Vero Beach police about 1 p.m. went to McGuffey’s listed address for a disturbance. McGuffey held a wooden stick in an “aggressive stance.”

McGuffey’s roommate told investigators “the reason for the disturbance was because McGuffey was upset with him for drinking his milk out of his glass cup.”

McGuffey and the roommate looked intoxicated, police reported. They agreed to keep their distance from each other.

Not long after that, police were sent back to the McGuffey home.

This time McGuffey’s roommate had a big cut over his left eyebrow. The roommate said that after police left McGuffey “came at him” with the stick and hit him in the head.

“(The roommate) stated that it was over the initial argument about drinking the defendant’s milk and using his glass cup,” the affidavit states.

The roommate said he was locked out and McGuffey wouldn’t come to the door. He declined to prosecute.

About 1:45 p.m., police again were summoned to the McGuffey abode.

The roommate said McGuffey kept bothering him, calling him a vulgar term for female genitalia.

McGuffey was arrested and taken to jail.

It wasn’t immediately clear what happened to the glass cup.
