Holmes Beach police officers arrested Bradenton resident Aaron Williams, 29, Sept. 21 on a first-degree felony charge for burglary with battery.
An officer was dispatched to report of a battery and arrived to find a man arguing with a woman outside a residence in the 300 block of 72nd Street.
The man, identified as Williams, had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, according to the police report.
Williams told the officer he previously lived at the residence and was there to take his things and leave.
The woman told the officer Williams battered her brother, who later spoke with the officer and said Williams entered the residence unannounced and without permission, and struck him several times to provoke a fight.
The man wanted to press charges against Williams and provided an affidavit.
No additional information was available to the public as of Sept. 23.
Conviction for a first-degree felony can carry up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
