Feb. 20 Battery (Osprey Landing) – An officer met with the room resident and her boyfriend, the victim. The room resident said the victim had been in an argument with the suspect, who was visiting the room. The suspect asked the resident for her number, and the victim became angry because the suspect had asked for his girlfriend’s number, and he suggested the suspect leave. The victim and the suspect then began to argue, and the suspect started to hit the victim with a closed fist in the face and head. The two separated, and the suspect left the room. The victim said his head began to bleed following the altercation, so he went to the hospital and had a laceration sutured. The victim said he had not reported the battery to the hospital, causing the delay in reporting it to UPD, because he did not want to make it an issue. The officer then contacted two UNF students who had also been in the room at the time of the argument. The first student said he did not see how the fight started but admitted there was alcohol in the room. The second student said he did not see who instigated the incident, but he thought the suspect caused everything. No other persons involved are residents or students at UNF.
