LARGO, Fla. - Largo police say Jennifer Lynn Betterly was angry about the time it was taking to get service in a fast-food restaurant's drive-thru lane on Saturday night so she rammed another car and then sped away.
Police told the Tampa Bay Times the 24-year-old Pinellas Park woman became impatient around 5:30 p.m. while the driver in front of her ordered food from a Largo KFC/Taco Bell drive-thru.
Police say that's when Betterly rammed her car into the other vehicle and then drove off. She was arrested approximately one hour later.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's website, Betterly faces felony charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and possession of controlled substances (Zolpidem).
She also faces multiple misdemeanor charges including driving under the influence, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license and leaving the scene of an accident with property damage.
