Deputies arrested a 28-year-old woman April 18 after dispatchers got a frantic 911 call from a man who said he was in his SUV on northbound I-95, and his girlfriend was attacking his genitalia.
His son, in the car with several other children, filmed at least part of the attack on his cell phone as deputies found the victim’s car on I-95.
Deputies followed it as dispatchers told the victim to pull off on State Road 100, and then stopped the car at a Kangaroo gas station, according to an arrest report.
Two deputies spoke separately to the man and the woman, South Carolina resident Ronnisha Evette Richardson. The man’s name is redacted in the report.
He told deputies he’d argued with Richardson about money paid for a hotel room in Orlando.
In a report, he wrote: “Ronnisha Richardson first attacked me in the hotel room in Orlando b/c I decided to return home today. I was able to pin her down until she calmed down. I proceeded to travel to SC via automobile. She had managed to get my cell phone in her possession. I tried to get it back, she attacked me and tried to pull my genitals like she has done before. She did grab my genitals and I was able to push her off. I told my son to record it.”
Deputies spoke to the son and watched the cell phone video.
A deputy wrote in the arrest report that in the video, “it is apparent that Richardson is the aggressor in the altercation and can be seen actively grabbing at (the victim’s) genitals as he frantically tries to push her back and protect himself all while parked on the side of Interstate 95.”
It was not clear from the arrest report whether the attack began before the victim pulled the car off the road and the son began filming.
After deputies watched the video, they handcuffed Richardson “for officer safety” and arrested her on charges of domestic battery.
They read her her Miranda rights, and she refused to speak to them.
Deputies booked Richardson at the Flagler County jail, and bond was set at $1,500.
