Maid of honour tries to steal best man's car at friend's wedding

SHE was the maid of dishonour.

A Florida woman has been arrested after allegedly punching a guest and nearly running over the best man in a drunken tantrum at her best friend’s wedding in Florida.

Bride Jennifer Butler says she’s now estranged from maid of honour Amanda Willis after the January 6 showdown, NBC2 reports.

Mrs Butler said Willis downed a bottle of Fireball cinnamon-flavoured whiskey within 20 minutes of arriving at the reception and began asking guests for their car keys.

Guest Robert Templeton said Willis snatched the keys from best man Brian Butler’s pocket before making off in his car.

When Mr Butler grabbed on to the rear of the vehicle, Willis nearly backed over him.

“She took off, and his feet were dragging across the ground. He had to hit the E-brake,” Mr Templeton said.

Guests dragged Willis out of the car before she “grabbed up the big bottle of Captain Morgan and just guzzled it,” Mrs Butler said.

Willis then allegedly punched Mr Templeton.

“As soon as I turned around, she came up and cracked me upside of the face,” he said.

When police arrived, Willis said she was having an asthma attack and began shaking like she was having a seizure, NBC2 reports.

Police said they took her hospital where she exposed herself, assaulted two medics and kicked over her bed pan.

Willis faces charges of larceny, battery, grand theft of a motor vehicle, and violation of probation.
