A Fayetteville man was arrested over the weekend for assaulting his girlfriend during a party in south Fayette County on May 23, sheriff’s officials said. Shane Kieran Blake, 21, of Watershed Way is accused of pushing the victim to the ground and then kicking her in the jaw, officials said. As a result of the assault the victim’s jaw was broken, according to Lt. Belinda McCastle of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office. The altercation began at the party after Blake began kissing other women, leading his girlfriend to slap him, McCastle said. The fight escalated from there as Blake pushed the victim off the porch before kicking her in the jaw, McCastle said. The incident wasn’t reported to deputies until June 24, and the victim was advised because of the delay she could apply for an arrest warrant with the Fayette County Magistrate’s Office, which ultimately approved the charges. Blake is charged with aggravated battery in connection with the incident. login to post comments |
