On November 23, 2022, around 4:45PM, Jackson County, Florida deputies responded to 4991 Hwy. 77 in Graceville in reference to a physical altercation.
After making contact with the victim, deputies learned that Jeffrey Lane had pushed the victim to the floor, covered her nose and mouth, depriving her of oxygen, locked her in her home and took her cell phone to prevent her from calling for help.
On Nov. 24, Lane contacted deputies to proclaim his innocence. Lane was then arrested and charged with Battery Domestic Violence by Strangulation and False Imprisonment.
Sheriff Edenfield will not tolerate any acts of violence, and those who commit these acts will be punished to the fullest extent.
