Century Man Facing Battery And Child Abuse Charges

July 26, 2020

A Century man stands accused battery and child abuse, after a dispute over text messages between one of the victims and another man.

Tarail Antawn Odom, 39, was charged with two counts of battery and one felony count of child abuse.

One of the victims told deputies she was looking through her cell phone in her bedroom when Odom entered the room and began looking through her phone. She said he found text messages between her and another male before the incident escalated.

He allegedly physically assaulted the three victims — two adults and one under the age of 18 — shoving and striking them, and throwing one of them across the floor.

Odom was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $3,000 bond.

    @ Kyles:
    … “That my cousin and he is a good man and a good father to”

    Good “men and fathers” typically make better decisions regarding their families safety and security than this Odom guy. . It is what it is. Maybe you can talk/help him instead of talking to us.. Js.

    Gator, I’ve know Tarail all my life, one of the best people that you’ve ever met. You have no idea what was on that child’s phone that made this man snap. I can only imagine what he seen on the phone, actually I don’t want to imagine, since I have a young daughter also.

    Why such a low bond?
    Agression in our country needs to stop.
