Man Attacks Girlfriend Over Politics

An 18-year-old U.S. Marines enlistee grew so angry that his girlfriend was considering supporting John Kerry for president and breaking up with him that he imprisoned her in his suburban Lake Worth house and had to be Tased by a sheriff's deputy, authorities said. Steven Soper, an ardent supporter of President Bush, began pushing and shoving Stacey Silviera, 18, on Tuesday night when she arrived at his house to return some of his personal items.

"I kill you," he said, according to an arrest report. "You want (to) live to see the election?"

Officials said a neighbor saw him drag her into his parents' house and called 911.

As Soper held her with a screwdriver and a shard from a broken pot, a sheriff's deputy tried to separate them, said Paul Miller, a spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

Silviera eventually broke free, and the deputy then used a Taser to disable Soper.

He was arrested on charges of aggravated battery, false imprisonment and resisting arrest without violence. He was being held at the Palm Beach County Jail without bond until a mental health assessment is completed.
