Deputies Say Man Climbed In Bed With Teen

ZEPHYRHILLS - A Zephyrhills man was charged Friday with attempted involuntary sexual battery after the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said he climbed into bed with a 16-year-old girl.

Scott Lee Driggers, 43, of 8531 Semmes St., was arrested at his home shortly before 5 p.m. after fleeing the house where the incident occurred, according to the Pasco Sheriff's Office.

The victim and her family told deputies Driggers appeared to be drunk when he climbed into bed with the girl at about 2 a.m. Friday, and began fondling her.

After he was discovered in the girl's bedroom, Driggers got into an argument with her parents before leaving the home on his bicycle, deputies said.

Driggers was being held today at the Land O' Lakes Jail with bail set at $50,000.
