Orlando delivery driver accused of hitting, dragging woman from car in road rage dispute, police say

2 women arrested in separate Central Florida road rage attacks

Two women were arrested in separate Central Florida road rage incidents that escalated into violence and resulted in felony charges, according to police and sheriff’s officials.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Two women were arrested in separate Central Florida counties following road rage incidents that escalated into violent confrontations, according to law enforcement.

In one incident, an Orlando delivery driver is facing charges after she allegedly hit and held down a woman who she said cut her off several times while driving.

In a separate incident in Marion County, a mother is accused of ramming a parked car at a Dollar General that had two children inside, while the mom's child was inside the car with her.

The backstory:

Antoinette Evans, 24, is facing multiple charges, including vehicle burglary and battery after getting into a physical fight with another driver near the Mall at Millenia.  

When Orlando Police officers arrived on the scene, a witness pointed to Evans, telling officers she was hitting the other driver, an arrest affidavit said. 

Antoinette Evans, 24, is accused of hurting another driver near the Mall of Millenia. 

Evans told officers she was leaving a business on Millenia Boulevard when another driver – who officers identified as a 22-year-old woman – cut her off multiple times on the road. Evans reported that the woman cut through the opening in the median and later cut her a off again, causing a crash. 

After the crash, Evans told police she got out of her car and walked to the other woman's vehicle, where the woman tried to kick her thorough the open door window. After the woman did this again, Evans said she hit at the woman's leg to avoid getting hit. Evans told police the woman got out of her car and attempted to swing at her. Evans then hit the woman and held her down until police arrived, she told officers.

Soda bottle thrown through a window

The other side:

The woman claimed that Evans cut her off, drove recklessly, and followed her on the road, the arrest affidavit said. The woman said Evans threw a soda bottle at her, through the window, while both cars were moving. Investigators later found an empty plastic soda bottle on the floorboard and said the driver's side floorboard was soaked. 

She told police that Evans quickly drove past her, in which the back right of Evans' car hit the front left of her car. 

After the crash, the woman said Evans got out of her car and punched her in the head through the driver's window. She then told police that Evans opened the driver's door, grabbed her, dragged her out of the car to the grass and punched her. The woman claimed she didn't touch Evans. 

A witness told police she saw Evans open the woman's door, drag her out and punch the woman several times. 

Evans was charged with vehicle burglary due to allegedly reaching into the woman's car, two counts of battery and one count of shooting or throwing a deadly missile into an occupied vehicle from the soda bottle thrown into the car. Evans was also issued multiple non-criminal traffic citations involving the crash, police said. 

Road rage in the Dollar General parking lot

The backstory:

A second road rage incident occurred in Marion County, where deputies arrested 26-year-old Kaylee Agee in Ocala. Authorities said Agee had a child in her vehicle when she allegedly intentionally rammed a parked car at a Dollar General that had two children inside.

Kayla Agee, 26, was booked into the Marion County Jail on charges of child abuse, aggravated battery, and criminal mischief.

According to the arrest report, witnesses said Agee and the other driver argued before Agee reversed across the parking lot and drove into the victim’s vehicle. Agee is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and child abuse.

Investigators in both cases credited witness accounts for corroborating victims’ statements and helping lead to the arrests. Law enforcement officials urged anyone who witnesses violent road rage incidents to contact police immediately.
