STARKE— Bradford deputies arrested a 39-year-old Brooker man after he fought his girlfriend over a child.
Chace Jeremy Beville was arrested on April 23 for domestic battery.
According to an arrest report, the victim told Deputy Sheriff Anthony Drew that she and the defendant were involved in a verbal disagreement.
“(The victim) stated that Chace pushed her to the ground and grabbed her by the neck and hair and dragged her across the porch,” Drew wrote in the report. “(The victim) stated that he assaulted her so that he could have (the child).”
The deputy added that emergency medical services evaluated the woman.
Drew wrote that he found Beville seated in a nearby pickup with the child on his lap.
“Chace stated that he was having a hard time with (the victim) but did not state that he had hit her,” reported Drew.
The officer added that after ordering Beville out of the truck, the man refused. However, after Drew displayed his taser, the 39-year-old Brooker man complied and was transported to the county jail.
