Lee County sheriff’s deputies say the victim and Clifton Bruce Lockhart, 55, of the 7400 block of Pebble Beach Road, have been living together for eight years.
When deputies arrived to the home on Wednesday, they could hear a woman screaming from inside, according to reports. The victim was in the living room with duct tape around her arms, torso, and ankles.
She told deputies she and Lockhart were arguing over the family iguana when they began pushing each other. She picked up a fishing pole and started striking him with it and then Lockhart held her down and duct taped her, reports said.
Deputies identified Lockhart as the primary aggressor. He is facing battery charges.
