AUBURNDALE, FL — When Christdon Reese spotted her estranged husband walking with another woman, she didn’t just give them the side-eye—she gave them the front bumper.
According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, Reese, 41, was cruising down Old Dixie Highway when she saw her ex and his new boo taking a romantic stroll. Instead of blasting sad breakup music and driving off dramatically, Reese decided to dramatically escalate things.
The Play-by-Play of Pure Chaos:
1. Spotted: Reese sees her ex and his new girlfriend. Cue internal screaming.
2. U-Turn of Fury: She whips her white Volkswagen Jetta around in a parking lot like she’s in Fast & Furious: Auburndale Drift.
3. Pedal to the Metal: Reese floors it toward the couple, turning a peaceful walk into a real-life game of Grand Theft Auto: Florida Edition.
4. Victim Dodges… Sort Of: The girlfriend bolts down a driveway, but Reese’s aim was unfortunately on point.
5. Hit, Run, Repeat: After mowing the poor woman down (and giving her two spinal fractures—yikes), Reese peels out like she just remembered her oven was still on.
The Aftermath:
– The victim survived (thankfully), but now has a very dramatic story for future first dates.
– Reese was arrested and now faces charges including attempted first-degree murder (because nothing says “I’m over you” like felony charges).
– Bonus: She was already on probation, so this was not the best time to pick up a new hobby like vehicular assault.
Moral of the Story: If you see your ex with someone new, maybe just scream into a pillow instead of using your car as a weapon. Just a thought.
