A Florida mom has been arrested after allegedly beating up a 17-year-old girl outside a high school before stealing her phone, then later breaking her finger and attacking her car with an ax.
Ernstlatta LaFrance, 30, turned up at Carol City Senior High School on Monday and attacked the girl, who was her daughter’s ‘rival’, police said.
That was the first of two brutal confrontations that ended with the high-school student injured, shots fired, and LaFrance gloating on Facebook that nobody should ‘mess’ with her child, they added.
LaFrance appeared before the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court, Family Division on Tuesday.
The feud began when LaFrance’s daughter got into a fight with other girls at the Miami-Dade County Fair & Exposition, the Miami Herald reported.
Footage seen on NBC Miami shows a group of youths clashing violently amid the colorful lights of the fairground.
LaFrance then got revenge outside the school by pulling the girl by the hair and repeatedly punching her face, then stealing her cell phone, police alleged.
But things escalated when the girl drove to LaFrance’s home in Opa-locka to get her phone back, the court heard.
LaFrance then ‘took a stick and struck the victim’s right hand,’ an officer wrote. The teen suffered a broken finger.
The 30-year-old then attacked the girl’s car with an ax, the court heard. And it got worse.
LaFrance’s girlfriend, Erlisa Evans, 28, then exited the home and fired a gun three times into the air, an arrest report said.
