Rejection Rage

FEBRUARY 13--Upon returning home after an evening of boozing at the bowling alley, Rebecca Duarte “wanted to have sexual intercourse” with her boyfriend, Florida police report.

But when Duarte’s beau refused to engage, a “verbal argument began” late Sunday evening. The man told cops that when he went outside the Fort Pierce residence to “get away from Duarte,” she followed him.

According to an arrest affidavit, Duarte, 23, first “punched out the front glass windows with her hand.” She then allegedly approached her boyfriend and began striking him. After pushing Duarte away, the victim told officers, he walked to a neighbor’s house.

A cop reported observing multiple jalousie windows broken “with shattered glass on the floor.” Additionally, Duarte’s 51-year-old boyfriend had lacerations on his face and shoulder, the affidavit states.

During police questioning, Duarte was “unable to provide a statement” and could not walk without assistance due to her intoxicated state. “Duarte kept saying ‘I want to call my mom,’” cops noted.

Pictured above, Duarte was arrested for domestic battery after investigators found her to be the “primary aggressor” during the 11 PM confrontation. The victim, who did not want Duarte to be charged, “refused to sign paperwork or allow deputies to document pictures of his injuries.”

Duarte is scheduled for a February 20 arraignment on the misdemeanor rap. A judge has ordered her to have no contact with the victim. (2 pages)
