Escambia Man Gets Two Life Sentences For Shooting Girlfriend, Attacking Her Sister

October 17, 2019

An Escambia County man is headed to prison for life for shooting his girlfriend and attacking her sister with a hatchet.

Jeremy Alexander Bedgood was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences for attempted first degree premeditated murder with a firearm and attempted first degree murder with a weapon, aggravated stalking, false imprisonment,  two counts of  violating a domestic violence restraining order, battery and resisting an officer without violence.

On February 24, 2019, Bedgood shot his girlfriend with a .380 pistol and attacked both his girlfriend and her sister with a small hatchet, causing serious bodily injury to both women. Bedgood had followed them home from a downtown night club and confronted the women while they were still seated in their vehicle in front of their grandmother’s residence.

This incident followed a series of incidents for which Bedgood was in violation of an injunction for protection against domestic violence, issued for the victim following a separate domestic incident on February 18, 2019. On that date, Bedgood attacked the victim, pulling her by her hair off the sidewalk and into a car in an apparent abduction witnessed by several bystanders.

On February 19, 2019 Bedgood was arrested for that incident and subsequently served with the injunction. Following his release from the Escambia County Jail two days later, he immediately began contacting, calling, and following the victim to various places around Pensacola and ultimately to her grandmother’s house where the shooting occurred.

After the shooting, the Bedgood fled the state and was arrested in Dallas, Texas, in late February.

    This is exactly why you teach your daughters to use a handgun and be aware of their surroundings. A restraining order is only a piece of paper.
