ORLANDO, Fla. - An 18-year-old Deltona woman was arrested overnight after vandalizing what she thought was her ex-boyfriend's car. However, it ended up being a neighbor's vehicle.
Deputies responded to a vandalism call regarding a young woman who was spray-painting a car. When deputies arrived at scene, they spotted two young women in the area, one of whom had yellow spray paint on her pants.
Deputies made contact with the two women, aged 18 and 16.
When deputies questioned the 18-year-old, they said she admitted that she was upset with an ex-boyfriend and decided to throw eggs and spray-paint his car.
The 18-year-old was charged with criminal mischief, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, possession of alcohol under 21, and driving under the influence. According to the deputies, they also witnessed her driving her vehicle with two open Four Loko's in plain view.
The 16-year-old was charged with possession of marijuana over 20 grams, which deputies found while searching her bag.
Deputies also found an empty bottle of Crown Royal, a scale and a can of yellow spray paint while searching the vehicle.
Oops, wrong car!
What they're saying:Unfortunately, the car she vandalized was not owned by her ex-boyfriend…but one of his neighbors. Instead, it was actually Jonathon Edwards’s Infiniti.
"It's crazy too. They chose the perfect color," Edwards told FOX 35's Chancelor Winn. "The perfect color, to pop off of black."
Edwards says he took a razor blade and scraped the paint off the windows so he could see to drive, but his next concern is figuring out how to fix all of the damage.
"Honestly, I do not know," said Edwards. "Right now, everybody's telling me I can get WD-40 some graffiti remover, but obviously I don't want to do that until I go to court."
Body camera video from Volusia County Sheriff’s Office shows the teenage girls being arrested.
"You really need to try hard to try to be sneaky because you are God awful," said the deputy in the video. "You guys spray-painted the wrong damn car."
Deputies said the 16-year-old had over 20 grams of marijuana on her.
"She's definitely involved. I don't know if you saw it, but she's covered in spray paint," said the deputy. "She threw her dope over here."
Now Edwards is left cleaning up the mess.
"You're 18. There's no point to ruin your life this early over a guy," said Edwards. "Makes no sense."
