A Florida sheriff deputy was arrested Friday after he told investigators that he accidentally shot his girlfriend.
Ocala Police said in a press release posted on Facebook that they responded to the home of 32-year-old Leslie Boileau, a Marion County Sheriff's deputy late Thursday, where they found Boileau's girlfriend with a fatal gunshot wound to the head.
