Gary Eliot Green is charged with domestic battery and domestic assault with intent to commit a felony.

On Tuesday, the victim told a a Marion County Sheriff’s deputy that Green beat her on Feb. 17.

She said the trouble started when they were eating at a restaurant and she was talking about her previous relationship. She said he called her names. At home later, the woman said Green pushed her, pulled her hair, punched her several times and knocked her to the floor, according to an arrest report.

The deputy noted the woman had multiple bruises on her face and chest and her forehead was swollen. The next day, she said, she went to the hospital but was unable to report the incident because he was with her.

On Monday, the woman said, Green pointed a .357 Magnum revolver at her forehead and told her she and her family need to die. She left the home and reported the incident on Tuesday.

According to the report, Green told the deputy he got physical with the woman, slapped her and then blacked out. Asked about the gun incident, Green told the deputy he should not have done that and the victim was probably scared of him.

He was arrested after the interview with the deputy.
