FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR INFORMATION CONTACT: January 07, 2008 Dominic Guadagnoli, Public Affairs Officer (850) 554-6602   Fugitive Wanted for Assault in Escambia County, Florida Caught at the FL-AL State Line   Flomaton, AL -The U.S. Marshals North Florida Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested Jimmy Cash of Flomaton, Alabama at his home Monday afternoon. Cash, 48, was arrested by the Marshals Task Force and Flomaton Police Department at his home on the 700 Block of Upper Creek Road without incident. Cash is wanted on an Escambia County Florida warrant charging him with Battery or Domestic Battery by Strangulation, Battery on a Person 65 Years or Older, a felony charge of Cruelty Toward Child/Abuse Without Great Harm and two misdemeanor charges of Criminal Mischief with Property Damage. The charges stem from allegations that on December 23 while at a family Christmas party, Cash had become intoxicated and was asked not to drive by family members. Supposedly Cash then became violent and according to a sheriff’s report got involved in an altercation with a family member and then assaulted another who tried to break up the fight. The second victim was then allegedly strangled by Cash and the fight ensued outside. After that Cash purportedly kicked in a back door and went to a car where the second victim’s 6 year-old daughter was inside and started punching and breaking the windshield. That victim once again tried to stop Cash who reportedly grabbed her by the throat and threw her to the ground. After the Task Force learned that Cash was at home, they went to Alabama with task force members from Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and made contact with the Flomaton Police Department. Cash was subsequently arrested at around 2:30 p.m. Cash was taken to the Escambia County Jail in Escambia County, Alabama by the Flomaton Police Department and will await extradition back to Escambia County, Florida where he will face the charges.
