A woman in Florida faces charges of attempted murder after allegedly attacking her boyfriend with a machete during a dispute over photos on her cellphone.

Liz Frechel, aged 49, was apprehended on Friday and is currently held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. As reported by Law&Crime, the incident unfolded while Frechel and her boyfriend were dining at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Miami on Thursday night. The boyfriend reportedly discovered images on Frechel’s phone of her in close contact with another man, which included hugging and hand-holding.

Upset by his discovery, the boyfriend left the restaurant abruptly, leaving Frechel behind. He later returned to her apartment intending to return some personal items of hers.

The arrest report states that the boyfriend planned to leave Frechel’s belongings on an external air conditioning unit and then head home. However, he realized he had mistakenly left his car keys with the items, prompting him to return. By that time, Frechel had already retrieved her belongings and taken them inside. When he attempted to enter the apartment, Frechel tried to prevent him by shutting the door.

Once inside, the boyfriend found his keys on her bed. According to police, Frechel then locked him inside the bedroom and allegedly threatened him, saying, “You are not going anywhere, you son of a b—. You’re going to pay.” She then reportedly took a machete from her closet, escalating the confrontation.

The arrest report stated that the boyfriend attempted to grab his keys and make a run for it, but Frechel allegedly swiped the machete at him, slicing his right elbow while she shouted, “I’m going to kill you, you son of a b—!” Fearing for his life, the boyfriend escaped the apartment and ran back to his car. He drove himself to the hospital, where he was treated for a “deep laceration” to his elbow.

Police spoke to another resident of the apartment complex where Frechel lived, who said she heard “a female yelling, items being thrown, and later heard a male crying” before seeing a man run out of Frechel’s apartment. According to the report, police attempted to make contact with Frechel while they were at the apartment, but were unsuccessful.

Officers went back to Frechel’s apartment on Friday to execute a search warrant. Frechel was arrested, and police said she refused to provide a statement after being read her rights. She was charged with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and false imprisonment. Her next court date is scheduled for Nov. 25.
