Man batters woman with scented candle and guitar

FORT WALTON BEACH — A 36-year-old man was arrested Sept. 18 on charges of battery after attacking his girlfriend with multiple items.

The couple were mid-argument when the man threw a lit, scented candle in a glass jar at the woman.

The candle landed on the couch and spilled wax on the cushions, but did not hit the woman, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s report.

The woman attempted to retreat to her bedroom, but the man followed her into the room.

According to the report, the woman had sat on her bed and the argument continued.

While arguing, the man kicked the woman in the shin and picked up a guitar that he battered her with.

The man then left the home and the woman walked to Bridgeway Center and reported the abuse.
