A beach altercation over a relationship dispute leads officers to search for a suspect, with crucial evidence reportedly on a phone. Responding to a report of a fight no longer in progress on a crowded public beach, officers encountered a woman with visible scratch marks who alleged an assault by a former friend over a boyfriend. The alleged victim detailed a history of animosity stemming from a past relationship, identifying the other woman and recounting how she had previously threatened her parents. The assailant had reportedly fled the scene, but employees at Donovan's Reef and the victim provided key details, including a physical description and a phone number, indicating that evidence of the incident might be on a phone. Officers quickly began their search, eventually locating the suspect, a woman in a black bikini top and floral skirt, on a nearby sidewalk. Upon contact, she admitted to having been in an argument over a guy. Based on the visible injuries sustained by the victim and the corroborating accounts from witnesses, the suspect was placed under arrest for simple assault. She was handcuffed without incident, transported to the police department for processing, issued a summons for Simple Assault, and subsequently released pending a court appearance. The alleged victim was also provided with a Vine form, indicating her intent to pursue a restraining order against the arrested individual. --- Transparency through the lens of the law.
