A Village of Belle Aire woman was arrested after a battle over a bottle of vodka.
Nanette Reneau, 60, who lives at 3321 Bedford Way, is facing a charge of battery following her arrest Thursday by Sumter County sheriff’s deputies.
When deputies arrived at the residence, a man showed them a bleeding abrasion on his right forearm. He said he had been arguing with Reneau, who grabbed a bottle of vodka and went into a bedroom, according to the arrest report. The man feared that due to Reneau’s past drinking history, she would consume the entire bottle. He removed the door lock handle to prevent Reneau from locking herself in the bedroom. He took the bottle of vodka from her and went to another bedroom. She followed him and tried to reach in and hit him on the arm, the arrest report said. He said Reneau tried to pull the door shut on his arm.
Reneau was “uncooperative” when a deputy attempted to speak with her.
She was taken into custody and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center where she was initially held without bond. After a first appearance in court, her bond was set at $500.
