‘Justice belongs to everyone.’ Warner Robins man gets 12 years for beating homeless woman
A Warner Robins man admitted to beating a 65-year-old homeless woman and was sentenced to serve 12 years in prison, Houston County District Attorney Eric Edwards said Friday afternoon.
Christopher Davis, 40, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and exploitation and intimidation of an elderly person on Thursday. The charges stem from when he approached a 65-year-old homeless woman in a public area and beat her in October last year, Edwards said. He faced kidnapping with bodily injury and other aggravated assault charges, but those were dismissed as part of a plea deal. He was indicted Nov. 12.
Houston County Superior Court Judge G.E. Bo Adams sentenced him to 12 years in prison, with an additional 13 years to be served on probation.
Davis initially approached the woman just after midnight on Oct. 18, 2024, and yelled profanities and threatening language to her. He walked away for a couple of minutes. But he then came back, struck her with his hands and feet and hit her with a metal pole, Edwards said.
She was found a few hours later by a concerned citizen. Law enforcement and medical personnel were called, Edwards said.
“This case is a reminder that justice belongs to everyone, regardless of their circumstances,” said Edwards. “No one should have to endure the kind of senseless violence that the victim in this case endured, and our office will continue to hold accountable those who prey on the most vulnerable members of society.”
