Cantonment Man Charged With Punching Woman, Hitting Her With Space Heater
May 2, 2024
A Cantonment man is accused of punching a woman before striking her on the head with a space heater.
Jeffery Jermaine Purifoy was charged with felony aggravated battery.
He allegedly hit a woman in the mouth with a closed fist before slamming a space heater onto her head while she was “balled up on the ground”, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report.
Deputies noted in their report that the woman suffered obvious injuries but refused EMS.
Purifoy remained in the Escambia County Jail Thursday morning with a U.S. Marshals Service hold.

Why has jail become a revolving door? Get tough on crime only works if criminals are not released on bond after multiple arrests.
You’re exactly right, Mic! Bad enough to punch a woman but while curled up in the fetal position on the floor?!? Pathetic! Hopefully he’ll get a taste of his own medicine in jail!!
Coward! It takes a pretty small guy to hit a woman. Worse to attack someone balled up. Just a bully not a man.
