Cantonment Man Charged With Battery, Felony Child Abuse

June 22, 2021

A Cantonment man is facing charges after allegedly throwing a child across a room and hitting a woman.

Jacky Ray Mills, 45, was charged felony child abuse and misdemeanor battery.

Mills became angry after the victim played a practical joke on his son. Mills pinned the child against the wall before picking him up and throwing him across the room, according to an arrest report.

The adult victim stated she slapped Mills in defending the child, prompting Mills to grab her around the neck and push her down a hallway before hitting her.

The age of the child was redacted from the report, but he was old enough to be questioned by deputies. The nature of the practical joke was not specified in the report.

Mills was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $6,500 bond.

    REGARDING:
    “…we grew up on pracitcial jokes and pranks…..”

    Since we don’t know the nature of the “practical joke,” we don’t know it would have been acceptable even in your family.

    His response certainly SEEMS extreme, but it would depend on the details. “Practical jokes” have been known to kill, blind, maim, destroy treasured possessions. I suspect those were not done in your family.

    We also don’t know if anything said against him is true, Maybe none of it actually happened; people lie.

    David for better people

    He apparently has an issue with keeping his hands to himself and needs to be taught how to do so.

    You go around putting your hands and only thing that is going to come to you is Karma, but you have heard that before im sure.

    You are a pathetic and horrible excuse for a living person.
    I Hope for the child’s sake you get a nice thick slice of Karma.

    It’s not a good joke if he got this upset about it.
