TAMPA - A trainee with Hillsborough County Fire Rescue has been jailed on charges of aggravated battery of a pregnant woman and aggravated stalking, according to an arrest report.

Deputies arrested Kyle A. Henry, 25, at his apartment on Himes Avenue shortly after 2 a.m. today, the report states.

On Tuesday, the woman told deputies Henry has assaulted her at various times since April, pulling her hair, choking her and kicking her, the report states.

Investigators said Henry also left her 50 threatening phone messages over 24 hours, including one text message that left her in fear for her life and that of her unborn child and 9-year-old son.

Henry remains in Orient Road Jail. No bail has been set.

The county hired him in December 2006 as a recruit, putting him through firefighter and emergency medical technician training. In September, Henry was promoted to fire medic trainee, and he has been attending paramedic school, department spokesman Ray Yeakley said.
