Cantonment Man Charged With Assault With A Deadly Weapon
May 2, 2018
A Cantonment man was arrested after jumping from his attic and later pulling a gun on other occupants of his house, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Nicholas Morris was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
A deputy responded to the 1200 block of Woodlake Drive for a warrant service. When she arrived, she was met by a man that said Morris had jumped out of his attic and ordered everyone to get out of his house because “they were snitches”. The man said Morris had guns in the house and had been up for three days after taking methamphetamines, according to an ECSO arrest report.
A female outside the house told the deputy that after Morris jumped out of the attic, he grabbed a gun and said “if they didn’t get out, he would kill them, the arrest report states. The female said the gun was a lever-action rifle.
Deputies entered the residence by breaching the front door; Morris was found in his bathroom and taken into custody.
A search of the house revealed two semi-automatic handguns under a couch cushion in the living room, a box of ammunition in the living room and multiple calibers of ammunition in the bedroom used by Morris, according to the report.
Morris remained in the Escambia County Jail Wednesday morning due to a probation violation charge.

I LoVe yOu Nicholas Morris<3
It’s Ashley Britt McArthur – she is walking free after murder and trying to cover it up by burying her victim. She has violated her probation and still walks free. Definitely a connection with this county’s justice system in the case.
Here this young man Nicholas Morris seems to be high on drugs and made threats. No one was injured and thankful they were not. Maybe scared to death by what they thought the young man might do. The guns and ammo found were probably there to protect himself and others from home robbery or invasion. Can’t say I blame people for having their own protection.
@ Hughes….Please…please contact the defense team. They need to use you as a material witness. We need to get our friend out of this wrongful accusation.
I know there are drugs that are making Americans go crazy. This is proof. Nick had it so put together. His whole life he was smart and compassionate. I have seen some of our best loose it, and I know it’s because of drugs. . . . Yes and ” pot” is not harmless either. They have GMOed it. It’s making our youth go coocoo. It’s not the same harmless pot we used to smoke in the good old days.
@ Just Sayin’ & Hughes
Both of you are right, the woman who is accused of murder and walks among us is said to be “Well Connected” in this county.
Like other crimes, murders, robberies we’ll likely never know The Rest of the Story.
Doesn’t make sense for others to be Locked Up when their offenses are, to us anyway, much less severe than murder, unlawful disposal of a body, arson, robbery, theft and an endless list of other questions and happenings. Follow the Money.
@ Just Sayin’ & Hughes
Just sayin = do you REALLY think you have the whole story??????? You don’t.
So he remained in jail due to a probation violation and all he did allegedly threaten to kill someone and in another story a woman who allegedly killed someone and also violated her probation is walking freely amongst us.
