Cantonment Man Charged With Pushing Fiancée, Breaking Her Rib

November 5, 2020

A Cantonment man was arrested after allegedly pushing his fiancée of five years into a chair, breaking her rib.

Eric Lamon Hurst, 45, was charged with felony aggravated battery causing bodily harm or injury. He remained in the Escambia County Jail Thursday morning with bond set at $5,000.

The victim told the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that Hurst had been drinking alcohol and began to video her with his phone while she was not dressed appropriately. Despite multiple requests, he would not stop, so she took his phone away. He became upset and bit her lip and hand, according to an arrest report.

Hurst then pushed the victim down into a wooden chair hard enough to break her rib and the chair, the report states. She was transported by Escambia County EMS to West Florida Hospital for treatment.

Hurst told deputies he was sleeping and did not touch the victim and he was video chatting with his sister. He also said that he was not sure why EMS transported the victim, the ECSOs reported.

    Everybody please stop with all the jokes. These are real people with real pain. Nothing is funny about this. The whole situation is sad. I’ve known them both for years.
    @David Huie Green, they’ve only been engaged a few months.

    COGITATING UPON:
    “fiancée of five years”

    “MARRY IN HASTE, REPENT AT LEISURE” doesn’t apply but repent might still be worth contemplating.

    Maybe his Fiancee was his barber? If that is the case, I need to quote Chris Rock. “I don’t agree with what he did, but I understand.”

    RUN from this man. There are things A LOT worse than being single. Besides, there are still a few real men out there. This man does NOT love you. He needs help. You may need help in the form of counseling or else you may be drawn again to someone who wants to use you, like this person does. Call Favor House, or seek out New Live Live.

    Way to go big man!!!! Takes a big strong, confident and moral MAN to hurt a woman unless your life is at risk.

    I hope she doesn’t bail him out! I hope she gets as far away from him as she can and leaves him alone. Men don’t do this, PUNKS do.
