MOORE HAVEN, FL. -- David Cengiz Telci, of Moore Haven, was adjudicated guilty and sentenced to 15 years in prison, the maximum sentence under the law, for one count of Aggravated Battery. It is a mandatory 15-year sentence. He was also designated as a Prison Releasee Reoffender.
He was sentenced after being convicted, following a one-day jury trial in Glades County. Assistant State Attorney Evan Chaput prosecuted the case
The defendant was incarcerated at the time of the crime at the Moore Haven Correctional Facility when he attacked another inmate. In April 2025, the defendant approached the victim in the prison bay and wanted his commissary. When the victim refused, the defendant pulled out a shiv, a self-made weapon, which was a toothbrush with a metal blade attached. He sliced the victim multiple times.
Prison guards took the victim to get emergency care in the medical area of the prison and the defendant was detained.
Under Florida law, certain crimes, such as aggravated battery, committed while a person is serving a prison sentence, qualifies them as a Prison Releasee Reoffender.
