Florence, South Carolina – According to records, a Florence man is free on bond after being charged in three different instances, including assaults.
Michael DiWayne Robinson was released on bond Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Florence Police Department, Robinson has been charged with pointing and displaying a handgun, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, assault and battery, petty larceny, and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
Officers said they were summoned to the 700 block of Darlington Street on September 11th, last year, in response to an assault report.
According to authorities, a victim was found who showed symptoms of injury and said Robinson had attacked her.
According to the arrest request, Robinson allegedly choked the victim’s throat before hitting her on the left side of her face three to four times with a closed hand.

He could not be found at that time.
According to the FPD, officers responded to the 700 block of Oakland Ave in May of this year to investigate a probable assault.
Officers claimed they spoke with a victim who is a relative of Robinson and stated that he threatened her and put a gun to her face before fleeing the scene.

On Tuesday, October 7, an officer reported seeing Robinson sitting in a vehicle in the 1400 block of Reed Court.
