ESCAMBIA COUNTY, FLA. (WSVN) — A Florida man accused of abusing his girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter has been arrested.
Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies took 37-year-old Andrew Bennett Ross Celaius into custody.
Sheriff David Morgan said they began investigating Celaius after his girlfriend took her 2-year-old daughter to the hospital with what she believed was a ringworm infection.
Doctors there were quickly able to recognize signs of child abuse and notified deputies.
The sheriff added that detectives suspected sexual abuse as well. However, these reports have not been confirmed.
“We found systemic harassment, if not torture, of a 2-year-old child as this child tried to sleep. There are videos of the child sound asleep and then getting a half full bottle thrown on the child just to wake it up,” said Chief Deputy Chip Simmons. “Another time, this same child was sound asleep and this time a full bottle, thrown in an overhand type throw, right on the child clearly waking the child up and making the child cry.”
Simmons also said Celaius would shoot the sleeping girl with an airsoft gun.
However, Simmons said one of the more disturbing videos showed the child wearing a dog collar that would shock her.
“You can hear the sounds of the dog collar being activated and then the shrieking and the pain that the child has suffered as a result of this,” Simmons said. “At one point you also see the suspect with a flame; a bit of a torch and you can hear and see the child and the injuries as a result of those things. I’ve been in law enforcement for over 30 years, and when I looked at the evidence that we saw here, me and members of my staff were speechless.”
Deputies believe some of the abuse was captured on video and shared to other people. Additional charges are expected.
Celaius has been charged with multiple counts of child abuse and other crimes. The child’s mother was also arrested, at first. However, deputies said she is cooperating, and they do not believe she was aware of the abuse.
Investigators said that while in custody, Celaius contacted 36-year-old Eric Furnans, who destroyed evidence at Celaius’ request. Furnans now faces charges of destroying evidence.
Chomp, chomp! Photos show Florida gator snacking on snake
LAKELAND, Fla. - Isn't nature awesome? Well, unless you're a snake being eaten by an alligator.
It was a Florida battle between David and Goliath, and the smart money was on Goliath in this swamp scuffle.
Jesse and Linda Waring of BirdWalk Photography spotted the fracas while visiting the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland on Saturday. After hearing a splash, the couple noticed it was feeding time for the gator.
Luckily, Linda is quick on the draw with a camera and was able to snap some amazing photographs that show how it's a "eat or be eaten" world in the wild.
While the snake put up a fight and a strong attempt to slither away, the entire altercation was over in 10 minutes and the gator was back out looking for his next bite.

Narcotics investigation led to Coral Springs police officer being dragged by SUV
Derrick Jean Pierre, 24, attempted to point gun at officer, police say
CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - A Coral Springs police officer is recovering Wednesday, a day after being dragged across a parking lot following a traffic stop.
Witnesses said the incident started near pump five at the Exxon gas station on Wiles Road. Police said a detective wearing street clothes, but wearing a police vest and carrying a badge, pulled over a white BMW SUV.
According to an arrest report, Pierre tried to point a handgun at Detective Brian Walker during the incident.
Derrick Jean Pierre, 24, of Deerfield Beach, is accused of trying to kill a Coral Springs police officer during a traffic stop.
The report states that Walker was conducting a narcotics investigation involving Pierre's passenger during the traffic stop.
Police said the passenger was holding a small bag of suspected cocaine and there was another bag of cocaine inside the driver's side door handle.
According to the arrest report, Pierre disobeyed orders to turn off the SUV and drove away as Walker was inside the vehicle with his feet dragging along the pavement.
Police said the detective fired at Pierre after Pierre reached underneath the seat and grabbed a semi-automatic gun.
The shot fired by the detective struck a nearby building in the shopping plaza by a preschool.
"I was freaked out," one parent told Local 10 News.
Parents said they were shocked to see crime scene investigators looking at the bullet hole outside the building when they dropped their children off Wednesday morning.
"The front rooms were evacuated to the back once they heard everything going down," parent Valerie Barnwall said. "It doesn't have to do with a school shooting in general, but it's still guns out and around children. You don't feel safe anymore."
Police said three schools -- Hunt Elementary, Forest Hills Elementary and Coral Springs High School -- were placed on lockdown as a precaution as authorities searched for the suspects.
Stores in the shopping plaza also locked their doors.
Police said they took the driver and his passenger into custody a few blocks away. The officer was taken to a hospital with injuries to his arms, hands and legs.
Parents said they are thankful everyone is OK.
"I know they have the best security for the kids," one parent said.
According to the arrest report, Pierre confessed to being in the area to sell drugs and told detectives that he was aware the victim was a police officer, but he tried to flee the scene because he thought the officer was going to kill him.

ORLANDO, Fla. (CBS12) — A man who admitted to molesting children will not spend any time in prison.
According to WKMG, a judge sentenced Jerico Hamilton to 15 years of sexual offender probation after he pleaded guilty to lewd and lascivious conduct.
Hamilton taught at an Orlando VPK until he was arrested last year. Several parents told investigators their children had been sexually abused during nap time.
Orange County Judge Elaine A. Barbour said she hoped the sentencing will provide "some small measure of closure."

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A man who claimed he was sleepwalking when he stabbed his roommate to death has been sentenced to life in prison.
The Palm Beach Post reports 26-year-old Randy Herman Jr. was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder and sentenced. Herman argued that he was sleepwalking when he stabbed 21-year-old Brooke Preston more than 20 times at an area home in March 2017.
He testified he had no memory of the attack, just being covered in blood with a knife in his hand.
A forensic psychologist testified that Herman’s history of sleepwalking could explain the attack. Herman’s defense argued there was no motive or history of violence between the two. Investigators said Preston was preparing to move to New York.
Prosecutors rejected the sleepwalking claim, saying the attack was deliberate.

MILTON, Fla. (WSVN) — A Florida woman has been charged with child neglect after hundreds of insects crawled out of her child’s bookbag.
According to the Pensacola News Journal, 33-year-old Jessica Stevenson was arrested Friday and charged with child neglect without causing great bodily harm.
According to her arrest report obtained by the paper, a staff member contacted the Florida Department of Children and Families after she noticed a second grade student wearing the same outfit to school for a full week. The employee also said the child had body odor.
Officials said when the employee asked the child when their last bath had been, they replied that they didn’t know.
The report goes on to say that the employee gave the child a new set of clothes and took the old outfit. However, the old outfit was described as being “severely soiled” with dirt caked into the fabric.
The employee also told investigators that “hundreds of bugs crawled out” of the student’s backpack.
When deputies went to Stevenson’s home, they discovered a roach infestation, along with spoiled food and other filthy living conditions.
However, investigators said Stevenson’s room was clean compared to the rest of the home.
Stevenson has since been released on bond.
