A Beaumont man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. The same Jefferson County jury
that sentenced 38-year old Jeremy Pierre Spencer had convicted him on a charge of aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon. Spencer was arrested in April of 2015 for stabbing his estranged
wife and her mother. Spencer was found hiding in an abandoned apartment the day after the
stabbings. There had been multiple prior incidents of family violence between Spencer and his
estranged wife.
