ECSO: Molino Man Attacked His Girlfriend With A Sword And Hammer On Christmas Eve
December 28, 2023
A Molino man allegedly attacked his girlfriend with a sword and hammer on Christmas Eve.
Dawain Bryant Baxter II, 46, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and battery by strangulation, both domestic violence related.
The victim told the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that she invited Baxter, her boyfriend of four months, to come over for Christmas. He began to threaten and told her he would “bash your head in so you never wake up”, according to an arrest report.
Baxter then hit the woman in the forehead with a hammer, struck her across the chest with a sword and choked her until she passed out, the report continues. Deputies noted that she had injuries consistent with her allegations.
ECSO deputies later located Baxter at a convenience store on Highway 29 in Cantonment and found him with the sword.
Baxter said the woman had hit him in the stomach with a hammer. A deputy stated in his report that he only had a small scratch that did not appear to be caused by a hammer.
Baxter remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $50,000.

Young love… crazy kids.
Mr. God fearing citizen, My favorite is “Wearing a cowboy hat does not make you a cowboy anymore than wearing a Veteran’s ball cap makes you Veteran.”
Fearing citizens, what a crock!
This Christmas invite might last a few years depending on his scoresheet .
Richard unfortunately going to church doesn’t make you hate less. It only gives you guidance and a place to worship. It’s like this,you can buy a motorcycle but that don’t make you a biker. You can buy boxing gloves and go to a fight but it don’t make you a boxer. Until one actually practices and learns the ways to being what they are wanting to, they will never truly be that. You can live your whole life doing right by God and not step foot In a church. You might still have a better chance than some who have gone 2 times a week their whole Christian lives.
McClowd I see what you did there.
If they had been in church Christmas eve. There would not be so much hate in there hearts.
Let’s hope she is smart and he is boyfriend no longer.
There can be only one
