There’s never a dull moment in Florida. The latest craziness stems from a woman who allegedly took her revenge plot against her ex-boyfriend’s wife wayyy too far. Authorities say she frightened the victim into believing she was just minutes from getting deported.
Latrance Battle, 52, has just been served charges in connection to the April 10 incident. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office said they responded to the Bridge Plaza Apartments in Panama City Beach. They said they received a report from a woman who claimed she was kidnapped. The woman told officers, hours earlier, Battle arrived at her place of employment donning an ICE uniform, sheriff’s office business card and a hand-held radio, per an arrest affidavit via FOX 35 Orlando.
The woman said she was in the process of becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen. Believing Battle was a real ICE agent, the woman complied with her orders and got into her vehicle, per the affidavit. However, when she tried to contact her husband and attorney, she told police Battle snatched her phone from her hand. At this point, you could not tell shorty she wasn’t about to be sent on the first thing smoking to the border.
One thing did raise her suspicions, though. The report says she was driven to Bridge Plaza despite Battle telling her they were headed to the sheriff’s office. She discovered later that it was Battle’s home.
Once Battle got out of the vehicle, police said the woman took a chance to run off and find a bystander to help her contact the police. A neighbor lent his phone, police said, which she used to call 911 and her husband. Upon providing a description of Battle to her hubby, she encountered an even more shocking realization: Battle wasn’t an agent, she was her husband’s salty ex.
The woman’s husband told authorities he filed an injunction against Battle over their past beef, per Law&Crime. Allegedly, she showed up to his job two years ago and tried to attack him, the report says. However, it’s unclear what led her to go out of her way to get her lick back this time, allegedly.
