CLERMONT, Florida — A woman who told a deputy her victim’s face was melted and she was demon possessed is in the Lake County Jail on $25,000 bond.
Allison Elizabeth Brown, 24, of Clermont was sitting on a sidewalk in front of her home around 3 p.m. Monday, when a Lake County Sheriff’s responded to a report of a domestic battery. The deputy made contact with Brown who immediately said, “My [victim’s] face is melted and she is demon possessed.” The deputy asked what happened between Brown and her victim and, “she went on the same tangent,” and told the deputy nothing physical happened, according to an arrest affidavit.
The victim, whose ear was red and missing a patch of hair, told the deputy Brown drank an “excessive amount of alcohol” in a short amount of time and the victim was concerned; she removed the alcohol and Brown struck her on the left side of the head. The victim said a similar incident occurred three days earlier and that is when Brown pulled her hair out.
Brown was taken into custody and charged with domestic battery. This is Brown’s 10th arrest for battery since November 2015.
