BELLEVIEW, Fla. (CohenConnect) – This unusual case ended with both the victim and suspect battered, and the suspect’s booking photo – showing a “laceration to his forehead” – was the latest of dozens taken by four law enforcement agencies over the decades.
“Upon arrival,” a police officer wrote, “I located the suspect to be lying down on the grass.”
In fact, Walter William Frymire would remain there, outside a pawn shop in Florida, until the victim of the “physical altercation” told his side of the story.
At about 4:30 a.m. on Sept. 3, “Dispatch advised that the suspect of the battery has a laceration on his forehead and is a [man] with no shirt.”
According to Frymire’s arrest report, the victim told the officer, “Walter had scared one of his female employees and advised [sic] there’s a [man] bleeding from his forehead.
“[The victim] advised he went to go speak with the male to see if he needed any assistance.
“[The victim] advised that Walter had postured up in a fighting position and had spit at him.
