May 24, 2024

Kenneth Elbert Hammac, 41, was charged with aggravated battery domestic violence using a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon — all felonies.

The female victim told the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that Hammac accused her of cheating before striking her over the head with what she thought flashlight and shoving her into a table. He then pointed a handgun at their 15-year-old son, according to an arrest report.

The 15-year-old told deputies that Hammac pointed a gun at him and demanded to know who had been over, the report continues. The teen told deputies that Hammac struck the victim over the head with the butt of the handgun.

Deputies noted large laceration that bleeding heavily on the disorientated victim’s head and a table covered with blood. She was transported by Escambia County EMS to Jay Hospital for treatment.

According to the ECSO, Hammac is convicted felon, found guilty of possession of cocaine in 2008, and sentenced to two years in state prison.

The Florida Department of Children and Families was contacted about the incident.

Hammac was released from jail on a $100,000 bond.

    This guy had everything growing up the best shoes, clothes, vehicles would say he gets a 100$ a day just for going to School. That silver spoon didn’t feed him on being a real man,
    I wonder if this is going to effect his folks on keep giving to him, nope they bonded him out. Kenny you need help apparently and since your family has the resources to pay for help go get it for you and them.

    Hopefully this woman can find a safe place to stay. Once a man (coward) is violent, they never change.

    If it takes a gun to be a “big man”, then he is certainly not a man at all. I surely feel for his wife and son, for they both will carry the trauma of this for many years. They may come to a point where they can forgive this deed, but they will never forget the day it happened to them. But it is written that whatsoever a man sows he shall also reap. He will have to face the consequences of his actions sooner or later.

    Another Felon that needs to be in prison for for the next 20 years! Far to many Felons getting hands slapped and put back on the street and committing more felonies. SMH

    What is this world coming to? This person is not a man but a bully. To pull a gun on a 15 yo and his wife!?!? Praying for the wife and teen.

    A convicted felon who was able to get or still have a gun after conviction should not be released from jail on bond after arrest for another violent crime. The laws need to be changed.

    I can’t for the life of me figure out why ole Kenny boy would think this woman would want to turn away from him and turn to someone else. I mean how many women wouldn’t want to spend the rest of her life with that prize. Here’s to praying the judge makes this world a safer place and put this sorry excuse for a man away for the maximum amount of time the law will allow..

    10k is pocket change for his family, imo should’ve been a no bond.

    Should not have been released at all. Hopefully, she can find a place to be safe and protected, cause there is a chance he may come looking for her, and it might not end too well..
