In a release, deputies said they responded to a vandalism call overnight along Gramercy Drive in Deltona about a “young woman spray-painting a vehicle.”
Upon arrival to the area, deputies found a woman — later identified as Evelina Fabianski, 18 — and a 16-year-old girl, the latter of whom had yellow spray paint on her sweatpants, investigators added.
“When questioned, the 18-year-old admitted she was upset with her ex-boyfriend and decided to spray-paint and throw eggs at what she thought was his vehicle,” the release reads. “Unfortunately, the vehicle in question belonged to a neighbor, not her ex-boyfriend.”
According to the arrest affidavit, Fabianski told deputies that her ex-boyfriend owed her around $700, which is what spurred the act of vengeance.
However, it turned out that the car’s actual owner had just parked across the street, leading to the misunderstanding, the affidavit reveals. The damage to the car reportedly tallied up to an estimated $5,000.
