Century Man Charged With Battery Of His Wife And Child Abuse
November 12, 2021
A Century man has been charged with battery of his wife and child abuse.
Joshua Shane Thompson, 30, was charged with battery in a domestic violence situation and child abuse.
Thompson allegedly grabbed his wife around the throat and attempted to choke her during an argument, according to an arrest report.
He then pulled her to the ground by the hair of her head while she was holding a young child and threatened to shoot her, the report continues. The victim stated she never saw a gun.
The wife and child suffered minor injuries, deputies said.
Thompson was released from the Escambia County Jail Thursday morning on a $7,000 bond.

thanks for explaining David.
Need to pray for all and not condemn
Its not our job or responsibility to judge
REGARDING:
“Why are these people getting bonds????”
They must assume he will not commit any more violent acts before trial. There is the danger they may be wrong, but they have had lots of experience — way more than we would like.
Add the fact he has not been convicted yet and may never be. Keeping people in jail who have not been convicted is considered unjust….actually, it IS unjust, also illegal (8th Amendment in The Bill of Rights: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Trust me, people have been and ARE kept in prison on trumped up charges in assorted countries.).
David for justice, if possible
Why are these people getting bonds???? Knowing that if it went to that degree it’s not the first nor probably wont be the last. Yet they keep letting them out.
These kind of people catch all the breaks. I bet he serves no jail time.
Sounds to me that the mother was protecting her child and herself and this individual just plain got out of control and lost it……Send him off where he belongs before he hurts or kills them…..just my thoughts!
Tough guy huh….. Unless your life was in danger, you skrud up
