Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies responding to a report of an assault didn't get a warm welcome from the teenage suspect.
A deputy wrote in Eric Anderson's arrest report that late last Sunday night, Nov. 27, “As soon as Anderson saw me, he took a fighting stand and said to me, ‘What you want b____, I'm gonna to punch you in the face?’”
he was going to choke her in the middle of the night...
It said this case started when the victim, a woman, told the deputy “she was at work and received a text message from [somebody] telling her that Anderson was making threats to kill everyone. She advised that Anderson sent her text messages and showed me the messages. Anderson stating in the text message that he was going to spit and beat [the victim]. He promised [the victim] that he was going to choke her in the middle of the night while everyone is sleeping and kill her. [The victim] advised me that she is in fear for her life, that she was hiding in her mother's bedroom when she called the sheriff's office because Anderson told her if she calls the cops he would beat her and fight the cop.”
That’s when the deputy found Anderson, with an address in Royal Palm Beach, upstairs.
“I then grabbed Anderson by both of his hands and [two other deputies] also grabbed Anderson, escorting him outside,” the arrest report said.
Eric Anderson, 18, was charged with threatening to kill or to do bodily harm to another person, and with corruption by threat against a public servant.
He was booked on Nov. 27, at 3:16 a.m. His bond was set at $15,000, but he has not been released.
Anderson has been at the West Detention Center ever since.
