Cantonment Man Charged With Child Cruelty, Burglary With Assault, Battery On Officer

May 5, 2020

A Cantonment man is facing a list of charges after allegedly breaking into a woman’s home, injuring a child and threatening to kill a woman before picking up an Escambia County deputy, throwing him to the ground and hitting him.

Jacob Ryan Foust, 39, is charged with burglary with assault and battery, battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, child cruelty, child neglect, drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and property damage.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a burglary in progress call at a location redacted from his arrest report. The victim told deputies after she returned home Foust walked into her home carrying a log and threatened to kill her. He also allegedly broke the rear-view mirror off her vehicle.

When deputies arrived, Foust had been allegedly rambling about guns and ammunition while heavily intoxicated. He picked up a deputy and threw him on the ground and hit the deputy in the face before he was tased, according to the arrest report.

After he was taken into custody, a witness said children were located next to the roadway on Highway 29.

Deputies found the children by the road. They said Foust sent them there to look for Jessica Marie Carroll, according to an arrest report. One said they had been left alone for about 20 minutes. Carroll, age 32 of Cantonment, was charged with child negligence in connection with the incident.

During the investigation, deputies located a leafy substance that field tested positive for spice along with a metal grinder. One of the children told deputies, “that’s my dad’s weed” and attempted to grab the bag of spice, the report states.

Foust remained in the Escambia County jail with bond set at $16,500.

    I wasn’t going to comment BUT just have to put in my two cents worth: spice not only can cause extreme aggressiveness, it ALWAYS causes total stupidity! I love this guy’s face, he asked for it.

    I’m surprised he looks that good. You hit a cop and you deserve whatever you get. Back in the day that ol’ boy would’ve never made it to the jailhouse.

    @Retired: Spice can make a person aggressive – very aggressive. As a former federal prison employee, I’ve helped to pull any number of inmates off of other inmates, and worse, staff, after they were high from smoking this stuff. They were hard to control.

    Anyone remember RED from the movie “FRIDAY”?

    Looks like he should’ve ducked getting in the police cruiser lol. Glad the deputy is okay.

    @ retired

    As a paramedic, who has been thrown around by a person who had smoked it, I can assure you that spice does make a person aggressive. It also makes others sad,violent and psychotic. When they get aggressive they have the power of a horse.

    Cops played whack a troll lol

  11. just sayin on May 5th, 2020 3:25 pm

    Boy oh boy. That taser got a hold of him real good.

  12. Lee on May 5th, 2020 2:06 pm

    Child endangerment/neglect should be the FIRST charge, then whatever the “crime” was should be secondary. Until we turn this around, we will continue to see kids being raised to be criminals, too.

    What’s worse than a knuckle dragger? A drunk knuckle dragger on meth. Instant diagnosis, by someone who has seen it all. Weed and spice don’t make one aggressive.

    I do love the makeover the perp received. He must have run into a tree, trying to get away from that taser. That ain’t nothin’, compared to what he’s gonna feel like once he goes into withdrawal. I urge anyone considering bailing him out: DO NOT DO IT!! Let him stay there until he gets sober. You’ll be amazed at the difference in him.

    That’s called boot eye. It’s caused by an allergic reaction to the black dye in leather police boots when applied with sufficient force to the affected area.

    First case of “murder” hornet sting in Escambia County!!!

  16. ROBERT on May 5th, 2020 9:14 am

    From the looks of his face..he fought the law and the law won…Thumbs up for the LEO….

    Moral of the story: don’t be throwing law enforcement personnel around or they might throw you around a little. (Note bee sting near eye.)

  18. judy on May 5th, 2020 9:02 am

    They didn’t do enough…he is still breathing.

  19. whack on May 5th, 2020 8:53 am

    he must have really hit the deputies fist HARD with his left eye! I bet that deputy will never hold his fist in the way of someone’s eye EVER again…… that’ll teach ‘em.

    Here comes the law suit.

    ” I was just walking down the street, when this officer came up and hit me”

  21. sam on May 5th, 2020 8:45 am

    this is not the end to this sorry situation. he’ll be out on bond and high again before dark. poor kids.

  22. Captain O on May 5th, 2020 8:12 am

    @Travis

    Looks like he fell face first into a 55-gal drum of butt whoopin’. Too bad the officers didn’t beat his butt too.

  23. Oversight on May 5th, 2020 7:53 am

    Burglarize get a couple thousand dollar bond; child cruelty charges add a few more thousand dollars in bond; mugshot pic on NorthEscambia.com – PRICELESS!

  24. TJ on May 5th, 2020 7:39 am

    Looks like someone dotted that eye.

  25. Travis on May 5th, 2020 7:14 am

    He must have tripped before the officers arrived.

  26. JTV on May 5th, 2020 7:04 am

    He’ll be out and causing problems in no time. Taser should have never been used. The Glock would have been better suited.

  27. Justice on May 5th, 2020 5:14 am

    Only a $16,500 bond? What a joke!
    Why don’t judges get serious with these thugs?

  28. Just saying on May 5th, 2020 4:16 am

    Bad boy, bad boy whatcha gonna do when the law comes for you?

    Next time (and there is always a next time it seems) you better go peacefully

  29. Rufus on May 5th, 2020 3:03 am

    WOW!!! That taser really did a job on his face!

  30. biscut on May 5th, 2020 2:53 am

    “I fought the law……” you know the rest…
