Nap Interrupted: Ex-Boyfriend’s Slap Fest Ends in Arrest
What began as an ordinary Walmart run quickly took a turn for the worse when Reuben Donnell Lewis found himself behind bars for allegedly battering his ex-girlfriend, Kaleena Olene Davis, not once but twice in two days.
On September 5, 2024, Marion County deputies responded to a domestic battery call at a gas station on NE Jacksonville Road. According to Davis, what should have been a simple trip turned ugly when Lewis allegedly laid hands on her during a stop at the pump, turning the pitstop into a crime scene. But that wasn’t the end of it.
As deputies dug deeper, Davis revealed the gas station incident wasn’t even the worst of it. The night before, Davis said she was at the home of a mutual friend, Cedrick Harris, where she decided to catch some shut-eye on the couch. That’s when, according to her account, Lewis woke her up with a slap to the leg, pulled her off the couch by her arms, and then, in a move straight out of a wrestling match, grabbed her by the neck and slapped her repeatedly across the face. The alleged assault left Davis with a swollen black eye, bruises on her arms, and a sizable handprint on her leg.
When deputies arrived at Harris’s home to confront Lewis, he immediately denied everything, claiming that Davis was lying and that she had harmed herself to frame him. Despite his protests, deputies noted Davis’s injuries were consistent with her story, not Lewis’s version of events.
Lewis was swiftly arrested and transported to the Marion County Jail, where he faces charges for his second domestic battery offense.
