A 15-year-old boy from Huntsville, Alabama, faces multiple charges, including two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, after reportedly hitting two deputies during an arrest for underage drinking in Walton County, Florida.

The incident occurred Sunday night when Walton County Sheriff’s Deputies were managing crowd control for a large group of juveniles between Nightcap Street and the beach access near S County Highway 395 in Seagrove Beach.

Deputies discovered the teen drinking a Michelob Ultra and attempted to take him into custody, according to the report from the WCSO.

During the arrest, the teen allegedly resisted and punched one of the deputies in the side of the head. As deputies escorted him to a patrol car, the minor slipped out of his handcuffs and swung his right arm across a deputy’s face, striking them in the nose with the cuffs.

In addition to the two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, the 15-year-old is charged with resisting arrest with violence, obstruction with violence, and possession of alcohol by a minor.

  • He was initially booked into the Walton County Jail before being transferred to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Crestview.

The Walton County Sheriff’s Office has chosen not to release the juvenile’s name or mug shot due to various factors, including his criminal history and out-of-state residency.

  1. Criminal history? Out of state residency? I did not know those were legitimate reasons to withhold a name. Because ge is a juvenile I understand, but the other reasons I do not.
