He went too far
In July of 2018, Browner broke into his former girlfriend’s apartment. Upon escaping from her apartment, Browner dragged her back inside, where he began shoving her face into the carpet while smothering her. Next, he shoved her to the couch, threatening to kick her teeth out if she didn’t comply.
Finally, he informed her that if the cops show up, he will kill her before he goes to jail. Worst of all, this was happening in front of the ex-girlfriend’s two young kids.
This was the same ex-girlfriend who filed for a restraining order against Browner because he threatened to kill her. According to the Washington Post, her statement included this gem. “Physically, he has given me several black eyes. He has assaulted me and given me a broken tailbone, busted my eardrum. … I don’t feel safe leaving my children with him.” The court didn’t issue a permanent order.
Serving time
California inmate BL7078 or Brandon Browner is serving the remainder of his eight-year sentence at Wasco State Prison. His sentence, handed down in December 2018, is for attempted murder and two misdemeanor counts of child cruelty.
It’s mine and others’ hope that spending eight years in prison reforms inmate BL7078 and that he continues to get the help he really needs. This story is sad, but the ending remains unwritten. Time will tell if inmate BL7078 changs for the better.
