Jealous ex shatters new boyfriend’s windshield
Brian Jason Langford, 54, of Lake Butler, was arrested by Union deputies on October 13 for criminal mischief over $200 and under $1,000.
According to an arrest report filed by Deputy Clyde N. Barringer, the complainant contacted dispatch to report that her ex-boyfriend, Langford, had arrived uninvited and was attempting to force open the front door while yelling obscenities.
While deputies were en route, the victim updated dispatch that Langford had shattered a vehicle window and fled the scene.
Barringer reported that he spotted a blue SUV matching the description of the defendant’s vehicle near the intersection of State Road 238 and County Road 239. He conducted a traffic stop and identified the driver as Langford.
During questioning, Langford admitted to having just left his ex’s house, stating he was upset because she had “another man” there. He denied any physical contact, saying, “I didn’t lay a hand on her or anything else!”
Langford was detained and placed in a patrol vehicle while the deputy proceeded to the residence to interview the victim.
The 911 caller told the deputy that Langford, angered by her new relationship, had banged on the door and tried unsuccessfully to open it before damaging the vehicle.
She added that Langford used an unknown object to shatter the front windshield of a silver Ford sedan parked at the home.
The deputy observed the damage, noting the windshield was shattered on the passenger side. The vehicle’s owner, the victim’s new boyfriend, confirmed he wished to press charges and provided a sworn statement. He estimated the repair cost at $400.
Neither the woman nor her boyfriend directly witnessed the vandalism, but the woman’s daughter reported seeing Langford strike the windshield through a window of the residence and hearing a breaking sound. The witnesses stated they had just arrived home moments before the incident, and the windshield was intact at that time. After Langford left, they discovered the damage.
Stuck his fingers down her throat
Mario Magdaleno Molina, 52, of Raiford, was arrested by Union deputies on October 14 for domestic battery by strangulation and battery.
According to an arrest report, the incident began when a neighbor contacted dispatch, reporting sounds of a woman screaming and what appeared to be repeated physical strikes.
Deputy Lowell A. Green responded to the scene, where he found Molina seated in a white Chevrolet pickup parked at the end of the driveway.
When questioned, Molina claimed he had a verbal argument with the victim and had moved to the truck to avoid further conflict. He denied any physical altercation, stating that the victim’s yelling often prompted neighbor complaints.
However, another deputy, who made initial contact with the victim, reported visible injuries, prompting Green to detain Molina in handcuffs and place him in a patrol vehicle.
Green wrote that inside the residence, he found the victim visibly shaken, apologizing repeatedly for the police response.
The deputy observed signs of a struggle, including a broken glass pickle jar and scattered beer cans. The victim had scratch marks on her back, chest, neck, right cheek, and left hand, which were photographed for evidence. She declined EMS evaluation.
The victim recounted that she had driven Molina to a job site in Lake Butler earlier that evening. Upon returning home, Molina, after consuming alcohol, began yelling and accusing her of infidelity. She stated that he grabbed her arm, struck her multiple times, and later, when she went outside to check on him, he approached her aggressively again. During this second encounter, Molina allegedly shoved his fingers down her throat, preventing her from speaking or breathing. The victim admitted to striking Molina in self-defense, citing his larger size.
