TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A Tallahassee man is behind bars after Leon County deputies say he got into a fight with his ex-girlfriend, threatened to tase her, and stole her car.
Tavaris Nolen was arrested on Florida State's campus Wednesday afternoon.
According to court documents, Nolen and his ex were arguing on Sunday after Nolen had come to her house, driving a car that she had loaned him for Saturday, to work on another one of her cars.
At some point during the argument, Nolen tried to leave her house in the car she had lent him yesterday.
The victim told him that he couldn't take it and tried to move the car into her driveway.
As she did, a fight began as Nolen tried to get her out of the driver's seat. The document said that when he saw that he couldn't get her out, he ran around to the other side to gather his stuff from the front seat.
The document said that the then pulled out a "large black electric weapon" that the victim told deputies was a taser, and threatened to use it on her.
Eventually, Nolen was able to pull her out of the car, causing her to twist her ankle.
The report says that the victim told Nolen that she was going to call the police, but he grabbed her phone, throwing it over the house. Nolen then took off with the car.
Deputies were eventually able to find the abandoned car on Jackson Bluff Road.
Nolen is in the Leon County Jail on a $45,000 bond. He is facing several charges including carjacking, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony.
