Police arrested a man accused of holding his girlfriend prisoner at gunpoint after the quick-thinking woman was able to slip a message to staff at a veterinary clinic. Jeremy Floyd is alleged to have trapped his 28-year-old partner at their home in DeLand, Florida, for more than two days, physically preventing her from leaving the house. The victim said her boyfriend had beaten her on Wednesday night and was wielding a handgun, which had later discharged inside the property as they struggled over it. After spending all day on Thursday in bed due to a head injury, Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said the woman convinced Floyd, 39, to let her take their dog to the vet on Friday.
