A 21-year-old Floridian’s belligerent outburst landed her in handcuffs after she reportedly shoved a grandmother she claimed was staring at her.
In newly unearthed police body camera footage, an intoxicated woman named Ashley was documented having a nonsensical tantrum from the time she was arrested on Clearwater Beach until she was taken to the Pinellas County Jail.
The chaos began with Ashley claiming she was punched in the face by a woman sitting near her at the beach, but she could not provide any explanation as to why.
‘This is f*cking b*llsh*t she punched me in my motherf*cking face and I’m pressing charges on her a**,’ Ashley explained to a police officer who told her to calm down several times.
She added: ‘She came up to me and had a problem and then I got up…I’m the least confrontable person.’
Ashley claimed she did not hit the woman back.
Later on, details emerged that Ashley started cursing and screaming at the family sitting next to her at the beach because she believed they were looking at her.
In reality, the group was only trying to keep an eye on their children playing in the water.

At first, the situation appeared to be relatively calm, but Ashley was seen becoming an increasingly agitated, prompting police to place her in handcuffs.
‘She doesn’t like police,’ Ashley’s sister told police during the encounter, which took place in 2022 but has just come to light.
The reportedly drunk woman was taken into a police car – in her bikini and with no shoes – as she continued yelling at the police.
Meanwhile, cops interviewed the grandmother on the other end of the altercation, who did not press any charges on Ashley.
‘I don’t like drama like this, I’m just protecting my grandkids,’ the victim said.
Police calmly told Ashley’s sister and step-brother that they would be able to bail her out of jail in a few short hours.
Even though the woman did not press charges, police said in the body camera footage that they arrested her on a misdemeanor disorderly intoxication charge for how she behaved.
But the situation only continued to escalate, based on the footage of Ashley inside of the cop car.
Ashley accused on of the officers of ‘manhandling’ her and said she wanted to take him to court

While she was acting rowdy, the police officer said he was going to call her parents – which set the emotionally distressed woman off.
‘My parents are f*cking dead!’ she screamed multiple times while sobbing.
‘I did CPR on my parents, don’t even try me…Do CPR on your f*cking dead mom and tell me how you feel after that!’
‘The b*tch punched me in the face,’ she reiterated during her tangent.
‘Take me to jail, I’m tired of sitting her, these handcuffs hurt!’
As the police officer kept trying to keep her relaxed, his efforts only seemed to make her even more upset.
She screamed at the police officer: ‘I hope you get molested and shot in the face.’
‘Molested?’ he responded. ‘You hope I get molested? That’s wrong.’

‘I think you really care about me deep down inside,’ the police officer joked with Ashley as she continued to freak out.
There was a sudden pivot in Ashley’s mood, as she shifted from angry to sad and fearful.
‘My life is over,’ Ashley said through tears.
‘It’s not over,’ the police officer reassured her.
After feeling momentary regret, Ashley seemingly turned her attention to the other officer who arrested her on the beach.
‘Hello, hi. I hope his a** loses his job. I got punched in the face and I’m getting taken to jail hello,’ she said before blowing kisses into the camera and sticking out her tongue.
‘I hope his a** goes to jail ’cause I’m taking you guys to court. Yes I am. Take me to jail, you think I give a f*ck if I go to jail? My whole family went to jail, you think I give a f*ck?’
The woman she shoved said she was protecting her grandchildren and did not want any drama
She started violently kicking the car door and the screen enclosure keeping her away from the cop driving the car, who she called ‘entitled.’
‘You think I have anything to live for? I don’t,’ she shouted in between kicks.
Mid-tantrum, the police officer opened the door and took her out of the car while she started crying again.
The officer she accused of ‘manhandling’ her appeared and she grew angry once again.
‘Don’t touch me!’ she said during her fit.
On her way into another police vehicle, she allegedly kicked one of the officers as she loudly and aggressively tried resisting them.
Later on, she revisited her early concerns about her life being negatively impacted by her arrest: ‘I was going to school for veterinarian, that’s all done for me.’
The woman was taken to county jail after her outburst, according to the body camera footage
The police officer was heard coaching her on how to behave in front of the judge before Ashley joked: ‘I’m smiling in my mugshot.’
In the final clip of the 30-minutes of footage posted by Police Watch on YouTube, Ashley was boarding the final vehicle to take her to the county jail – the officers wished her luck.
It is unclear what occurred after Ashley arrived at the jail. DailyMail.com has reached out to Pinellas County Jail and the Clearwater Police Department.
