Drunk Man Arrested After Dragging Woman Down Gravel Road: Police

A man was arrested in the Florida Keys for allegedly dragging a woman down a gravel road.

Jerome Lee Fenner, 40, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, DUI and driving with a suspended license.

According to officials, the victim told police she was watching a movie at her home in Summerland Key when her ex-boyfriend, Fenner, entered her home. That’s when he allegedly hit her in the head and took the keys to her car.

The victim then followed Fenner and saw that he got into her car. The victim opened the passenger side door of the car, when Fenner began to drive away. The victim held onto the door as she was being dragged down the gravel road until she let go.

The woman wasn’t seriously injured.

Police pulled over a car that looked like the one Fenner drove away in. Police said he smelled of alcohol and failed sobriety exercises. They also found empty beer cans and an empty bottle of vodka inside the car.

Fenner was arrested.
