Coral Springs woman faces aggravated battery charges after violent argument over a meal turns dangerous
Coral Springs, Florida – A domestic dispute over a meal in Coral Springs escalated into a violent altercation, resulting in the arrest of a 43-year-old woman for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. The incident occurred in the early morning hours of February 27 at an apartment, where tensions flared after the woman’s boyfriend refused to eat the meal she had prepared for him.
According to the police report, the argument began when the boyfriend, sitting in the living room, declined to eat the food. In response, Auguste slapped him in the face, initiating a heated exchange. As the argument progressed into the kitchen, the confrontation grew more intense. The boyfriend confronted her about the slap, but things took a dangerous turn when Auguste grabbed an eight-inch kitchen knife.
Reports state that the woman lunged at her boyfriend, attempting to strike him with the knife. The boyfriend tried to defend himself, but during the struggle, he sustained a two-inch cut to his arm. At this point, the man’s cousin, who was present at the scene, called 911 to report the escalating situation.
Before Coral Springs Police could arrive, Auguste fled the apartment and attempted to hide in the bushes of a neighboring building. Officers quickly located her, and she was arrested without further incident. The boyfriend, who suffered a minor injury, was treated at a local hospital and later released.
During questioning, Auguste denied attacking her boyfriend with the knife, offering a different version of the events. She claimed that instead of a knife, she had used a napkin holder in the altercation. However, the police report contradicted her statement, and she was subsequently charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Auguste was taken into custody and booked into the Broward County Jail, where she remains as of the latest reports. The case highlights the serious consequences that can arise from domestic disputes, with even seemingly minor disagreements turning violent.
