A Bonita Springs man is accused of beating his girlfriend after she woke him playing with a sex "toy" in bed.

Jeffrey L. Bowers, 53, of the 27500 block of Playa Del-Rey, was arrested on Monday by Lee deputies at his home and is facing battery charges. According to reports, when deputies arrived the victim was standing in the front yard with bruises on both arms and a swollen eye.



She told them Bowers dragged her through the home, kicked her in the face, and then pushed her out of the house. She had been banging on the doors and windows because he still had all of her belongings, reports said.

Bowers told deputies he picked up his girlfriend earlier to come over and make him dinner. According to reports, they went to bed and he became angry when he woke up and she was playing with the sex toy. He told her to stop and let him sleep. He then told her to get the cigarettes off the back porch. When she opened the door he picked her up and pushed her out, reports said.
