Domestic dispute erupts in Diamond Village

A UF student and a UF employee, a husband and wife, were involved in an alleged domestic dispute Thursday night at Diamond Village, an on-campus apartment complex for married students.

As a result of the incident, which happened around 8 p.m., Eric Hayden, 29, has been banned from his apartment and all UF housing complexes until further notice.

According to a University Police Department arrest report, Venus Hayden, 21, alleges that she was arguing with her husband when he pushed her hard against the front door then put his hand around her neck but did not choke her.

He then opened the door and threw her out of the apartment, Venus said in the report.

Eric was arrested and charged with battery, a misdemeanor, and taken to the Alachua County Jail, UPD Lt. Robert Wagner said.

A sworn complaint was also filed against Venus, Wagner said. The complaint was not available by press time.
