Man Gets 15 Years For Tree Branch Beating

July 7, 2016

A Milton man has been sentenced to prison for beating another man with a tree branch in Escambia County.

Circuit Judge Jennie Kinsey sentenced Terrance Leroy McCrea to 15 years after a jury convicted him of aggravate battery with a deadly weapon.

On May 5, 2015, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Circle K on Pace Boulevard where they found a man on the ground covered in blood. McCrea was located at the scene with a four-foot tree branch and made incriminating statements to deputies.

Deputies spoke with a witness who observed McCrea attack the victim without provocation and strike him numerous times with the branch. EMS responded and transported the victim to the hospital where he remained for a week before being released.

    It must have been a palm branch. Well it’s a re-leaf to get him off the streets then. I guess he will be a pretty poplar guy in prison.

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say this probably wasn’t his first offense
