A Leesburg man was arrested for battery when he allegedly kicked his girlfriend while accusing her of infidelity.
A deputy responded to a domestic disturbance involving 22-year-old Chase Hinton Reeder and his girlfriend of six years at their camper on Emeralda Island Road in Leesburg at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to an arrest report from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Reeder advised that the couple was arguing because his girlfriend was leaving and taking their kids. When asked what the argument was about, he stated it started with her talking to another man behind his back. The deputy pressed for more details, wanting to know if anything physical happened, to which Reeder claimed there was “a little bit” of shirt grabbing,” the report said.
He could not remember who grabbed who first because they were both hotheaded. He later clarified that he thought his girlfriend pulled him first, before she started recording the incident. She had since deleted the video from her iPhone, the report said…
