Bond Revoked For Man That Allegedly Man ‘Beat’ Wife, Bit Her Ear, Shot At Her

December 15, 2021

After another arrest in Alabama, bond has been revoked for a Walnut Hill man charged with assaulting his wife, “beating” her, biting her ear and shooting at her as she ran away.

Last August, 49-year old William Scott Taylor Janes  was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery and battery domestic violence in Escambia County, Florida.

According to the Florida pretrial release agreement Janes signed, he agreed not to consume alcohol, but an Atmore Police Department report stated he was heavily intoxicated at the time of his recent arrest for assault third degree.

The Atmore Police Department responded to Tatum Avenue in Atmore after MedStar EMS responded to a medical call. They reported that a verbal disturbance broke out between Janes and a relative while the ambulance crew was on scene.

Janes was heavily intoxicated in his car in front of the residence and complaining of chest pains, according to an arrest report. He agreed that he would go to bed and sleep, and police left. About five minutes later, they were called back after the disturbance allegedly escalated.

Atmore officers arrived to find Janes passed out on the porch. He had allegedly attacked his relative and choked her husband.

Janes was transported to Atmore Community Hospital and then booked into the Atmore City Jail. He is now in the Escambia County (Florida) Jail without bond as he awaits trial.

During the August incident in Florida, 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 at the scene, 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.

    CONTEMPLATING:
    “became angry because she wanted to go to church without him.”

    Excessively disturbed not to get to go to church.

    Yes, I know it’s serious but ‘twould be funny if that was the cause and effect.

    David for better people

    Alcohol!!!!! That’s the problem it’s in my family, and it’s destroyed many of them. I do not touch it, many should do the same. Families and children will do without this season of Jesus’s birth because of alcohol.

    Buy a gun! Don’t go back with this evil person & do not feel sorry for him. He has hurt you before & will do it again and say, “I don’t remember”. Open up a bank account in your name & take half of the money out from existing checking account. Church people help her out!

    Oh crap is what my wife said when she looked over and saw this huge photo of this wife beater on the monitor. Who in the world is that, she said.

    I’ll have to admit he’s a bit scary and crazy.

    Church won’t do this dude any good. It all starts with abstaining from alcohol on your own. A very difficult task.

    To his wife: Either he gets professional help, or you get out and move far away. This won’t be the only time you get bit, slapped and shot at again. You may not live after the next time.

    It seems like everyday the front page shocks the eyes with pictures of so many people full of anger, sadness, and despair. What has happened to our nation?

    That big ol’ Grizzly has the devil in him. No wonder she wanted to go to Church! Now if she goes back to him or let’s him come back home, it’s not “love”, it’s pure desperation.

    What? An alcoholic signs a piece of paper to abstain from drinking and our court system believes it and releases him. Tell me this is a joke.
