A Florida man is behind bars after crashing a wedding where he allegedly assaulted the bride and pushed her to the ground, according to FOX 35.
According to an arrest affidavit from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office obtained by FOX 35, Rontae Stokes, 45, was arrested and charged with five counts of felony battery and one count of criminal mischief after the incident that unfolded at an event hall in Largo on Saturday night.
Stokes, who was a guest at the wedding, got into a verbal altercation with the bride and allegedly pushed her to the ground.
The relationship between Stokes’ and the bride was not made immediately clear in the affidavit, nor was the reason for their exchange. However, the affidavit does state that there was evidence that the influence of alcohol played a factor in the altercation.
