The victim claims that Thornhill then "snapped" and cut his throat with a folding locked blade knife, according to officials. The victim then yelled out to his roommate for help and he called 911 for assistance, deputies said.
When deputies arrived, they said they found the victim lying on his back on top of a partially clothed Thornhill, struggling on the bedroom floor.
The victim was transported to Ocala Regional Medical Center for treatment. His roommate advised the sheriff's deputy that he lives an alternative lifestyle and meets men at bars and online, officials said.
According to a Lake County Sheriff's Office report, Thornhill was taken to Leesburg Regional Medical Center for treatment of injuries that occurred during the struggle. He claims he was drugged and that things went "fuzzy," deputies said.
LRMC emergency room personnel noted that Thornhill's bloodwork showed a presence of marijuana, but no alcohol or other drugs were found.
