A Villager was arrested after an alleged attack on his lady friend at Spanish Springs.
A witness was in the vicinity of the parking lot behind Flippers Pizza at about 8 p.m. Tuesday when she witnessed a man, later identified as 49-year-old Jimmy Drury of the Historic Side of The Villages, arguing with a woman, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department.
The witness said Drury’s lady friend was trying to get into her car and close the driver’s door when Drury rushed the car, raised his fist “well above the driver’s door, and then came down striking the victim.” The woman began yelling and hit Drury in the back. He “took two steps back and slapped” the woman.
Drury’s lady friend told police that the argument stemmed from the fact that Drury had been speaking to another woman. Drury and his lady friend have been involved in “an intimate relationship on again off again for two years,” the report noted. She told police that Drury “had been drinking all day and was highly intoxicated.”…
