LADY LAKE, Florida—A Lady Lake man has been in the Lake County Jail for a week after being arrested for throwing a Dr. Pepper can at his grandma and spitting on her and a police officer, according to an arrest affidavit.
When Lady Lake Police Department officers responded to the home on Cierra Oaks Circle the afternoon of March 18, Larry Alan Reed, 27, “assumed a boxer stance with his fists balled up” and reportedly said, “Come on,” to a pair LLPD officers. One officer unholstered his taser and pointed at Reed, who complied and was taken into custody. While being taken to a patrol car, Reed spit on the second officer, according to the arrest affidavit.
LLPD went into the home to speak with the victim, Reed’s grandmother, and found numerous Dr. Pepper cans scattered around the home with liquid on the floor. The 80-year-old victim explained she was in a verbal altercation with Reed and he threw a can of soda at her and spit on her.
Reed was arrested for domestic battery on a person over 65 years old and battery on a law enforcement officer. He was transported to LCJ, where he is being held on $15,000 bond.
