A woman terrorized her ex-boyfriend, first by throwing around his clothes during an argument, then stopping him from leaving her apartment, choking him with his gold chain, demanding that he hit her so that she have bruises, and finally, siccing her pit bull “Wasabi” on him to bloody effect, according to authorities in Florida.
Jennifer Estella Flores, 34, was locked up at the Flagler County Jail on Monday.
Partially redacted affidavits viewed by Law&Crime claim that an officer was performing speed enforcement in the 4600 block of E. Moody Blvd. at approximately 12:36 a.m.
The victim — covered in blood and “deep laceration marks” on both forearms — parked his car next to the officer, stepped out, and ran for the patrol vehicle. He told the deputy his ex-girlfriend had her dog attack him in her nearby apartment.
According to documents, the man said that Flores, his ex, contacted him earlier in the day to come over. They were no longer in a relationship, having been together for eight years and “lived together as a family unit approximately 3 years ago,” but they still “mess around” in a sexual manner, state records.
This time, however, things took a turn for the violent.
“He stated that Jennifer was ‘drunk’ and kept bringing up his other relationships as she got on top of him, straddling him in the bed,” authorities wrote. “During the verbal argument, she got off him, picking up his clothes from the floor and threw them into her bathroom.”
The man went to grab his things so he could leave, but the defendant allegedly prevented him from going, and she choked him with the gold chain around his neck.
Flores allegedly backed off and took off her shirt.
“[The ex-boyfriend] stated that she told him to hit her so she could have bruises also,” deputies wrote.
Grabbing his clothes with one hand, and shoving her to the side with the other, he tried to exit, according to an affidavit.
“[The man] then stated Jennifer told her dog, a black Pitbull named ‘Wasabi’ to ‘get him,’” documents stated.
She allegedly grabbed the man, and the pit bull began attacking his arms and legs, leaving a lot of blood in the living room.
The victim said he could not feel his arm because of the dog attack. He could not write a statement because of his injuries.
Law enforcement described a contentious scenario as they arrived at Flores’ nearby apartment. First, she exited, then returned again, and did not answer as they announced themselves. There remained no answer even after a deputy tried to make contact through the sliding glass door in the back.
“Jennifer eventually came to the front door only covered in a blue blanket,” they wrote. “Jennifer was extremely argumentative and kept talking over law enforcement.”
She allegedly mentioned she was drinking.
As authorities tried to tell her why they were there, she refused to talk and tried to walk back inside, according to documents. An officer stopped her by grabbing her arm, they said.
Authorities tried to have her put her clothes on, but she kept speaking over them, documents said.
She finally denied touching her ex, and she kept interrupting the official trying to read her Miranda rights, they wrote.
Flores allegedly did not quit talking even after they turned her over to jail deputies.
Investigators claimed to find blood spatter all over the bottom of the front door. There was also blood on the living room floor and rubbing alcohol near the blood. A black pit bull was locked in a cage near the front door.
She is held on a $50,000 bond, charged with a total of three counts of false imprisonment and count each of domestic – aggravated battery and domestic – aggravated strangulation. Two of those false imprisonment counts are from her allegedly locking two people, including her son, in a bathroom amid law enforcement responding to the apartment.
