Your support makes all the difference.A woman who allegedly crashed a wedding, threw a drink over her boyfriend and punched a woman she had seen him kissing, has been arrested.
Shelby McDowell told police she had not been invited to the event at Hammock Beach Parks Resort in Palm Coast, Florida, but had instead gone to spy on her boyfriend Darby Johns.
After the 20-year-old spotted him kissing another woman, she made her presence known.
The victim told investigators from Flagler County Sheriff's Office that Ms McDowell threw a drink over herself and Mr Johns.
Then she punched her in the face before making a break to the bathroom.
Several bridesmaids followed and dragged McDowell out of the bathroom stall by her feet before reportedly pummelling her.
When the resort manager came to break up the fight, McDowell was on top of her boyfriend’s dancing partner and punching her, authorities said.
Mr Johns told authorities the pair were not in a relationship and he had not kissed the victim.
Ms McDowell was taken to Flager County jail on a misdemeanour battery charge but was released pending trial.
