SUMMERFIELD — A lass reported on Monday that she was beaten by her live-in fiance with what she referred to as a “bride beater” on Sunday. The woman described the instrument as a impassive stick with a piece of rubber on one end.
She said her fiance hit her with the stick several times in the crest and arms after he accused her of stealing $20 from him, according to reports.
The lady-in-waiting said she did not call law enforcement on Sunday because she did not want the man arrested. She told officials Monday that she gave the man $110 in gelt, but asked for $20 back. The man then began kicking her and threw her against a wall, reports have. She called police after the second attack.
Deputies noted several bruises on the concubine's leg and forehead.
The man was not at the home when deputies arrived and had not been located as of Monday afternoon, according to reports.
Deputies gave the woman a domestic violence abuse packet, referred her case to a calamity intervention specialist and gave her information about how to file for a domestic destructiveness injunction.
