AUBURNDALE, Fla. — Polk County Sheriff (PCSO) arrested a woman for attempted first-degree murder after she allegedly attempted to run over her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend with a car.
PCSO said that the victim and her boyfriend were walking across Old Dixie Highway on April 10 to a friend's house when her boyfriend spotted his ex-girlfriend, Christdon Reese, heading south on Old Dixie Highway in her car.
Reese saw the couple in her car, made a U-turn headed straight for the woman, and hit her with the vehicle, PCSO said.
Reese turned around in a driveway and sped away back onto Old Dixie Highway.
PCSO said fire rescue crews transported the victim to a local hospital. She had two spinal fractures, but she is expected to recover.
"Christdon Reese needs to learn how to control her temper, and maybe some cooling off in the jail will help,” Sheriff Grady Judd said.
Polk County Sheriff arrested Reese on attempted first-degree murder along with trespassing and violation of probation.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
