Century Man Accused Of The Battery Of An Older Adult In Wheelchair
June 14, 2022
A Century man is accused of the battery of an older adult in a wheelchair.
Phillip Blake Moore, 34, was charged with felony battery on a person 65 years of age or older.
Moore allegedly punched the victim in the side of his head, grabbed him around his neck and “slammed him in his wheelchair”, according to an arrest report.
“I located Moore inside the residence lying in his bed speaking incoherently. Due to previous dealings I have had with Moore, I know this is a normal behavior for him so I did not attempt to ask Moore any questions,” the responding deputy wrote.
The victim was able to leave the house and call for help. He refused treatment from EMS.
Moore remained in the Escambia County Jail early Tuesday with bond set at $25,000.

Bless the victims heart he obviously loves this person and it is absolutely a disgrace that we have no way to force people who truly need mental help the help they need in Florida! I know this to be absolutely the truth as I have tried to get someone mental help against their will and it just doesn’t happen. Then when they flip out and do something like this they put them in jail which doesn’t help them with their mental issue so it’s a vicious cycle. It is just a shame there isn’t any help for the mentally ill.
This goofus needs to be committed to a long term facility. I’m not sure about the victim taking all that abuse and refusing medical help. They sound pretty strong. God bless them!
Seems like the guy didn’t care about a person in a wheelchair!!! 65 years old and he’s a young guy !!! Not fair regardless of what happened!!!! When this boy gets convicted and locked up there are people in there tha don’t take kindly to what he did and will probably show this bad boy what it like to be taken advantage of !!! Only problem is you can’t stop these people they will get you everyday !!! Boy you bought the farm this time!!!!and you ain’t gonna like it !!!!!!
Actually it sounds like someone who needs psychiatric help.
sounds like a really great guy. not!
