Escambia Man Gets Life For Burlgary, Battery, Child Abuse

May 28, 2014

An Escambia County man was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday.

Jesse Akeem Johnson was convicted of burglary of a dwelling with battery, child abuse, battery and petit theft by an Escambia County jury.

On November 19, 2012, the Johnson broke into the victim’s home by shattering the front window. Johnson immediately began punching and kicking the victim. The victim broke loose at one point and ran into the bedroom where her five children had been watching a movie at the time the defendant shattered the window. The victim attempted to barricade herself and her children inside that room but the defendant forced his way through the door and continued to beat the victim in front of her children. When the oldest child attempted to pull the him off  of the victim, Johnson grabbed the child by the hair and shoved the child into a wall.

At that time, the victim helped her younger child out of the window in order to run next door to seek help. Johnson spotted the child outside and followed the child to the neighbors. Once at the neighbor’s residence, Johnson punched the neighbor several times until he fell to the ground, and  then fled the scene.
