A woman is recovering after being stabbed by her boyfriend Thursday morning in Cantonment.

Escambia County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Andrew Hobbs said a woman’s boyfriend took her car and then returned to her home on Jonah Avenue. As deputies were responding to her call about a disturbance about 9:30, they pulled up to hear the woman screaming that she was being stabbed.

Deputies made entry into the home and took 28-year old Anthony Vincent McCormick of Cantonment  into custody. He is s being held without bond in the Escambia County Jail on a felony charge of aggravated battery using a deadly weapon.

Hobbs said the victim suffered multiple cuts from a knife, which was recovered at the scene. She was transported by ambulance to an area hospital with injuries that were no considered to be life threatening.

    REGARDING:
    “If You Can’t Say Anything Nice Don’t Say ANYTHING!!!”

    Just picture it. A woman is being murdered, the house full of children is burning down. You can’t think of anything nice to say about the situation, so you remain silent.

    David for speaking up

    @ Mary. You may know him, but he sure is building a strong case for the S.A. to get him some real hard time. He may have troubles– but we all do. I know I have had problems over the years but never felt it was right to use a knife on a girl friend or anyone.

    It’s not just your upbringing that makes you who you are. You are responsible for your own actions no matter the circumstance. These are very simple rules that I learned growing up that have helped keep me out of trouble numerous times.

    Say Please & Thank You
    Keep Your Hands To Yourself
    If You Can’t Say Anything Nice Don’t Say ANYTHING!!!
    If It Feels Wrong, It Probably Is, LEAVE
    Take A Deep Breath & Count To 10…it works!

    I don’t know these folks but I hope that they both get the help they need.

    @Mary Brake

    He is not mean, hateful, hard hearted!!!!! So stabbing people doesn’t fit into that category.I say it does, will pray for the individual that he can get his life straightened out.

    At Mary Brake, I’ve known someone that went to prison that was pushed to his breaking point to do the things he did but was an awesome persom. Florida system doesn’t care what the reasoning is. In their eyes do the crime do the time.

    Its easy to make assumptions about these people and this case when you dont personally know those involved. But I do know Anthony. Very well. He is not a monster. He is not mean, hateful, hard hearted…. In fact he is a soft spoken, loving, compassionate kid (to ME he’s a “kid”) and Im sure, not that it makes it any better or any less wrong, that his intentions were not to kill her or even severly hurt her. I think he had been put thru the wringer and just “snapped”. As someone else previously commented Anthony had a good upbringing and is loved by many many people I just dont think he always feels or realizes that. There is no doubt or denying he is “troubled” but knowing him as I do I can tell you he has his own personal reasons for being/feeling that way. Please dont judge him as a monster. We all have our own demons and struggles in life. Instead PRAY for him! Pray that he can conquer those demons and that he learns to feel “loved” and “worthy” Prayer is what he needs. Not prison.
