The man had an active trespass warning for the property. He was issued a trespass warning for a "property other than (a) structure."



Woman says boyfriend tried to choke her

CRESTVIEW — A woman told authorities her "on and off" boyfriend tried to strangle her during an argument about Christmas presents for each of their children.

She told deputies she and a 33-year-old Alabama man had been in a relationship at various points for the last 18 years.

Their most recent stint lasted three years, she said.

She had clear physical signs of attempted strangulation, the deputy noted in the man’s Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office arrest report.

She had also been hit in the face, the report said.

During the altercation, he forcibly had sex with her against her will, the report said.

He denied it initially, telling authorities he hadn't sex with her. When they pointed out there would be DNA evidence, he changed his story and said it was consensual.

He was charged with domestic battery by strangulation and sexual battery.

The Daily News did not name the suspect to protect the identity of the victim.



Foul-mouthed man busted at theater

DESTIN — A man who dropped the F-bomb multiple times while screaming at a theater manager was arrested after he refused to leave the property.

The man, who is 35 years old and lives in Freeport, was at the theater in Destin Commons where he began screaming “(redacted) YOU!” at the theater manager. The manager asked him several times to leave but he refused.

Eventually the deputy tried to take the man into custody but he jerked away and started running. The deputy caught him and handcuffed him.

He was charged with trespassing and obstruction without violence. His court date is Jan. 5.
