A Florida woman lost control following a family event and picked up a nearby bottle of hot sauce to attack a teenager and his mother, police said.
According to a Miami Police Department arrest report obtained by Fox News Digital, the female victim got into a verbal dispute with Tracy Lawson, 37, while the pair was celebrating a cousin’s birthday at Da Cave Miami on Tuesday.
Police said that the disagreement continued between the pair on the way home from the cocktail lounge.
Lawson drove home with the victim and her mother, but she began to punch the victim while the victim was driving, police said.
