Escambia Man Sentenced To Prison For Hot Grease Attack

May 23, 2014

An Escambia County man has been sentenced to 20 years in state prison for attacking his roommate with hot grease.

David Lee Nickelson received the sentence from Circuit Judge Ross Goodman after being convicted by an Escambia County jury on charges of arson and aggravated battery with great bodily harm.

In September 2013, Nickelson became involved in an altercation with his roommate, Glenn Farmer. Farmer retreated  to a bedroom. Nickelson then lit his door on fire in attempt to get him out of the room. When that attempt failed, Nickelson kicked in the door and threw hot cooking grease on Farmer.

Farmer escaped out the bedroom window and was transported to West Florida Hospital with severe grease burns on his face, head, chest, back and arm.

    After he does his prison sentence he should be sentenced to chattahooche for the rest of his llife, he is obviously mentally disturbed and a danger to those around him.
