Charges Upgraded To Attempted Murder Against Cantonment Man For Gas Station Shooting
June 6, 2020
A Cantonment man is now facing an attempted murder charge for allegedly opening fire at a Pine Forest Road gas station last month.
William David Nicholson II, 27, is being held in the Escambia County Jail on charges that include attempted murder, firing a weapon in the public, and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. He appeared in court Friday on the upgraded charge, and a judge set his bond at $200,000.
On May 10, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shots fired call at a gas station located in the 8600 block of Pine Forest Road at I-10. Nicholson was identified as the man that fired two shots at the victim after he allegedly cut Nicholson off in traffic.
The ECSO said Nicholson fired one shot into the victim’s driver’s side window and fired the other shot into the structure surrounding the gas pumps. The victim suffered a non-life threatening injury to the head and was taken to a local hospital.

Curious as to how and why a bond was set in an Attempted Murder case?
>>On jail view it says homicide not attempted murder
The jail view never indicates the “attempted”
On jail view it says homicide not attempted murder
He should have no bond for possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.

Locomotive.
I had a traffic issue one day. A person in another vehicle tried to hit side of my vehicle while traveling on HWY 90 in Milton. I followed the other vehicles to a parking lot with intent of getting his tag number, the man got out of his vehicle and ran up to my vehicle. My mistake was getting out of my vehicle, he assaulted me knocked me to the ground and jumped on my back (I’m 64). His wife called the police, when I got up I got into my vehicle to use my phone.
When the police arrived they talked to the man an his wife then they ordered me out of vehicle at gun point. I was handcuffed an sat on the ground, after sometime passed an officer finally came over an read me my rights an asked me what happen. All I told him was I had a camera on the front windshield. After they viewed the video they put him and his wife in handcuffs and apologized to me and uncuffed me.
The moral of this story is that had I not had the camera who knows what could have happened to me or him. Everyone should be cautous because you never know where a camera is watching ever move you make. A camera in your car can help you in many ways.
