FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. - A Kansas fugitive was arrested after allegedly striking his girlfriend in the face inside a Florida home, deputies said.
Nathaniel Morris, 65, had an active warrant out of the Greary County Sheriff's Office in Junction City, Kansas from March 2023 for offenses that include domestic battery, DUI, and fleeing from several traffic infractions.
On Tuesday, a woman called 911 to a home on Underwick Path in Palm Coast after she said Morris had struck her in the face.
When deputies located Morris inside of the home, he refused all commands to come out for several minutes, a press release shows.

He was arrested for domestic battery and for being a fugitive from justice, deputies said.
