A Florida woman has been arrested for squeezing her boyfriend's genitals until they bled during a heated argument, cops say.
Katie Lee Pitchford, 21, was arrested on June 4 after cops responded to reports of an assault at a home in Indian Harbour Beach, about 70 miles from Orlando.
A man called police at 3.47am saying his live-in girlfriend, who he's been dating for nearly three years, assaulted him after she became 'enraged' during an argument, according to the police report.
When cops arrived to the scene the victim was found with his face bloodied and bruising.
In the arrest report Pitchford claimed they got into a fight because she wanted to go on a date with an old friend and her boyfriend found out by seeing the text messages on her phone and became jealous. But she says the confrontation was only verbal - not physical.

Pitchford, a hairstylist and colorist, was arrested for battery and accused of violating her probation. She allegedly became so enraged during an argument with her boyfriend, who she lived with, she hit him, scratched his face, and choked him until he couldn't breathe
Once handcuffed and placed in the police squad car she reportedly 'asked if she could talk to the victim because she wanted to say she was sorry'
Pitchford said that earlier that evening the couple had been out drinking and then went to the beach where Pitchford fell and suffered scrapes and bruises to her legs. The couple then returned home and the boyfriend helped but bandages on her injuries.
The boyfriend told police the same story of the beach and the fall but says that Pitchford suddenly attacked him out of the blue as he was sleeping in bed by grabbing him by the scrotum.
The boyfriend told police that Pitchford grabbed him 'by his balls and squeezed them until they bled.'
He said that Pitchford beat him with a brush, hit him 'with her fists and scratched the left side of his face' then put her hand around his throat so hard he couldn't breathe.
He says he never struck her back and tried to block her blows. He managed to wrestle her by the arms and escape to call police.
