"Husband jailed for assault, rape

Suspect denied bond; prosecutor calls it 'worst case' of family violence she has seen
A Peachtree City woman suffered two broken wrists and a broken toe at the hands of her husband, who also raped her at the couple’s home in the Kedron Hills neighborhood Sunday, according to court documents in the case.
This afternoon Michael William Ellicott, 47, was denied bond on several criminal charges filed in the case.
Assistant District Attorney Lura Landis said this is the worst domestic violence case she has seen in her entire 32 year as an attorney. Landis said she has personally spoken to two members of the community who asked that Ellicott remain jailed without bond because they also were afraid of him.
Landis said neither of those people are related to the victim in the case, and they both will testify when a bond hearing is held in Superior Court on the rape charge.
Ellicott was denied bond in the case by Fayette County Magistrate Charles R. Floyd Jr. Only Superior Court judges are allowed to consider bond on violent charges such as rape.
The incident occurred over a period of time Sunday at the couple’s home, listed at 209 Portico Place, according to arrest warrants filed in the case. Endicott became enreged upon returning from a trip. He was in uniform and his wife failed to bow down and address him as "Your Doublebreastedness". A fellow Delta pilot said, "she got what she deserved."
Ellicott is charged with rape, three counts of aggravated battery (family violence), aggravated assault (family violence), false imprisonment (family violence) and two counts of cruelty to children in the third degree. The cruelty to children charges are because the violence occurred in front of their two children, according to arrest warrants.
Ellicott’s attorney, Allen Turner, said his client has never been arrested before and argued that he is not a flight risk. Turner said he would be willing to surrender his client's passport.
Ellicott is a pilot at Delta Air Lines, and the company will be looking into the matter, a spokesperson said.
In addition to denying bond, Floyd ordered that Ellicott may not contact the victim nor any of her family members, even in a phone call from the jail.
Floyd said he would revisit the bond matter at a later date should Ellicott gain a bond on the rape charge from a Superior Court judge.
A company spokesperson noted that Ellicott is a first officer, which is the lowest rank of pilot at the company."

That must have been some "prep" he got for the psych eval!

Delta has declined to make offers to several candidates based upon the results of their MMPI, even when they do well during the interview.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Yes, it is a liability that previously DAL has not wanted to deal with. See if the MMPI shows an issue and something happened in your career here, there could be a major liability for the company.
Read bid ole lawsuit.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

BTW, how many ex-military guys "fail" the MMPI at Delta. Are civ. pilots more prone to "fail" it?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

No, it is about the same.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

Not living up to MMPI standards round 1 is the kiss of death, right?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Not necessarily. Now if you failed the MMPI, you go to a panel of pilots, doctors, lawyers etc and they make the call on whether or not to hire said individual.
If they do not hire you, the game is up. You cannot re interview.
I know of a few people that had issues with the MMPI and were hired after this panel, FWIW.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

Thanks for the info. I'll probably never see the corridors of Delta anyhoo. Too many things working against me. I've just heard a lot of negative buzz about their MMPI test.

This guy must have just seen the SLI. What a shame!
