Walnut Hill Woman Charged For Alleged Facebook Death Threat Over Mutual ‘Baby Daddy’
March 25, 2026
A Walnut Hill woman is facing a felony charge after allegedly posting online threats to kill or cause bodily harm to another woman who shares the same “baby daddy.”
According to a Pensacola Police Department warrant affidavit, officers responded to a harassment complaint on June 17, 2024. The victim reported that 41-year-old Kizzi Sherae Graham had been making threatening posts on Facebook.
On Monday, Graham was arrested on an outstanding warrant, charging her with one felony count of written or electronic threats to kill or do bodily injury. She remained in the Escambia County Jail Wednesday morning with bond set at $10,000.
Investigators state the dispute began over a social media post involving a mutual “baby daddy.” Graham allegedly posted threats to “drag,” “beat,” and “put hands on” the victim at her place of employment. One post, which remained visible to police, explicitly warned the victim to “be ready” the next time they crossed paths, the affidavit states.
The victim provided screenshots of the messages to law enforcement as evidence.
Tate High Ag Student Completes 54-Hour Custom Fire Pit Build By Hand
March 25, 2026
Tate High School senior Ian Stinnett recently completed a custom hanging fire pit, finishing the 54-hour project entirely by hand in the school’s agricultural mechanics shop.
While many modern shop projects utilize the Torchmate CNC machine for automated precision, this specific design required manual fabrication. Working under the supervision of Ag Mechanics teacher and FFA advisor Travis Ackerson, Stinnett used a plasma cutter, MIG welder, and angle grinder to cut and join every component.
The project required manual measurements and steady-hand cutting for each piece. Stinnett also had to manually level the pit using a chain system to ensure the finished product hung evenly.
The project highlighted the technical problem-solving and manual craftsmanship taught within the Tate agricultural program, particularly when automated equipment is not an option for a specific build.

Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons faced some really tough questioning in Tuesday evening in Molino.
“Do you have to eat a specific meal?”
“Do you have other sheriff friends?”
“Do villains name themselves or do you name them?”
Those were just a few of the questions Simmons said he was asked by BSA Troop and Pack 430 at Aldersgate Methodist Church in Molino. Simmons helped the scouts earn their Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge, which required them to interview an elected official. The sheriff said the questions were among the most interesting he’s received.
“It is always refreshing to spend some time with a group of future leaders that are this engaged and eager to learn,” Simmons said.
