An intoxicated woman was arrested after allegedly attacking her boyfriend with a tire iron.
Amanda Jane Wymer, 43, of Summerfield, is facing charges of aggravated battery and aggravated assault following her arrest Sept. 19.
Wymer called her boyfriend to come to Lucky’s Upholstery in Belleview because she had a flat tire on her black Mercedes SUV, according to an arrest report from the Belleville Police Department. When the boyfriend arrived, he found that Wymer was intoxicated. As he tried to change the tire, Wymer began acting “erratically” and yelled at him. Wymer took the tire iron from him, then got into his vehicle and tried to start it. However, the boyfriend had the keys in his pocket. Witnesses called 911 when the altercation escalated, prompting Wymer to flee the scene in the Mercedes, which had been resting on a jack.
When police arrived, the boyfriend claimed Wymer had not hit him with the tire iron but admitted he was “concerned for safety.” However, video surveillance obtained from Lucky’s Upholstery showed a different story. The footage showed Wymer slapping and pushing the victim, and pressing her hand against his face. Furthermore, the video showed Wymer striking the victim on both arms and hands with the tire iron…
