A 77-year-old man was arrested Thursday morning after an alleged attack on a woman in the Village of Pinellas.
The woman called 911 at around 9:45 a.m. after she was shoved up against the kitchen sink by Harold Vincent Floody at their home on Apache Court, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office. The woman had been cooking in the kitchen and Floody wanted her to come back to bed, the report indicated.
After he shoved her against the sink, he grabbed her by the wrists. When deputies arrived on the scene, the woman was leaving the house and said, “You shouldn’t have done that. “
Floody reportedly told the woman to, “Shut up and get into the house.”
The woman told deputies that Floody “has been getting more aggressive towards her as his drinking has increased,” the report said.
He was arrested on a charge of battery and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center where he initially was held without bond.
