Molino Man Charged With Aggravated Battery Following Traffic Crash
July 21, 2015
A Molino man has been charged after an altercation that broke out following a traffic crash back in May.
Jonathan David Franklin, 22, was arrested this week on an outstanding warrant stemming from the May 24 accident at Cedartown Road and Highway 95A. He was charged with aggravated battery using a deadly weapon and booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $15,000.
Franklin allegedly left the scene of the traffic crash, stopping to pick up his bumper. The traffic crash victim gave chase on foot, with Franklin stopping and getting out of his vehicle, according to an arrest report. The victim said Franklin the attacked him, pulling his shirt over his face and hitting him repeatedly with a black object, later determined to be the black rubber handle of a large knife.

I’m mildly amused at the sheer number of readers (or at least the commenters) that do not have the slightest understanding of our criminal justice system.
That $15,000 bond sure Doesn’t send a message.. It should be at least ten times higher..
