Holmes Beach police arrested resident David Zaccagnino, 52, a board member at the community center and former city commissioner, Oct. 13 for alleged battery.
Officers Chris Bennett and Ryan Welch were dispatched to a call in reference to a battery in the 2000 block of Avenue E.
Bennett and Welch made contact outside the home with the 911-caller, who said they had argued with Zaccagnino in the home and that they had been pushed by Zaccagnino while standing on a step stool and that he then kicked the stool toward the person.
Bennett interviewed Zaccagnino, who said there was an argument but denied any physical contact.
Officers arrested Zaccagnino for battery and transported him to the Manatee County jail. He was released Oct. 14 on a $500 bond.
Under Florida law, battery is a first-degree misdemeanor with penalties of up to one year in jail or 12 months probation and a $1,000 fine.
A court date was not set as of Oct. 14.
