A 51-year-old man was arrested Wednesday night after he allegedly struck his ex-girlfriend and knocked off her glasses.
Steven Joseph Hamel was arrested on a charge of domestic battery by Lake County sheriff’s deputies after they received a 911 hangup call from his residence on Eagles Nest Road.
The deputies discovered that Hamel had been convicted of simple battery in 2002.
He was booked on $5,000 bond at the Lake County Jail. He is due for arraignment July 27 in Lake County Court.
