Bedford man arrested after pushing a woman

BEDFORD –  A Bedford man was arrested after Bedford Police officers were called to the 400 block of Shawnee Drive on Wednesday, November 30th at 10:23 p.m.

Troy Eads

A woman told police she was injured by 44-year-old Troy Eads at his apartment on Ted Jones Drive. She said Eads had been drinking and the two got into an argument about Eads borrowing money from the woman’s mother.

When the woman exited her bedroom after changing her clothes, Eads became upset with what she was wearing. He grabbed her arms and threw her onto the floor of the laundry room. The incident caused bruising to both arms and a laceration to her left elbow. 

She then went into the living room and Eads allegedly grabbed her again where he threw her up against the wall, grabbed her head, and hit it against the wall multiple times. 

He then pushed her to the ground and covered her mouth making it hard for her to breathe.

She asked Eads to use the phone so she could call her mother for a ride, but Eads refused so the woman walked to the 400 block of Shawnee Lane where she called the police. 

The woman signed a battery affidavit.

Officers then went to Eads’ apartment to speak to him. 

Eads claimed the two did get into a verbal argument but nothing physical had occurred. 

Eads was detained on a charge of domestic battery.
