Law enforcement called to local ER after woman suffers fractured vertebra in attack 

Rocky Colon

A woman reportedly suffered a fractured vertebra after an attack by her jealous boyfriend at their home in Lady Lake.

Lady Lake police responded Thursday to the Summerfield ER operated by Ocala Health where a woman described an attack by her boyfriend, 27-year-old Rocky Colon, two days earlier at their home in the 200 block of West McClendon Street.

Colon had accused the woman of cheating on him with one of her clients for whom she cleans.

Colon and the woman had been in bed when he thought he heard her talking in her sleep, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. He began questioning her in an angry tone.

The woman got up to walk away and was struck in the center of the back.

She and Colon have been living together for three weeks.

Colon was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery and booked at the Lake County Jail. Bond was set at $4,000.

In 2014, Colon was arrested in a sting operation by the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.
