Cantonment Man Charged With Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon
May 17, 2025
A Cantonment man was arrested on felony charge after an altercation involving a shotgun at a residence on Navarro Road early Thursday morning.
Ian Scott Jarman, 21, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $5,000.
Deputies responded to a disturbance call at approximately 12:40 a.m. The incident reportedly stemmed from a dispute over an unpaid tab at a local bar, which escalated into a verbal confrontation and threats exchanged via text messages.
The situation at the residence escalated when Jarman displayed a shotgun while standing on the front porch, aiming it at another person present who was sitting in a vehicle, according to an arrest report. The individual in the vehicle remained there during the initial confrontation.
Jarman spoke with deputies and denied pointing the shotgun, stating he had it by his side for self-defense due to receiving threatening text messages. He claimed the other individual was trying to fight him. Deputies said Jarman did not live at the residence.
After Jarman was detained, deputies entered the residence and located a Browning 20 Gauge Shotgun allegedly used in the incident. The shotgun was found to have one round in the chamber with the safety off and one round in the barrel, ECSO said.

Many are not careful about what they write, say, do.
Wee awl maik Miss Steaks.
Regardless, this shotgun sounds especially dangerous.
“If you have a shotgun with one in the chamber AND one in the barrel, the gun is going to explode. It’s called a squib and the firearm will self destruct. I think you meant to say one in the chamber and one in the magazine tube. At least I hope so.”
That’s literally what the ECSO report states. That why that sentence in the story ends with “ECSO said.” We can’t change it, only report what they said it in the report.
Can’t post an image here, but here’s a link to that part of the report:

If this article is accurate then the only one in danger here was the person arrested. If you have a shotgun with one in the chamber AND one in the barrel, the gun is going to explode. It’s called a squib and the firearm will self destruct. I think you meant to say one in the chamber and one in the magazine tube. At least I hope so.
