A teenager from Florida has found herself in legal trouble after reportedly using a shovel to damage a police car, incurring repairs costing several hundred dollars and facing a felony charge as a consequence.

On November 3, officers from the Port St. Lucie Police Department were dispatched to a residence on the 1400 block of Bartell Avenue following reports of a domestic disturbance, as stated by local authorities.

Upon their arrival, officers discovered 15-year-old Amy Chance standing in the roadway, holding a shovel in her hands, officials reported.

Body camera footage from the police captures Chance purportedly redirecting her focus to the patrol car and forcefully striking its hood multiple times with the shovel.

As officers exit the vehicle, they can be heard telling Chance to “put the shovel down,” before ordering the teen to “get on the ground.”
