Florida Woman Arrested After Beating Girlfriend Who ‘Talked In Her Sleep About An Ex’
Alexis Talley, a 23-year-old Florida woman, has been arrested for domestic battery after allegedly beating her girlfriend for “talking in her sleep about an ex.” Talley is facing an enhanced felony charge since she has previously been arrested for battery that resulted in a no contest plea.
It’s reported that the incident occurred on Sunday night (June 13). Officers responded to a neighbor’s report of a “fight in progress” at the couple’s residence in Dunedin, about 25 miles west of Tampa. The victim, whose name has been redacted, claims she was sleeping with Talley woke her up and “told her she was talking in her sleep about an ex.”
The two reportedly began arguing verbally “before Alexis began to punch [the victim] in the face.” The affidavit reports that the victim “had visible swelling: on the right side of her face. Meanwhile, Talley confirmed the two got into an argument after the talking in the sleep moment, but says things didn’t get physical. Instead, Talley says the injuries were from “a previous disorder” and not her punching the victim. In addition to her latest charges, records show Talley faces a felony marijuana possession charge and in December 2018 was arrested for a DUI and driving with a suspended or revoked license.
