She remains jailed on several charges including larceny, battery, grand theft of a motor vehicle and violation of probation

A maid of honor ruined her best friend's wedding last week when she got raging drunk at the reception, tried to steal the best man's car and punched a male guest.

Amanda Willis, 35, looked happy and sober as she posed for pictures during the wedding of her best friend Jennifer Jones to David Butler in Punta Gorda, Florida on January 6.

But the new Mrs Butler says that her maid of honor got drunk just 20 minutes into the reception and ruined the whole affair - eventually ending up hospitalized and then in jail.

'She was a mess. She drank almost a whole entire bottle of Fireball,' wedding guest Robert Templeton told WBBF. Fireball is a brand of whiskey.

Once she was drunk, Willis reportedly started asking guests for their car keys - and eventually stole the best man's when she didn't get her way.

Willis then proceeded to try and drive off in the car, almost hitting the best man himself - David's brother Brian - as he tried to stop her from taking his vehicle.

Wedding guests helped wrestle Willis out of the car, who ended up going back inside to drink even more.

'She went back inside. She grabbed up the big bottle of Captain Morgan and just guzzled it like this,' Mrs Butler said, mimicking the way her friend chugged the hard liquor.

The police were finally called when Willis punched Templeton in the face, and he hit her back.

When the police arrived at the scene, Willis claimed she was having a heart attack and then started to shake as if she was suffering a seizure.

Willis was taken to the hospital, where she continued to misbehave - flashing cops, assaulting two medics and kicking over her bed pan.

Mrs Butler, right with her husband, says she has severed her friendship with Willis

After she was discharged from the hospital, police booked her in Charlotte County Jail where she remains behind bars for charges of larceny, battery, grand theft of a motor vehicle and violation of probation.

This is the ninth time that Willis has been arrested in the county.

Mrs Butler says that she has since severed her relationship with her maid of honor.
