A 911 dispatcher calmly gathered details from the Deltona woman who claimed she was just attacked by her 500-pound boyfriend — a belligerent man deputies later said was simply too big to fit into a patrol car. 
 
 "He is drunk and he is just acting crazy,'' the woman said before the dispatcher asked for a description of Howard Hendrix's clothing. 
 
 "Right now, he's not wearing anything,'' the woman said Sunday from the house she rents on Jutland Street on Sunday. 
 
 "He's nude?" the dispatcher asked. 
 
 "Yes."

 Hendrix, 45, of Apopka was in the bathroom, freshly showered and naked, when a deputy arrived. 
 
 He agreed to the officer's request to put his clothes on. 
 
 But then Hendrix began throwing his weight around — again, a report says. 
 
 Deputies cuffed him but Hendrix resisted, refusing to walk out the house and falling to the ground, forcing a deputy to drag him out of the house. He also kicked a deputy, a report says. 
 
 "Hendrix was [too] large to put in a patrol vehicle,'' a deputy wrote in a report. 
 
 A prisoner transport van was called in and used to take Hendrix to the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach, said Gary Davidson, a spokesman for the Volusia County Sheriff's Office. 
 
 Hendrix is accused of attacking the 42-year-old woman, including poking her in the chest, slapping her in the face and shoulder and spitting in her face. 
 
 He also punched a hole in a wall and destroyed a chair, she said in her 911 call. 
 
 Hendrix was charged with simple battery (dating violence). 
 
 He also was charged with criminal mischief, battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest without violence. 
 
 kconnolly@tribune.com ||||| TAVERNIER (CBSMiami) – A woman who officials said got into a violent fight with a Monroe County Sheriff’s deputy was arrested early Monday morning. 
 
 According to officials, 33-year-old Sara Henderson was being arrested for disorderly intoxication when she began attacking Deputy Michael Claudy. 
 
 The deputy said he saw two women in an altercation at the Circle K by the 92 mile marker and he tried to separate them. Henderson refused to calm down, authorities said. 
 
 Henderson continued to yell and the deputy said she began to fight him as he tried to arrest her. 
 
 Deputy Claudy said Henderson managed to knock his microphone off of him preventing him from calling for back-up. 
 
 She was sprayed with pepper spray, but Deputy Claudy said she wiped her face and then put her hands on him wiping the spray on his face so he could not see. 
 
 Deputy Claudy was able to reach for his microphone, call for help and hold Henderson down until other officers arrived. 
 
 Henderson reportedly told emergency room staff at Mariner’s Hospital that she purposely rubbed the pepper spray into Deputy Claudy’s eyes. 
 
 Claudy sustained an injury to one of his eyes that will require follow-up treatment. 
 
 Henderson was charged with disorderly intoxication, battery on a law enforcement officer, depriving an officer of his means of communication and resisting arrest with violence.

– A Florida fisherman may have let a big one get away, but local sheriff's deputies sure didn't. Action News Jax reports a man says he was fishing Tuesday evening in St. Augustine when a drunk woman swam up, cursed at him, bit his fishing line, and swam away with his lure. Deputies say the woman—22-year-old Alexandria Turner—was belligerent when they arrived and refused to be put in handcuffs. They say Turner was upsetting the "sense of public norm at the pier," repeatedly yelling, "I'm [expletive] naked." WDBO notes Turner was, in fact, wearing a bathing suit at the time. She was booked on suspicion of disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest, and the fisherman was left with one hell of a fish story.
