A Winter Park-area man arrested in a bloody attack with a hatchet told deputies he blacked out and couldn't remember any of it, according to a sheriff's report released this afternoon.

Glenard Paul Williams, 50, faces one count of attempted first-degree murder after his roommate Andrea Lea Dinos, 56, was found hacked nine times in the head at their home near Fairbanks Avenue and Interstate 4. She remains in critical condition this afternoon.

Orange County deputy sheriffs were called to a house in the 800 block of Driver Avenue about 11:10 p.m. Tuesday. They found Williams sitting on his bed, with a hatchet at his feet.

"She had been bugging me all day, I blacked out and when I woke up I had the ax in my hand and she was hurt," Williams told a deputy, according to a report.

But deputies think otherwise.
