Jeremy Floyd was arrested after a woman who was allegedly beaten and held captive at gunpoint by him for two days convinced him bring their dog to an animal hospital -- and then slipped a staff member a note asking that police be called, Florida authorities said.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal quotes the Volusia County Sheriff's Office as saying the 39-year-old Floyd was arrested at DeLand Animal Hospital. He was being held without bond on domestic violence and other charges.
The report said Floyd beat the woman on Wednesday and refused to let her leave their home. Two days later, she convinced Floyd to let her take their dog to a veterinarian, although he wouldn't let her go alone.
