Sentenced: Florida Man Angry After Being Seated Next to Gay Couple at Restaurant, Beats Up Girlfriend When They Get Home

A 38-year-old man with ties to the Fanjul family of Florida Crystals fame is facing multiple criminal charges following an altercation at his Palm Beach home this week that left a woman with injuries to her head, face, neck, hands, wrists and back, police said.

Alexander Nicholas Fanjul is free on $180,000 bond after officers arrested him on Monday, Jan. 29, on charges that include domestic battery by strangulation, robbery, false imprisonment and cocaine possession.

An attorney who represented the younger Fanjul during a hearing Tuesday at the Palm Beach County Jail declined to comment beyond saying that Fanjul denies the allegations.

During the hearing, Circuit Judge Donald Hafele ordered that he refrain from using nonprescribed drugs and contacting his accuser, and that he surrender any firearms to the Palm Beach Police Department. He bonded out of custody that afternoon, jail records show.

At the door, the officer reported seeing Fanjul inside standing over a woman who was curled up on the floor in a fetal position, according to the arrest report. The Palm Beach Post is not naming the woman.

The officer entered the home and separated both parties. The report said the woman told the officer Fanjul physically assaulted her and that she thought she was going to die.

According to the arrest report, the woman said she and Fanjul had known each other for several months and were having dinner Sunday evening at the Flagler Steakhouse in Palm Beach when Fanjul became upset about being seated near a gay couple.

The woman said Fanjul voiced his frustration throughout dinner, becoming increasingly irate. After eating, the couple returned to Fanjul's home, where Fanjul continued to speak about his frustration with the restaurant.

The woman said she and Fanjul were in his front yard when she asked him to drop the subject. She alleged that Fanjul then punched her in the face with a closed fist. She alleged that Fanjul repeatedly kneed her in the face, forcibly removed her purse and cellphone, and dragged her into the home to prevent her either from escaping or calling for help.

The arrest report did not indicate whether Fanjul gave a statement.

Police arrested him after determining that he was the primary aggressor. While searching him, an envelope found in Fanjul's wallet contained a powdery substance that was believed to be cocaine, police said.

Alexander Nicholas Fanjul probably likes men. Probably screws more guys than his mom does.
