Woman tells ex-boyfriend to move out and he uses urn to attack her, Florida cops say

A decorative urn became a dangerous weapon when it sailed across a bedroom and hit a woman in the back of the head, Florida investigators say.

Her ex-boyfriend “was the only one in the room with her,” according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

By process of elimination, he was arrested Monday, July 15, on a charge of aggravated battery on a person using a deadly weapon, officials say.

The attack occurred June 28 at a home in Summerfield, when the woman told the suspect his “ex-boyfriend” status meant he needed to move out, an affidavit reports. Summerfield is about a 60-mile drive northwest from Orlando.

“The victim advised (they) ... recently broke up but he still continued to live with her,” the report states. “She and the suspect argued in her bedroom about him having to eventually leave.”

That’s when the urn smacked her from behind, as she was laying down on a bed, and the impact was enough to cause bruising, authorities said.

The woman’s son told authorities he heard a sound come from his mom’s bedroom, and it sounded like “someone getting hit with (an) object, according to the sheriff’s office.

The suspect was gone by the time deputies arrived. It wasn’t until July 15 that the 55-year-old man was found and arrested, records show.
