Breaking 911: FLORIDA — A 28-year-old DeLand woman was treated for injuries Friday night and her live-in boyfriend is in custody after she was beaten Wednesday and threatened at gunpoint, preventing her from leaving their home for two days.
After spending all day Thursday in bed due to a head injury, finally Friday afternoon the woman convinced her boyfriend to let her bring their dog to DeLand Animal Hospital — he insisted on accompanying her, armed with a loaded handgun.
At the veterinary hospital, the woman managed to alert authorities by slipping a note to a vet staff member that said: “Call the cops. My boyfriend is threatening me. He has a gun. Please don’t let him know.” more here
Article didn’t say, but I got twenty says the dog was a pit bull.
The cops are armed babysitters, and she will probably go back to him.
Now this one is really close to home, happened only one mile from my house. Florida-duh stuff happens in this formerly quaint little village, too.
Gee, if they could only pass some law that would make it illegal for felons to possess a firearm or ammunition, this would never have happened!

Please, woman. Don’t go back to him. You deserve so much better. Have some self-respect.
Fortunately, her vet wasn’t the type who couldn’t figure out how the dog wrote the note…
Lady- I can’t believe how many laws he broke. No bail, too. That really puts things into perspective. I’m surprised how someone can go as far as this brave one went to get away and still go back.
