Man is woken up by his live-in girlfriend and gets angry by battering her, two law enforcement officers, and an emergency medical care provider.

On July 12, 2018, at approximately 9:00 AM, officers responded to 622 SE 46th Ter for a call for service in reference to an aggravated battery.

Steven Scott Barker (W/M, DOB: 12/07/1980, 622 SE 46th Ter) became upset when his live-in girlfriend woke him up. Steven grabbed a metal chair and struck the victim with it several times, put the chair down, began punching her, and then pushed the victim through a glass window causing several injuries. 

Officers on the scene conducted an investigation and arrested Steven who was being uncooperative verbally and physically and then kicked an officer. A TASER was deployed on Steven to gain compliance. Steven was then taken to a local hospital and while there struck a nurse and scratched another officer.

Steven was charged with aggravated battery, two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, battery on an emergency medical care provider, and resisting arrest with violence.

Steven was later transferred to Lee County Jail.
