A woman caught on camera attacking two men with a screwdriver after a crash on MacArthur Causeway appeared before a judge on Tuesday.
During the hearing, Judge Mindy Glazer set bond at $7,000 for Acklynn Byamugisha, 26, who is charged with two counts each of aggravated battery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was also ordered to stay away from the two men she’s accused of attacking.
"I am ordering you to stay away from Freddy Diaz, the alleged victim. No contact directly or indirectly or in person or through writing, or by telephone, or by a third party, and stay at least 500 feet away from the victim at his home or place of employment," said Glazer.
The judge also gave Byamugisha a little advice.
The crash happened around 7 a.m. Monday after Byamugisha stopped her black BMW on the causeway, partially blocking the right eastbound lane near Biscayne Boulevard, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. An oncoming white Toyota SUV slammed into it.
After the accident, Byamugisha got out of her vehicle and confronted the Toyota’s driver, Freddy Diaz. According to the FHP report, Byamugisha claimed that Diaz’s father showed up after the crash and was "very threatening and physically grabbed her and pulled her hair." The report said she entered the father’s vehicle, grabbed his screwdriver and a bottle of Windex, and sprayed them. Video shot by Chopper4 shows Byamugisha appearing to go after Diaz’s father as he talked on the phone and made stabbing-like gestures while Diaz intervened.
A car barreled into a Hollywood flooring business early Tuesday morning causing extensive damage to the building.
According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, around 3 a.m. they received a report of a car crashing into a building in the area of SW 12 Avenue and SW 16th Street in Dania Beach. The sheriff’s office said the driver of a 2014 Audi was speeding westbound on Sheridan Street when they hit a sign and slammed into Wholesale Flooring Depot at North 22 Avenue.
A witness told CBS News Miami, the driver flew over the railroad tracks on Sheridan Street, then lost control, sped through a grass field, and hit the building. The impact knocked down the garage door and portions of the wall around it. Steven Deshazo, who lives nearby, heard the crash.
