Escambia Man Gets 30 Years For Killing Elderly Man

September 27, 2015

An Escambia Count man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the second degree murder of an elderly man.

Marcus Ferrell Toler, 37, pleaded guilty to beating 76-year-old Ben Stallworth to death in 2014.  He later attempted to change his guilty plea, but that motion was denied by a judge.

In March 2014, deputies responded to a disturbance in the 1700 block of West Lakeview Avenue where they found Stallworth was sitting on his couch with obvious injuries. He was transported to a local hospital by ambulance were he was pronounced deceased.

    How ironic that he will be an old man when he gets out of prison, if he gets out of prison.
