A former Escambia County senior deputy has been arrested on an additional charge.

Mark Smith was arrested last month and charged with felony sexual assault and misdemeanor battery. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that an additional victim was identified, and Smith was arrested on an additional charge of battery.

Deputy Walter Michael Thomas, Jr., was also arrested  last month and charged with felony sexual assault.

Douglas Albert Manning, 47, and Leah Giannotti Manning, 40, (pictured left) were arrested and charged on outstanding warrants for sexual battery and child neglect.

The original case, investigators said, involved sexual offenses with subjects under the age of 18.

    Is this the deputy that made bail last month? If so does he now have an additional bond to pay?
