OCALA — Police were called to the troubled Spring Manor apartment complex again this weekend, this time because a man tried to circumcise his 20-month old nephew with a knife.
Ocala police arrested Larry Leroy Floyd, 24, on one count of aggravated domestic battery.
The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday when the boy’s father went to the store to pick up groceries and left his sleeping child in the care of his two brothers-in-law.
When he returned, the child was bleeding. Floyd told the father he circumcised the boy, and then Floyd left the scene.
The boy’s father scooped up his son and took him to hospital. The boy’s condition is unknown.
Jail records show Floyd has been arrested seven times since 2008 on charges including stalking, trespass, armed robbery, theft and drugs.
Spring Manor, located in Ocala off Northeast Seventh Street, has received some bad press lately for a number of recent shootings, two of which resulted in deaths, and other criminal activity.
