Century Woman Charged With Assaulting Brother With Rake, Kicking Deputy In The Crotch

November 25, 2019

A Century woman is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly attempting to hit her brother with a rake and kicking a deputy in the crotch.

Shirley Ann Knight, 64, was charged aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of battery of a law enforcement officer.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a disturbance on Henry Street in Century where the victim told deputies that Knight had a water hose pulled to her property to steal water. That prompted an argument, and Knight soon came over swinging a metal yard rake and stating that she was going to kill him, according to an arrest report.

Knight began to complain of a medical issue after being placed into custody in the back of a deputy’s cruiser, and an ambulance was called. After being medically cleared, deputies attempted to place Knight back in the cruiser.  She began to yell and cuss before spitting on two deputies and kicking one of them in the crotch, the arrest report states.

Knight remained in the Escambia County Jail Monday with bond set at $15,000.

    Oh my, things in Century are always entertaining…… will Century ever be in the local news for something positive (maybe even normal). A cop approaches you, usually people don’t spit or kick the crotch…

    If you’re going to classy Century, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

    64 years old and she still hasn’t been able to control herself. Acts like a 5 year old when she doesn’t get her way.
