A 46-year old man was arrested by the Oconee Sheriff’s Office after he allegedly poured gasoline on his girlfriend after an early morning argument at a home near Walhalla. According to a report by officer Brandon Justice, the incident is alleged to have occurred at a home on Hope Drive near highway 11 when Tommy Lee Looney woke up yesterday morning and then began to yell at his girlfriend to get out of bed and help him get ready for work. There was an alleged tussle between the two, and 46-year old Looney is accused of taking a gasoline jug and pouring gas onto his girlfriend’s legs. Officer Justice says the woman ran out of the home to hide from her boyfriend. After a traffic stop on 11, Looney was arrested on the charge of domestic violence high and aggravated and taken to jail.
