A Palm Harbor army reservist has been arrested for domestic battery and felony attempted sexual battery against his girlfriend. The defendant, 27-year old Patrick Doyle, allegedly became enraged with his girlfriend when she did not bring him home dinner. The victim stated to police that Doyle had been drinking, spit on her and then tried to force her to engage in sex.
The victim refused the defendant's advances and the Doyle retaliated. He is accused of hitting his girlfriend, throwing a chair and lit cigarettes at her, chasing her around their home and threatening her. The victim stated she managed to escape her boyfriend's attack by kicking him in the chest in self defense.
Doyle joined the Army Reserve in June 2005. He is ranked as Sergeant of Medical Command as a veterinary food inspector. The defendant has twice been convicted of the crime of driving under the influence since the year 2000.
The police have charged Doyle with domestic battery and felony attempted sexual battery for the crimes that allegedly took place against his girlfriend. He has not yet posted the $11,000 bond and is currently awaiting trial inside the Pinellas County Jail.
