ECSO Report: Man ‘Beat’ Wife, Bit Her Ear, Shot At Her As She Ran For Help
August 17, 2021
A local man is charged with assaulting his wife, “beating” her, biting her ear and shooting at her as she ran away.
William Scott Taylor Janes, 49, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery and battery domestic violence.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Enon community southwest of Walnut Hill where the victim told deputies that her husband assaulted her, bit her ear and shot at her.
Janes was taken into custody, with deputies noting in their report that he appeared to be heavily intoxicated and had blood on his pants.
The victim told deputies that Janes had been drinking heavily for days and became angry because she wanted to go to church without him. He then “beat her” and bit her ear causing a permanent injury, according to an arrest report. She refused to elaborate further on the specifics of “beat her”.
She ran toward a neighbor’s house and heard at least two gunshots as he stated that he was going to kill her, the report continues.
According to the ECSO, Janes stated that he had been drinking, went to sleep, and did not remember anything else.
Janes remained in the Escambia County Jail Tuesday morning with bond set at $95,000.

Dear wife….please leave…next time he may not miss. Your family an friends will be broken hearted.
Hard to imagine. Have you ever TASTED an ear??
Why do men take out their insecurities on the person they’re with? Men who commit domestic violence appear to be borderline-antisocial, hostile, predisposed to become violent with their female companions. They both need help.
@Lamar nicely said!!
Dear abused wife,
The man you married has broken his marriage covenant. You do not have to remain with him but you can pray for his salvation while living apart. Please don’t enable him and his actions by continuing to live with him. He loves alcohol more than he loves you, and unless he turns his life over to Christ, the abuse will continue. Sadly, he has a problem that you cannot fix. You deserve better.
He should be proecting and loving her instead of beating her! I’m widowed and very heart broken that I don’t have a soulmate and at 55, its hard to find love if not just impossible. He needs to be alone for a long time. You never know how to appreciate your spouse until shes gone.
Guess he must have been having a bad day and needed to take it out on someone. What a load of crap.
Real men don’t beat up their wives much less try to kill them no matter what is going on! And what kind of weakling pulls a Mike Tyson on his wife? What a piece of work this one is!
Oh, but wait, the alcohol made him do it and he doesn’t remember anything, right? As if that somehow makes this ok. Guess what scumbag, your still responsible for your actions!
It is crazy that anyone thinks that they can do this to another person and it be ok. And why in the world would there be bond on someone this violent? Shame on the judge that is letting that happen!
And shame on this male for doing this. Notice, he’s a male, not a man! I sure hope he gets the max sentence!
Just amazed how some people act….thank God she was able to get away from him before he killed her
To the lady who suffered through this, if you read this I am so sorry for what you’ve been through. God puts us all through test in mysterious ways, but always remember God is right there along-side you. Praying for a full recovery for the victim, a incident like this could cause life-long trauma, let’s pray this one doesn’t.
Psalm 10:14
But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
