Do Wife Beaters Ever Learn?

Some say once an abuser, always an abuser. Or is it more truthful to say once violent, always violent? We believe individuals can be reformed if they want to be. Apparently John Milton Littrell doesn't want to be.

Remember John Milton Littrell? Eight years ago he made our blog for violently assaulting his girlfriend and then leading police on a two county chase. Now the 58 year-old Leighton resident is at it again.

Last week he was arrested for Domestic Violence, Disorderly Conduct, and Resisting Arrest in Colbert County. After posting bond, Littrell was immediately given quite a special escort to Lauderdale County where he was wanted in Florence for Failure to Pay in more minor cases.

This is Littrell's third known violent assault in the Shoals, although the first two happened in 2011. At least he appears to have controlled himself for eight years; we're sure that's little comfort to his latest victim.
