A woman who was reportedly upset that her fiancé asked her to sign a prenuptial agreement allegedly became physically violent towards him and his brother during the dispute.
According to reports, an engaged couple who live together in St. Petersburg planned their wedding for July 27. On July 21, while other people were present, things between the couple turned sour. The woman reportedly became angry over a prenup that her betrothed expected her to sign prior to the ceremony. The fight reportedly turned physical when she allegedly started to hit her significant other while holding him by the head.
Her future mate’s brother was one of the individuals who reportedly saw the argument as it unfolded, and he decided to try to calm things down when he saw his sibling unsuccessful in his attempts to disengage. When he stepped in, the woman allegedly began biting the man.
The authorities were notified, and just after 11:30 PM, officers from the St. Petersburg Police Department showed up at the residence. They noted that they talked to the couple and the bystanders, and the reports they received from those who reportedly saw the fight aligned with the accounts given by the man and his brother. It was also reported that both men had injuries the police assumed came from the incident.
The purported soon-to-be bride was taken into custody and booked into the Pinellas County Jail. She is facing preliminary charges of one count of domestic battery, and one count of simple battery. She was released the next day on her own recognizance with the stipulation that she stay away from the alleged victims in addition to the residence she shares with her fiancé.
