A Leesburg woman was arrested for battery after allegedly hitting her boyfriend on the head with a golf club over claims of cheating.
Officers responded to a battery at an undisclosed Leesburg residence around 5:10 p.m. Tuesday, according to an arrest report from the Leesburg Police Department. Upon arrival, they met with the boyfriend of 36-year-old ITB.
He advised that he had been dating B for five years, and she lived with him. He did not want to talk about what happened because she would go to jail. Still, the officers saw a red mark on his forehead, and he mentioned having golf clubs outside. He was unsure which one was used in the incident and was unwilling to help in the investigation, the report said.
The officers instead spoke to an independent witness who stated B came to the residence, got out of her vehicle and started yelling that her boyfriend was cheating on her. She hit his vehicle with a golf club before he came outside. She then hit him on the head with the golf club. Her boyfriend tried to grab it from her, but they struggled and fell to the ground together, the report said.
When talking to B, she advised that she came to the residence upset because she learned her boyfriend cheated on her the night before. She had a golf club but said she did not hit him with it. Instead, he approached her, she slapped him and then he dived at her, the report said.
B sustained a scratch on her right arm from the altercation. EMS came to the scene to assess her arm, but she refused treatment, the report said.
B was subsequently arrested on charge of aggravated battery with deadly weapon (domestic). She was transported to Lake County Jail to be held without bond.
