ECSO: Molino Man Hits Grandfather With An Apple, Threatens Him With Machete
August 21, 2019
A Molino man threatened his grandfather with a machete and hit him with an apple, leading to two felony charges, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Ricardo John Molina, 28, was charged with aggravated assault on an elderly person and batter on an elderly person. He remained in the Escambia County Jail Wednesday morning with bond set at $54,500.
The grandfather told deputies that he became involved in an heated argument with Molina, who had a machete. Fearing his safety, he said he went to his bedroom and closed the door. Molina began to kick the door, and the victim opened it briefly to tell him to stop.
In self defense, the grandfather pepper-sprayed Molina as he advanced toward him with the machete, according to an arrest report. Molina threw an apple at the victim, striking him in the chest. Molina told his grandfather “he would cut his head off”, the report states.
The grandfather refused medical treatment.
Molina stated that he did not touch his grandfather.

He should be a shame of his self,elderly people can’t defend them selves,and grand parents should be loved and cared for,I wish i could have spent more time with mine,but it’s got to where this world has gone mad,not like it use to be,people had respect in the day,and sure wish it was like that now,but all that’s in the past,this generation is different.Good old days are gone.
Some of nicest people on earth are covered in tattoos. Stop judging the appearance and start judging the problem.
This is a GROWN man living with Grandpa; that’s not an unfamiliar occurrence in this area.
You, the over 60 generation raised your children.
Those children had children that were left at your house for various reasons. Y
ou were too old, too kind, too forgiving, too something and now those grandchildren are beating you up.
Stop enabling these kids to be part of the thug life and tell your children to come get their youngins.
And before you guys get all bent outta shape. It was just an observance. chill
What’s goin’ on with Molina? Wait for it…
I am thankful that his grandfather had pepper spray instead of a gun. That could have been a whole other story. I don’t mind tattoos, I have one myself. However, when you see a person tattooed like this young man it goes far beyond the normal. One has to realize the pain tolerance he has, the anger shown in the tattoos he chose, and his self value. Yes, he very well could be mentally unstable, on drugs, or just not caring anymore. Trust me, as a person with 16 years experience in the criminal justice field, his grandfather was lucky. This is not the first threat with a machete in Escambia county by a juvenile or young adult.
Where eagles dare
I don’t know him, but I can tell these weren’t the first questionable decisions he’s made in his life.
Register face tatts, not fun owners. More going wrong than JUST like judgment.
Tattoos on the face like that show that someone has more going wrong than JUST bad judgment. Face tattoo should be registered more than Gun owners.
It’s sad to see people making fun of any disturbing behavior.
What kind of apple was it? If it was a “Granny” smith would he of been okay to throw it?
When you tattoo your forehead like that, you cut your opportunities to move up in the world significantly.
Let me guess…. He moved here from another area…..
I think this guy graduated at the school of thuggggs
What is in the water down there everybody beating up or hitting fathers and Mothers, grandparents most of the people abusing them don’t have a place to live or stay we all know drugs are 85 percent but if your hurt seniors that’s helping and your hurt them you should be a felony and Go to Jail . Because you only have grandparents for short live . Maybe the abuser will get a taste how it feels in jail mommy and daddy and grandparents might have peace without the stress from TUGS don’t care Sad Sad Sad Sad No Respect
That forehead tattoo matches the jail uniform nicely.
