Charges may be pending against a boyfriend accused of slapping his girlfriend so hard she fell to the floor Thursday at her apartment, a Murfreesboro Police officer reported.

The victim, 18, of South Rutherford Boulevard, reported her boyfriend broke her dresser, threw her clothes into a pile and cursed her, Officer Terry Spence reported.

“He came back into the living room, grabbed her by the back of her hair and slammed her head into a 2-foot by 2-foot picture frame and broke out the glass plate, broke the wooden frame and damaged her grandmother’s pictures,” Spence reported.

When she threatened to call police, he told her conditions would worsen. He choked her against the wall, called her names and told her he hoped she would die. He spit in her face and threw a bottle of orange juice at her.

He retrieved his guitar and amp before leaving.

Police collected evidence and photographed the damage in her apartment. Officers advised her about seeking shelter elsewhere but she said she felt safe.

“(The victim) stated she would think about getting an warrant (but) she did love him,” Spence reported.

Domestic violence detectives were expected to talk with the victim about her options.

Are you serious.. She loves him! get rid the that POS now before he does kill you! obviously he does not feel the same!
Why put the vic's name in the computer and not the one who beat her up? Doesn't sound very fair!

Confused is right on both counts. He does NOT love the girl...he is only thinking of himself. And, unless he is under age and she could be charged with statutory rape then why was the suspect's name not listed?!?

Amelia, if you're reading this, please know that you are not the only one this has ever happened to and, unfortunately, you won't be the last. It happened to me but I finally wised up and got out. Oh, yeah, I loved him...but I decided I loved ME more. I hope you come to that same conclusion soon or it could be too late! I'd hate to read your obituary in the paper because this jerk 'loved you to DEATH'!

I hope she listens to those domestic violence people. She is not thinking rationally. The next time she could end up on slab in the morgue. There are many assets out there to help someone in caught up in a situation like this. If he did it once, he will do it again. Leave the scum-sucking amoeba.
