Police: Man beat girlfriend, led chase over 'pride'

The full story is here...




The Alachua County Sheriff's Office on Monday released a 911 call in which a woman told a dispatcher she had been dating Eddy for several weeks and that he was aware she was a transgender individual. But when others found out, she said he "freaked out" about it.

"He started beating me up in front of everybody," the 33-year-old woman said.

Police reported Eddy adamantly denied he knew his girlfriend was transgender and planned to "create a show" so he could "reclaim his pride" with his family.

A decision to treat the case as a hate crime will be up to prosecutors, police spokesman Cpl. Tscharna Senn said.
