A woman was sitting in a jail cell after she was accused of purposely hitting another woman with a car, punching her, and ripping out her hair extensions, causing her skin to rip.
The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office (IRCSO) says the incident happened on Saturday at around 10:35 p.m. in the parking lot of the Big Shots Lounge, a sports club located on US Highway 1 in Vero Beach. The victim said she was at a co-worker’s party with some friends when she began walking to her car.
That’s when the victim was suddenly hit by a Buick, driven by GK, an arrest affidavit says. The victim said she fell to the ground and as she was getting up, K got out of her car, walked up to her, punched her in the face and ripped her hair extensions out of her head. The victim said she didn’t get a chance to defend herself because a bystander stepped in.
When deputies asked K for her side of the story, she said she was driving too fast and her foot slipped out of her sides, causing her to hit the victim. K said when she got out of the vehicle, the victim got up and hit her, causing a fight between the two.
Despite K’s account of what had transpired, a witness statement and surveillance footage of the incident corroborated the victim’s story.
K was booked on counts of aggravated battery and simple battery.
