9 Investigates: Sanford murder suspect's violent history

9 Investigates dug through murder suspect Allen Cashe’s violent history against women, including domestic violence cases involving two other alleged victims within the last seven years.

Seven years ago this week, Cashe was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence after he allegedly "backhanded" a woman he had been dating on and off for 5-6 years.

He was put on GPS monitoring after that incident, but less than a month later, he was accused of threatening two apparent family members with a gun.

The victim told investigators that Cashe stated, “If I wasn’t on county GPS, I would pull the trigger and kill both of you.”

In 2012, Cashe was accused of taking a baseball bat to another woman’s car during an argument.

Three days after that incident, he was arrested after the children of the woman from the 2010 domestic violence case watched him hit her "in the back of her head with a fist" and then "punched her in the face."
He was sentenced to 180 days in jail, but only served 12 after getting credit for time served while awaiting trial.

In 2013, witnesses watched a different woman being "slammed into the hood of a car"and "punched in the face several times."

That case was thrown out after the victim wrote a letter requesting his charges be dropped.
The letter stated, "I provoked him by hitting him first … . He is not a threat to me."

9 Investigates learned of allegations that Cashe may have made comments about an even more heinous crime.

In 2014, a man told investigators Cashe robbed him at gunpoint at the intersection of Celery and Beardall avenues in Sanford.

The victim alleged Cashe told him he "was going to be No. 2 under his belt," and "I’m going to kill you just like I killed Willie Posley."

The victim in the robbery was able to run away, into the woods where a man named Willie Posley was found shot earlier in 2014.

Deputies do not have a suspect identified in the Posley slaying, which is still open, and investigators could not say if Cashe was ever considered a suspect in that case.

In addition to the criminal cases, 9 Investigates found three injunction filings against Cashe, including two filed by either his mother or his mother’s boyfriend.

Those were denied by judges.
