A man was arrested after he allegedly “bashed” a woman’s head into a tree stump because she woke him up on her way to the bathroom, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
Eric Barr was arrested and charged with domestic aggravated battery after the incident that unfolded Friday at the Silver Springs State Park campsite, according to an arrest affidavit.
Deputies on routine patrol in the area were dispatched regarding a verbal disturbance and possible battery. When a deputy arrived, he found the victim “extremely shaken up” with spots of blood on her hands, arms and legs, the report said. She said she was in an argument with Barr, adding that they had been drinking and she “woke him up.”
She pointed to the back of her head, which was covered in soaking wet blood, deputies said. They immediately requested emergency medical services.
Deputies found a log on the ground that had blood on it next to a bottle of liquor.
