March 27, 2014

A Cantonment man has been sentenced to 20 years in state prison and a prison releasee reoffender.

On February 5, 51-year old Robert Dale Hutslar pled no contest to two counts of aggravated battery with great bodily harm or with a deadly weapon, possession of  a firearm by a convicted felon, aggravated assault by threat with a firearm, false  imprisonment and petit theft.

While at the victim’s apartment on August 8, 2013, Hutslar struck her in the head with a bottle and stole her wallet and food stamp card. Hutslar then strangled her with an extension cord and tied her hands with a telephone cord. Later he retrieved the victim’s firearm from the closet and threatened to kill her.  The victim was able to break free from Hutslar and dial 911 before he took the phone  and fled.

Hutslar was arrested later that day by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office as he was  walking down the road.

The sentenced was handed down by Circuit Judge Gary Bergosh.

    Once again our court system has failed. Bet he will get out in less than 10.

    How does someone get ONLY 20 years for trying to KILL someone? So if you don’t succeed in strangling someone to death you get off with less time? There are people in for longer stretches for far less than this.

    ALL attempted murders should be LIFE. PERIOD. A person that will try to kill will repeat the act the next time they get angery enough. It’s just a mater of time. We can only hope they are just as incompetent the next time.
