An Oxford man was arrested for battery after allegedly punching his ex-girlfriend in the parking lot of Planet Fitness during an argument.
The ex-girlfriend of 75-year-old Leland Jeffery Basey asked law enforcement to meet her at Denny’s, located at 1577 Bella Cruz Drive, The Villages, at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to an arrest report from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. She advised that Basey had busted her lip outside Planet Fitness, located at 17950 S U.S. Hwy. 441, Summerfield.
She explained that she had been living with Basey in his Hyundai Sonata in the parking lot of Planet Fitness for the past couple of weeks. They had lived together for about eight years in an intimate relationship but broke up for two years. They were now in a situation where they lived together yet were not dating, the report said.
The pair got into an argument in the Planet Fitness parking lot when Basey confronted the ex-girlfriend about cheating on him in the past. During the altercation, he punched her in the mouth and busted her lip. She then got out of his car and left on foot, the report said…
