A Louisiana man is charged with two counts of aggravated child abuse after he attacked two juvenile girls at an Okaloosa Island condominium complex Sunday. 35-year old Kendrick Cordell Boxie of Sunset Louisiana was taken into custody after deputies responded to a call of a disturbance in progress at 1530 Miracle Strip Parkway around 12:30 a.m. July 27th.
A deputy found Boxie in the dining room area of a condo, being restrained by two adult females. A 15-year old reported that Boxie pushed her face down into a couch and choked and punched her. A 13-year old girl who went to the older teen’s defense was shoved to the ground. The teens say Boxie then came after them with a belt, striking one in the hands and the other in the left eye with the buckle. They say he followed them outside where he continued his attack. The 15 year old told deputies Boxie grabbed her by the hair and pulled her along the sidewalk by her arm. She believed her shoulder may have been dislocated. She was taken to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center for evaluation and treatment.
