A Cantonment man is facing multiple charges for six different alleged incidents including battery, burglary and other crimes involving his wife and two other women between May 5 and August 1.

He remained in the Escambia County Jail without bond Wednesday.
An adult female told Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies that Bassett punched her six or seven times in the face during a disturbance over $40 at a residence on Cedar Tree Lane. The victim, who was identified as a “friend”, suffered bleeding from the left side of her face, swollen eyes and had marks on her face and the back of her head, according to an arrest report.

He then hit the woman multiple times with a wooden chair while claiming she stole $300 from him, according to arrest report.

She suffered multiple cuts and bruises, facial swelling and a broken nose according to the ECSO. She was transported by Escambia County EMS to Sacred Heart Hospital for treatment of a concussion.
In a third incident, Bassett was reported to be in a vehicle within three feet of a vehicle belonging to his wife and her mother’s house in violation of a temporary domestic violence injunction against him.
In a fourth case, Bassett allegedly punched his ex-girlfriend in the face multiple times with a closed fist at the T&W Flea Market, removed her keys from her vehicle’s ignition and threatened to kill her.
In a fifth case, Bassett allegedly violated an domestic violence injunction by flattening the tires on his wife’s vehicle. The woman told deputies they were in the process of separation.

again, i have known him since i was 18 and never saw that side of him.
So how many chances are they going to give this monster? Society has forgotten the real reason why our ancestors built prisons.
This man is never going to stop hurting women and it’s not going to stop until he kills someone. Why aren’t we looking for a child publicly like some of these other cases. It’s almost like we have given up or forgot about her. Danielle Bell. Why hasn’t anyone contacted G.M.A ,F.B.I or really pushed hard on this guy.Go look
at his public record up until now and then tell me he doesn’t know what happened to her…He definitely knows…..bad look for Escambia County Law Enforcement.. they should have a protest or huge public rally to bring this back to light. Save some womans life keep him locked up or it’s blood your hands
Robert has been a felon since before he was a teenager. He is and should still be a person of interest for a few cases against him as follows
Stalking harassing battery/ with a deadly weapon vop and many more. He is a danger to society!!! He needs to be looked into as a person of interest!!!
I agree with Danielle’s sister. This guy is an animal and has been since at least 16 yrs old. Has never contributed anything positive to society and in fact, is a predator.
Glad to see this guy back in jail. He is also a person of interest in the Danielle Bell case. He is a detriment to society and needs to be locked away. Or perhaps go in front of a firing squad. He is dangerous and I hope they keep him locked up for a long time.
Waterlady,
Don’t be given women no ideas!
Get a gun…and then STAND YOUR GROUND….unload the magazine and be sure to hit your target…problem solved.
FINE UP STANDING CITIZEN needs to be put away for a loooooooooooooong time.
Nice guy. I bet his momma is proud.
He is a real Man is he not ???? Beating on women, Hope he gets his butt kicked while in his favorite place, JAIL. Enjoy your stay
Temporary restraining order.? Get a piece of paper that means something: a CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT. Buy a gun. Learn how to safely use it and keep it with you.
Not sure there will a bunch of women to beat-up on where he is going.
He is lucky he got arrested before the three women teamed up and got a hold of him,
At least he stays busy.
And women just keep picking this winner. I just don’t get it plenty of good men out there.
