A man was arrested after a woman placed a 911 call from the Lake Sumter Apartments.
Sumter County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday to the apartment complex at County Road 466 and Cherry Lake Road after 35-year-old Bryan James Myers of Lady Lake began “yelling and cursing” at a woman and threatened to hurt her, according to an arrest report. He grabbed the woman by her arm and began squeezing and shaking it. He refused to stop when the woman asked him to do so, the report indicated. The woman was able to call 911. There was a witness to the attack.
Myers had previously been arrested on a charge of battery in 2020 in Lake County, elevating the most recent arrest to a felony charge.
He was taken into custody on a charge of battery and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center on $1,000 bond.
