LAND O'LAKES -- Pasco County sheriff's deputies extradited a 37-year-old man from San Diego, and arrested him Tuesday for the rape of a young girl.

According to court records, the man had sexual intercourse with the girl sometime between August 1997 and May 1998. The girl was older than 12 and younger than 18 at the time of the incident.

Man allegedly spits on deputy taking him to jail

HOLIDAY -- A man who was arrested for slapping and kicking his girlfriend also was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer after he spit on a Pasco deputy Monday night, records show.

A Pasco County sheriff's deputy arrested John Glenn Prouty, 35, of 3237 Masonville Loop, Holiday, at 10 p.m. on Monday. Prouty had slapped his girlfriend in the face and kicked her in the back of the head, the deputy's report said.

As the deputy took Prouty to the county jail in Land O'Lakes, Prouty spit on the deputy and kicked the inside of the cruiser door so hard that plastic on the door broke, a report said.

Prouty was released Wednesday from the county jail on $4,750 bail.
