Florida woman attacks driver with bear mace after killing chicken

In Key West, Florida, an unusual road rage incident unfolded on July 9, when Cynthia Diaz Sosa attempted to exact revenge on another driver after the latter struck and killed a chicken that Sosa had stopped to let cross the road. The confrontation began when Perla Vidaure De Miller, who was driving behind Sosa, honked her horn and swerved around Sosa’s vehicle, carelessly running over the chicken. Infuriated, Sosa pursued De Miller in her black Toyota Corolla, blocking her path and trying to open the driver’s side door. During the ensuing struggle, Sosa used bear mace to spray De Miller and her passenger, directly affecting both individuals and causing significant distress. After the incident, Sosa left the scene but was later apprehended by police. Upon her arrest, Sosa faced serious charges, including two counts of aggravated battery and one count of burglary with assault or battery. She was booked into the Monroe County jail and subsequently released on a $35,000 bond. Her arraignment is scheduled for July 24, as she has pleaded not guilty through her attorney. This incident highlights not only the bizarre nature of road rage but also raises questions about personal responsibility for wildlife and the measures individuals are willing to take to express their anger over seemingly trivial matters. Given the escalating nature of the incident, all individuals involved were granted no-contact orders by a judge to ensure safety moving forward.
