Paul Holman

An 89-year-old Villager was arrested in an alleged attack on his wife at an assisted living facility.

Paul Cameron Holman, who owns a home in the Village of Sunset Pointe, was arrested Monday night at Trinity Springs Assisted Living in Oxford, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department.

Management at the facility contacted law enforcement after Holman’s wife of 14 years suffered an injury that required medical attention from the nursing staff.

She told police that Holman was angry with her because she left for a few days due to him “being verbally abusive with her,” the report said. When she returned to their apartment on Sunday, he began yelling at her for “leaving without telling him.” He pushed her, causing her to fall and suffering a cut on her left leg below the knee.   

Holman was arrested on a charge of battery and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center. Bond was set at $2,000.
