BROOKSVILLE - A sheriff's deputy was named as a victim of domestic violence after an alleged fight with his live-in girlfriend on Monday.
The argument broke out around 5 a.m., hours after Clifford Faulkingham returned home from a night out. His girlfriend, Maygan Smith, 23, returned home after him, angry because she had seen him talking with another girl, a report states.
She reportedly punched him in the face, so Faulkingham picked her up and placed her on the other side of the house to "defuse the situation," a report states. Faulkingham went to another room and slid a piece of furniture across the door, but Smith was so intent on getting to him that she kicked the door hard enough to move the furniture, a report states.
That's the point at which Faulkingham decided to call the sheriff's office and Smith was subsequently arrested on suspicion of domestic violence.
