— Mayonnaise, a flashlight, tools, wine and some bad tempers kept local law enforcement busy on Thursday and Friday. Three separate domestic disputes resulted in the arrests of three individuals.

On Thursday, Oconee County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to 211 Church St. in West Union to respond to a reported fight in progress. Upon arrival, deputies encountered Daria Woods, who allegedly showed clear signs of intoxication. According to the incident report, Woods had a difficult time providing deputies with a coherent explanation of what happened.

The victim, Woods’ boyfriend, told investigators that after two hours of heavy drinking, Woods began to argue with him, and during the course of the argument took out a toolbox and dumped its contents on the floor. Woods then allegedly picked up an adjustable wrench and began swinging at the victim, striking him on the arm and gashing his elbow and leaving other visible marks.

When the male victim went outside to avoid further assault, he told officers, a naked Woods ran outside to attempt to attack him again, but ultimately grabbed his keys from him and walked back inside, where she began to touch herself with a jar of mayonnaise and a flashlight.

When deputies asked Woods to stand up so they could place her under arrest, she allegedly refused multiple times. Woods was taken to Oconee County Detention Center and charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and resisting arrest. She was behind bars on a $50,000 surety bond as of Monday.

A day later, a Seneca woman was arrested for allegedly attacking her boyfriend for not satisfying her. Rachel Al-Nasser was arrested at her North Fairplay Street home after Seneca police were dispatched there on a reported domestic dispute.

According to the incident report, the male victim and Al-Nasser had been sharing a bottle of wine on Friday night before the man attempted to retire to bed. But an apparently intoxicated Al-Nasser had other ideas, according to the victim’s statement to police, and attempted to wake him up to be intimate. When he refused, the suspect allegedly slapped him repeatedly and yelled profanity at him. Seneca police observed marks on the man’s face and neck and arrested Al-Nasser on a criminal domestic violence charge. She was released from Oconee County Detention Center the same day on a $2,130 personal recognizance bond.

Friday also saw the arrest of a man already convicted once of domestic violence. Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a Brooklyn Lane residence in the Seneca area, where they found a 27-year-old female victim and her three small children crying. The woman told officers she’d been assaulted by her drunken husband, Nicholas Ford Eagle, and that during the assault, she had been pushed onto her 5-month old infant, making the baby cry. Eagle also allegedly attempted unsuccessfully to break the victim’s cell phone to prevent her from calling the authorities, but she was able to grab her children and run out of the house.

Eagle allegedly used profanity toward responding deputies and made threats against them, but was placed under arrest and taken to jail, where he remained on a $25,000 surety bond as of Monday. He is charged with second-offense criminal domestic violence.

    That article was...entertaining? I believe in freedom of speech and of the press, but I think sometimes the "too much information" rule should be followed.

    Of course it did show that a woman can also be arrested for CDV just like a man.

    All The Journal did was report the facts. If they skipped some facts and another news source did not, you would be complaining about The Journal's lack of coverage. Get over it. Flashlight??? Huh???

    I guess conditions in the jail aren't as bad as they want us to believe. She looks pretty excited in her glamour shot.

    Am I reading this wrong....Daria Woods gets a $50,000 surety bond and Eagle only gets $25,000 surety bond? In Eagle's case doesn't it say there were 3 small children and that the lady had been pushed onto her 5-month old infant? And don't start with the man vs woman. I don't care what sex you are, that fact is there were children present at one incident and yet he gets a smaller surety bond? Granted, Ms. Woods is one of the DJM's arrest report frequent flyers. I still feel more should be done when children are involved or present at these altercations.

    If Eagle had used a flashlight or mayonaise, then his would have been $50,000............so he must have used his bare hands.
