Gainesville man arrested for beating, trapping girlfriend in apartment

A Gainesville man was arrested Friday after he was accused of beating his girlfriend and trapping her in their apartment.

Albert Andrews, 28, got into a verbal fight with his girlfriend after she tried giving her daughter a piece of candy.

According to the Gainesville Police Department arrest report, the fight escalated into Andrews throwing two televisions. Andrews then pushed the woman through a glass window, shattering it and slicing a one-inch-deep cut into her right arm. The three times she tried to call the police, Andrews took the phones away from her and broke them. Andrews then trapped her in a room by putting a bed in front of the door. After her arm bled for 30 minutes, the woman escaped to her neighbor's house and called the police, according to the report.

Andrews was charged with three felonies including aggravated battery and false imprisonment.
