Prosecutors: Daytona Beach man on probation sentenced to 3 life terms after stabbing

A Daytona Beach man was sentenced to three life terms plus 30 years in prison after he was found in violation of probation related to accusations he stabbed a woman, according to the State Attorney’s Office.

Sherman Lamar Doughtry, 45, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon Dec. 22 after he stabbed his wife twice in the head and once in the left arm as she tried to protect herself, according to prosecutors and court records. He was also charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a child. That case remains open.

Doughtry and his wife were in a “verbal altercation” when she warned him she would call the police. Doughtry then said, “I will kill all of you if you call the police,” an affidavit stated.

Doughtry was already on probation after serving about 13 years of a 17-year prison sentence for two counts of kidnapping with a victim under 13, aggravated child abuse, burglary with assault or battery, and felony arson of a dwelling.

Daytona Beach Police investigated the case and Doughtry was prosecuted by Assistant State Attorney Sarah Thomas. Circuit Judge Leah Case presided.

State Attorney R.J. Larizza said everyone was fortunate that Doughtry would be unable to commit any further acts of violence.

“Three life sentences plus 30 years highlights the vicious and violent nature of the defendant,” Larizza stated in the release.
