Man Charged With Attempted Homicide After Cantonment Stabbing

August 1, 2018

A man has been charged with stabbing another man in Cantonment late Tuesday night.

The victim was stabbed on Madrid Road in Cantonment and somehow ended up at a gas station on Nine Mile Road at I-10 where Escambia County EMS responded and transported him to a local hospital. His condition was not available.

Larry Dre’sean  Bryant, 37, was charged with attempted homicide and robbery with a deadly weapon. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $200,000.

When deputies arrived at the Nine Mile Road gas station, they found the victim with multiple stab wounds, including one to his neck. His girlfriend told deputies the stabbing happened at her sister’s house in the 200 block off Madrid Road in Cantonment. She said Bryant arrived at the residence to collect clothing he had left there, and her boyfriend was sitting on a couch.

The woman told deputies that Bryant randomly attacked and stabbed her boyfriend multiple times, according to an arrest report. The woman said she tried to stop Bryant with a metal meat tenderizer, but that did not work. He grabbed her phone and wallet and fled the area.

Bryant was the passenger in a vehicle Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies stopped at Highway 29 and Pinestead Road.

A search warrant was later executed at the home on Madrid Road where a large amount of blood was located in the living room, along with a meat tenderizer, the report states.

    He’s a man with a good heart. Don’t let the picture fool you. I have actually heard three sides to this story now. The truth will come out in the end…

    He still looks a little hard. She should have tenderized him some more.
