MANATEE COUNTY - A Bradenton man splashed a cup of urine in his girlfriend’s face, pelted her with a half-dozen eggs and threatened to set her on fire Saturday morning, according to a Manatee Sheriff’s report.

Authorities say James E. Farrell, 49, also squirted charcoal lighter fluid all over the woman and then held burning paper near her skin after using several other items to assault her around 2:30 a.m. Saturday in his residence in the 5300 block of 22nd Street East.

Farrell also dumped several gallons of water on the woman, the report said. She did not suffer any serious injuries.

Manatee Sheriff’s spokesman Dave Bristow said Farrell became combative because he was upset about a phone call.

Farrell was arrested on charges of felony aggravated domestic assault and misdemeanor battery.
