Air Unit Aids in Capture of Agg. Battery Suspect - Woman Severely Beaten
SPRING HILL – Late Saturday evening, deputies received information that an Aggravated Battery occurred at an address on Lowell Ave. Upon arrival, deputies made contact with the victim, Brittany White, who claimed that her boyfriend accused her of cheating and proceeded to beat her.
Brittany says she was doing laundry inside the home, when 32-year-old Stephen Joseph Fisher began punching her and then slammed her face into a bathroom sink. White attempted to call 911 with her cellphone, but Fisher grabbed it out of her hand and smashed it on the ground. Fisher then proceeded to push White to the ground, where he continued to kick and punch her.
It’s not clear how law enforcement was notified of the incident but within minutes of the call, numerous deputies swarmed the area and established a perimeter. A K-9 unit began tracking in a dry retention pond, where they believed the suspect may be hiding among trees and brush. With time running out on a successful track, deputies called for the Air Unit to pass over the area – hoping to locate the suspect with the Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), a thermal imaging device that picks up heat signatures at night.
It didn’t take long after the Air Unit arrived on scene, before they detected something in the back yard of a nearby residence. Deputies quickly moved in and arrested Fisher without further incident.
Fisher is charged with Aggravated Battery and Tampering with a Witness – he remains behind bars at this time, held on a $20,000 bond.
Fire Rescue responded to the scene and treated White a laceration over the left eye and severe bruising to the face.

I’m always curious why victim’s names
are released in a news story.
They should have “scuffed” him up before taking him to jail. Resisting arrest ya know.
one thing I noticed about tough guys, is they only pick on someone not as tuff. Primaraly girls, old folks, or kids. Why not find a state trooper to punch out or a navy seal? Next time you feel tough go look for a special forces dude to slam his head in the sink, see how that works out for you tough guy !!!!
The ladies around here sure know how to pick the losers ! Ugh
Another scumbag that only picks on girls! Don’t take him back!
One of these days he may run into the wrong woman and she might beat the crap out of him! Men that beat women would run from a man, they are real pieces of crap. I hope the victim will be ok and stay away from him. Sad
nice job HCPD and cudos the the air unit .
i sincerely hope she doesnt have any kids with this dick.
HCSO why do you waste an ambulance on this scum he dont need an ambulance for a small laceration - let the jail nurse put a band aid on it! Stop using valuable resources what if i needed that ambulance for my father having a heart attack and its on a BLS (BS) laceration call? Send a fire truck for that kind of crap!
Actually the victim is the one with the laceration…
Women logic. “Don’t take him back”. No kidding….She chose him in the first place. They all want the “bad boys”. How many times do see these women crying while their abusive boyfriend is handcuffed in the back of the squad car or bailing them out the next day wearing sunglasses to hide her black eyes?
he be a big boy beating on a woman, I would like him to push me once, end of game for this piece of sh*t
I will bet this guy has a history of violence. Still don’t understand why women stay in a relationship that is abusive.
