Cape Coral Woman Charged with DUI Assaults Boyfriend

In Cape Coral, Florida, police are reporting that a heated argument between a boyfriend and a girlfriend led to the DUI and battery charges on July 22nd.

According to police reports, 19 year old Brecken Elizabeth Boyd was arrested for driving under the influence and misdemeanor battery.  Police say that witnesses noticed Boyd and her boyfriend were arguing outside of Leapin Lizard Bar & Grille.  The witnesses called police as the argument became more incensed. 

Boyd's boyfriend, 21 year old Ryan Kracczon, told police when they arrived at the scene that Boyd was giving him a ride to Fort Myers Beach when they suddenly got into a serious argument.  Boyd, who was very upset, stopped her vehicle and asked Kraczon to get out.  When he exited her vehicle, she continued to fight with him and then began to slap and bite him repeatedly in the face.  Kraczon said he had been walking away from his girlfriend when police found him.

Police suspected that the girlfriend was under the influence when they smelled, "a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Boyd."  After she failed the field sobriety tests, officers placed her under arrest for DUI and battery.  She is currently being held in Lee County jail in lieu of bail, which was set at $8,500.
