Century Rape Suspect Faces Up To Life In Prison If Convicted, Has Prior Record
August 23, 2019
The man suspected of pulling an underage girl off a Century sidewalk and raping her in the woods Wednesday faces up to life in prison if convicted as charged.
Na’Keetric Devonte Davison’s charges include two first degree felonies – kidnapping of a child to commit sexual battery and sexual battery of a victim over 12 and below 18. Both carry a maximum penalty of life in prison, according to Assistant State Attorney Greg Marcille.
“We are going to prosecute this case aggressively and seek as long of a prison sentence as possible,” Marcille told NorthEscambia.com Thursday afternoon.
Davison is also charged with battery, battery by strangulation, robbery, burglary, criminal mischief with property damage and resisting arrest. Those charges carry varying maximum sentences of 1 to 15 years. On Thursday, a judge set his bond amount at $500,000.
Davison allegedly grabbed a 16-year old girl as she walked to the library in Century, pulled into a wooded area where he raped her, then broke into a church building after running from deputies. [Read more...]
According to court records, Davison has several prior arrests and convictions in Escambia County..
2012
In 2012, NorthEscambia was there (pictured left) as the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit served a drug-related search warrant at Davison’s residence on West Highway 4 in Century. He and two other relatives were arrested, and the then 19-year old Davison was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Adjudication was withheld on both charges. Davison’s driver’s license was suspended because he failed to pay $668 in fines and costs.
2013
In 2013, Davison was convicted of marijuana possession and battery and sentenced to 210 days in the county jail. He was later charged with violating his probation in that case.
2014
In 2014, Davison was convicted on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge and sentenced to 45 days in jail. His driver’s license was later suspended and a civil lien filed for $373 in unpaid fines and costs.
In a separate case, he was charged with aggravated assault with w deadly weapon after he allegedly chased his brother around the family yard with a knife until his mother intervened. The brother said the siblings were arguing over missing money, and Davison was swinging a knife toward his chest. The fight was broken up by the duo’s mom. The charge was later dropped.
In a third case, Davison was convicted of cocaine possession, tampering with evidence and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail with credit for 77 days served. His driver’s license was ordered suspended and a civil lien was filed for $768 in unpaid fines and costs.
2016
In 2016, Davison was convicted of marijuana possession and received a sentence of 45 days in jail with a credit of 17 days served. Again, he failed to pay $388 in court costs with another civil lien and driver’s license suspension filed.
2017
In 2017, Davison was convicted of cocaine possession, carrying a concealed weapon and petit theft. Davison left the Southern Panhandle Restaurant in Century without paying for his $21.48 lunch and was walking north on North Century Boulevard when deputies caught up with him. After being instructed to keep his hands out of his pockets, Davison reached back into his pockets, prompting a deputy to draw his weapon and order Davison to remove his hands. After he was placed in handcuffs, deputies reported finding a restaurant steak knife in his pocket. When it was removed, a small plastic bag containing what was later identified as crack cocaine fell to the ground. He received a sentence of 270 days in jail. His driver’s license was revoked after he did not pay $768 in fines and costs.

Anonymous, the evidence will determine if your friend is innocent or guilty and, if he’s such a nice guy, why don’t you want your name associated with him? Meanwhile, please stop implying the victim had something to do with her being assaulted. No one asks (or deserves) to be assaulted. No one.
I bet the family will say he is a good kid and never would hurt anyone. Yeah, Right
Wonder what “COMMITED” means? I’m assuming “Da Real” is not a spelling team…
Marijuana does not make anyone a rapist .. a sick mind however is a different story..
Oh yes, the Panhandle steak knife dude. now I remember.
2012 , yep one of them weed smokers.
Not a coincidence
he should be in prison, this crime should have never been committed. Also he’s a poster child for the word FAIL look at the tattoo for starters, Commited 2 DA Real….yep he’s a real something that’s for sure
Regardless of the victims character, which some of you liberalcrats seem to think makes a darn difference, she was between 12 and 17 years old. She was going to the library, so I doubt that she was out looking to be dragged into the woods and raped. Wake up you sick people. This was somebody’s daughter. If the Cops had smoked his butt, you would be blaming them for his extensive history. We need to change the narrative and start holding the courts more responsible. Yes , I would feel the same way if he were white.
“Anonymous” that so called victim is a child walking to the library. And if what I read in another article is true, a passer by was the one who actually saw this happening and alerted the police. So before you slam the “so called victim” maybe take a good long look at your “friend” and his track record.
Well at least he is keeping the photographer busy.
>>why isn’t he charged with rape?
Rape is charged as sexual battery in Florida. Same thing.
None of his charges say rape are we even sure him and the so called victim didn’t know each other I never knew him to rape some one I don’t care what no one says he was out of it but rape is something I just don’t see him doing and if he raped this girl why isn’t he charged with rape? Something isn’t quite right about this he may be guilty of something but it’s not rape
Let me guess the narrative here that will follow: “My baby is a good boy”, My boo was framed by 5-0…. It’s the gura’s fault.
This guy should still be in jail from his 2017 conviction. What idiot let him go with such a small time in jail after his record showing he has no intention of being a good member of society and instead a burden or threat.
To bad his problems were not resolved during his arrest in 2017.
This young girl should be able to sue all his past Judges.
punishment should fit the crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it was up to me the death penalty would come into play. This guy is worthless.
I don’t know why we waste our time on people like this go ahead and execute him!! It’s obvious he’s not gonna change his ways !! They are only getting worse!
While I agree with John’s comment, I am afraid the pendulum is swinging the other way. More people with liberal attitudes who demand giving chance after chance to law breakers and prohibit police from doing their job.
This is a prme example of a failed Judicial System. This rape could have been prevented if he was behind bars where he belongs. Judges should be held accountable for letting habitual offenders continue harming others
with his record, why was he on the street? how many more are out there that are just as bad or worse. how about putting a list in the paper advising the public with a names of criminals waliking among us. at least give us a chance. the laws protect the criminals.
John, I 100% agree with you. Also the Escambia County Florida District Attorney between 2012 and 2018 really sucked. How do you continue to give this sorry of an excuse of a human being “Jail” time, instead of a long “Prison” sentence? He has progressively gotten worse by the year.
If he’s had all those charges and convictions then why is he walking the streets and not where he belongs.
Laws need to be changed so we can execute him for his dastardly deeds! And execute him with the quickness!
