Cantonment Man Sentenced After Pleading To Reduced Battery Charge
April 8, 2019
A Cantonment man has been sentenced to 12 months probation after being accused of hitting a man in the head with a pipe during an argument
Jeremiah John Fontaine, 21, was originally charged with felony aggravated battery with a deadly weapon but pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of misdemeanor battery.
Fontaine told deputies that he remembered getting into a big argument which led to a physical altercation before he left the scene, according to an arrest report, but he did not mean to kill or harm anyone.
He also received 50 hours community service.

To those of you who do not know Jeremiah, let me enlighten you on the man he really is.He is a man who goes to work daily to provide for our son. He comes home after a long day at work and helps clean house, cook dinner, take our son out to play and never complains. Not only is he a outstanding father but he is an outstanding husband. I watched this man push an elderly woman up a hill, all the way to her home about a mile away because her electric scooter ran out of charge. I have seen him give his own belongings to people in need. Before you people comment on an article that you are not involved in, or comment about a man you do not even fully know, think twice. Think about how you are making him feel, how you are making his son feel. This man would give anything to anyone in need. if you do not know his true character, then stop hiding behind your keyboards acting like everyone on this planet is perfect. we have all made mistakes, we have all done things we are not proud of. But that does not make Jeremiah any less human than the rest of us. He deserves more than the hate he is receiving. instead of being judgmental, offer words of encouragement to him and his family. let this man continue his life, do not sit here and make his life a living hell to better yourselves.
No required anger management classes? If he only got probation you would think they would want to help him make better choices when angered again. You can control yourself and how you react to situations not the other person.
I still stand by what I said he wasn’t the one doing the hitting a lawyer will get you to admit to anything he has a precious wife and baby that he’s good to I went to church with him,I haventbbad mouthed anyone are have I’ve been rude this is just how I feel love you David
I know Jeremy. He is a hard worker, patient, friendly, and a nice young man.
Susan,
I haven’t judged. Some people need whacking. Maybe that was one of them.
David for proper piping
Charlie…i guess no one has ever lied on you !! Such sweet Charles has never got himself in any kind of predicament that was out of your control!! Your so perfect lol
@Susan—So I guess that you can hit a person on the head with a pipe, plead guilty, & still be a very nice young man?
@ David: Think of what this young man could have done if he was not the sweetest, kindest, young man could ever meet. Thank goodness he is not mean and has a bad attitude. I hope he never pulls a pipe on some people who have been known to carry a knife or a gun. That way he can be the good father/son/husband and friend for a longer time.
He is a very nice young man David if you knew him you would feel the same way
CONSIDERING:
“he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He would do anything for anyone.”
Therefore it is a shame he pled guilty while being too nice to actually be guilty.
David for justice
Maybe, if you don’t know the whole story, MAYBE you should keep your mouth shut!! Do you know him personally? Because I DO and he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He would do anything for anyone. So once again MIKE… if you don’t k on the story, keep your opinions to yourself…. ok?? Thanks!
Well MIKE thanks for knowing everything
Jeremiah is the sweetest young men I have ever know he’s a son Daddy husband you couldn’t ask for a nicer young man we love you sweetheart
a good lawyer and being young you can get out of doing time for beating someone. enjoy it while it lasts, next time might be a bit harder to wiggle out of.
