Cantonment Man Charged With Battery Of His Pregnant Girlfriend, Resisting Arrest With Violence

August 17, 2020

A Cantonment man was charged with battery of his pregnant girlfriend and resisting arrest.

Shane Christopher Cash, 25, was charged with aggravated battery when the offender knew the victim was pregnant, criminal mischief with property damage, resisting an officer with violence, and tampering in a third degree felony proceeding. Cash remained in the Escambia County Jail Monday with bond set at $25,000.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of Klondike Road and Wilde Lake Boulevard where they found an unoccupied Toyota in the roadway with the hazard lights on. The female victim approached the deputy, crying hysterically and stating, “he wrecked my vehicle” while looking at a male that was walking away from the scene at a quick pace.

The deputy pursued Cash on foot and gave him several loud commands to stop with no results. As the deputy caught up with Cash, he said that he was doing nothing wrong and still refused to stop. Cash told the deputy, “You better not touch me”, all according to an ECSO arrest report.

The deputy then grabbed Cash’s left arm and performed a leg sweep, “guiding” him into a grassy area, the report states. The deputy and Cash continued to struggle as Cash refused to follow commands and physically resist the deputy.

The victim, identified in the report as Cash’s girlfriend, said she loaned him her car. He returned to say he had wrecked the car by Cracker Barrel.

They drove the car away and begin to argue. He began to hit the dashboard, breaking it, the report states.  The woman grabbed her daughter from the back seat, ran away and tried to call 911. That’s when cash allegedly snatched the phone out of her hand and scratched her face.  The victim told deputies that she is 33 weeks pregnant with Cash’s child.

Cash denied the allegations against him.

    Don’t blame the woman. You sound like one of those people that work for adoption agency. Yes we all know it’s real. Instead of helping get someone out of those situation. You tend to take the kids. Right??Oh Grandma’s are out here. Yet WE aren’t allowed in court or able to see the judge or get in touch with our grandkids when this happens. Trust me . I tried. Yet you write oh those poor babies. Stop it. Get in touch with Grandparents. They don’t have a voice in Florida. Y’all think it could happen to you. Stop saying poor kids. And Say Hell Grandma or Grandpa….let them be able to step in with kids need help. Think people……

    When using the leg sweep, I prefer to use a choke hold as opposed to grabbing an arm. You just gently ease them to the ground. It always leaves my free arm/hand available to deploy a sharp.

    Lady, get a new man in your life.

    REGARDING:
    “when did Klondike and Wilde Lake Blvd become part of Cantonment? ”

    It says HE is a Cantonment man. (Part of that is questionable, depending on your definition of “man.” ) Not that it happened in Cantonment.

    At least it didn’t say “Century man.” Let us count our blessings.

    It says a Cantonment man, as in they must live in Cantonment, not that it happened there

  7. Kimberly Dukes on August 17th, 2020 1:16 pm

    “On a different note, when did Klondike and Wilde Lake Blvd become part of Cantonment? I thought it was part of Beulah?”

    The story does not say Klondike and Wilde Lake are in Cantonment or are not in Beulah.

    I hope her family can help her get out of this situation. She’s going to end up dead if she doesn’t get out..

    On a different note, when did Klondike and Wilde Lake Blvd become part of Cantonment? I thought it was part of Beulah?

    These type substance abuse fueled relationships are becoming more the norm and we see more domestic violence occurring. Many younger people have no regard for anyone or anything but their next high. It is a sad example of what type children we will see growing up in society, products of these type relationships with no stability and no moral compass . This young woman needs to get into counseling and try to get out of this type lifestyle before her children are sucked into the same cycle . So sad.

    Baby doesn’t have to listen to the police or anyone else. He was taught right by his parents.

    Sad situation! Totally agree with David Huie Green, but afraid she will not heed the warning

    It’s a little late to break up, but better late than dead.
