Charges have been upgraded against a 19-year old Cantonment man accused of shooting a teen following a bowling alley incident just before 1 a.m. on September 23.
Nicholas James Vallia was originally charged with aggravated battery using a deadly weapon. Friday, the charge was upgraded to first degree attempted murder when he was arraigned. He is also charged with discharging a firearm from a vehicle, firing into a vehicle or building, and criminal mischief.
Vallia allegedly shot into a car that had been parked outside of DeLuna Lanes, striking a 17-year old male in the arm and stomach. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said the shots were fired somewhere on Nine Mile Road after the victim became involved in an argument with another group of people.
Vallia was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $46,000 bond seven minutes after surrendering at the Escambia County Jail.He spent about nine minutes in jail Friday before being released on a $50,000 bond

Bail amounts? Marijuana sentences? Thinking before acting?
Nineteen years old. Twenty one is the legal age for concealed carry.
Why did he have a gun? And how did it get into the hands of a nineteen year old?
CONTEMPLATING:
“attempt on someone’s life and get released on bail, but if you’re caught with a gram of Marijuana they wanna bury you?”
Bury you?
“Possession of 20 grams or less of cannabis is a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum sentence of 1 year imprisonment and a maximum fine of $1,000. Possession of more than 20 grams and up to 25 pounds of cannabis is a felony punishable by a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment and a maximum fine of $5,000.”
Florida Criminal Code § 893.13(h)(3)
Florida Criminal Code § 893.135(1)(a)(1)(2)(3)
So how MUCH did you HAVE???
David for truth
Wait… so you can take a attempt on someone’s life and get released on bail, but if you’re caught with a gram of Marijuana they wanna bury you? Oh how I love our backwards county.
So how does this work? I would suppose he had paid $4600 cash to get out when he was under the $46000 bond, Then he had to pay another $5000 cash to get out on the $50000 bond? Would a bondsman please explain?
