When Police arrived, they discovered him cursing at her. Authorities accused him of third-degree criminal false imprisonment, domestic violence, and minor injunction violation.
He was transported and placed into the Lake County Jail before being released on $8,000 bail on Tuesday.
He said, “I lost my anger,” and I left. When he chose to go back inside after drinking, he had already packed clothing and was on his way to his truck when his wife was instructed to go.
Atchison then claimed to Police the altercation with his wife was ‘verbal only and no physical contact was made that evening,’ the report added.
According to the Police spokeswoman, no emergency services were summoned to the residence on the night of the event, and no injuries were reported.
This is not Atchison’s first arrest for domestic violence; according to a Police spokeswoman, he has been in and out of the Lake County Jail 23 times since 1997 for different offenses, including 5 for domestic abuse.
Fruitland Park is a “quiet and serene neighborhood” located just northeast of Orlando. It is known as ‘The Friendly City,’ a mix of Old Florida and New Orleans.
