Cantonment Man Charged With Attack On Man, His Kids

November 26, 2017

A Cantonment man was jailed on three felony counts of aggravated assault, three weapon offense charges, one count of battery and damage property.

According to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, the victim left his two girls, ages 6 and 10, for a couple of hours at a friend’s house on Ellington Street. When he returned to pickup the children, 42-year old Herbert Williams, the woman’s ex-boyfriend,  attacked him, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report.

Williams allegedly punched him in the face and body. When the victim fought back, Williams left and returned with a machete.

Witnesses say Williams began hitting the truck with the knife and then threw bricks at the vehicle. He jumped in the bed of the truck, the report states, and began banging in the roof.

One witness said he was trying to kill the victim and his two daughters.

Williams remained in the Escambia County Jail Thursday morning with bond set at $81,500.
