A Pensacola woman allegedly hit her ex-boyfriend, who she knew had suffered a previous brain injury, with a baseball bat, leaving a visible dent in the back of his head.

Barbara Little, 42, was arrested Sunday and charged with aggravated battery.

According to her arrest report, an Escambia County Sheriff's Office deputy responded to a disturbance complaint Sunday at Little’s residence on Cedar Creek Drive. There, a man told the deputy that Little had hit him with a baseball bat.

The deputy observed the man stagger when walking, pass in and out of consciousness during an interview with law enforcement and “appear to have a dent on the back side of his head,” the report stated.

Before EMS arrived to trauma alert the man to Baptist Hospital, he managed to tell deputies what happened.

The man said Little and her son had been arguing sometime before 6:30 p.m., and that he had stepped in between them to subdue the exchange, the report stated.

Little’s son left the room, taking an infant with him. The man said he attempted to speak with Little, but she went into her bedroom and slammed the door in his face. The man admitted to law enforcement that he punched the door, causing it to open, the report stated.

The deputy observed a small cut on the man’s hand.

The man said he walked through the door and into Little’s bedroom, and she hit him in the head with a baseball bat.

Little told the deputy that the man followed her into her room, pushed her into a closet, got on top of her, beat her face with his fists and tore her shirt off her body, the report stated. The deputy did obverse a ripped T-shirt in Little’s room, but he saw no sign of injury on Little’s face.

In Little’s arrest report, the deputy wrote that Little “had no injuries or witnesses to justify using the bat for protection.”

A female cohabitant of the residence told the deputy she witnessed Little and the man drinking liquor from a bottle prior to the fight.

After the altercation, the witness said she heard the man ask Little why she hit him with the baseball bat and Little replied, “I was trying to kill your ass.”

Little was booked into the Escambia County Jail at 7:53 p.m. Sunday with a $5,000 bond. Little remained in custody as of Thursday afternoon.
