Authorities were called to a Gulf Drive disturbance Tuesday and met by a 32-year-old man who claimed he had been attacked by the husband of a 38-year-old woman he was sleeping with, according to a Bay County Sheriff’s Office incident report.

The complainant told deputies he had been sleeping with the woman for three months and recently discovered she was pregnant. The complainant told deputies the woman’s husband ”showed up looking for a fight,” striking the complainant with a stick and attempting to run him over with his vehicle.

Deputies contacted the suspect, 29, who told them he went to the complainant’s house looking for a fist fight because the man “is continually hitting on his wife.” The suspect said he only took up a stick to defend himself after being struck with a shovel, and showed deputies on abrasion on his chest.

The suspect was not placed under arrest for lack of probable cause, the report said. The complainant, who is insisting charges be filed, was told the incident would be sent to the State Attorney’s Office for review.
