An overly intoxicated Florida woman was arrested for stabbing a minivan with a pitchfork after being seen selling teddy bears behind a supermarket.
Lisa Slone, 56, was hauled off to the Lake County Jail Tuesday afternoon following the incident at a Publix store in Minneola.
A Florida Highway Patrol report said, a manager at the supermarket on North Hancock Road told troopers who arrived after 2 p.m. that Slone was trying to hawk stuffed animals earlier in the day.
The manager of the Publix store said, “We saw the woman walking around with a black whip and pitchfork. She then used the pitchfork to pierce a minivan, but the van’s owner did not want to involve the police. The person said they would just pay for the damages themselves.”
A trooper wrote in the report that he ordered Slone to drop the pitchfork, but she refused and walked away.
Slone was then taken into custody by force and placed in the back of a patrol car, where she was able to unbuckle her seatbelt and proceeded to kick at the rear window, prompting troopers to have her feet placed into a hobble.
When officers asked about the cuts and bruises covering her face and body, Slone repeatedly said, “I feel no pain anymore. God is in control.”
The officer that wrote the report, noted that the woman seemed highly intoxicated and on some sort of stimulant drug, but didn’t have any odor of alcoholic beverage.
Slone was booked into the county jail on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, a third-degree felony. She appeared to smirk in her mugshot.
She remained behind bars as of Thursday after failing to post $2,000 bond. Slone is due back in court for her arraignment on Aug. 15.
Online records indicate that Slone’s rap sheet in Florida includes previous arrests on charges of petty theft and probation violation.
