A woman from Florida is now facing charges after causing quite a stir for allegedly using bear mace on a driver and her passenger in an unusual road rage incident that involved a chicken crossing the road.

According to police, 38-year-old Cynthia Valeska Díaz Sosa was arrested July 9 in Key West after a confrontation with another driver, Perla DeMiller.

Sosa had reportedly halted her vehicle on the roadway to allow a chicken to cross, but DeMiller, who was driving a car behind Sosa, honked, maneuvered around her, and ended up hitting the bird, as reported by Key West police.

That’s when things turned “fowl.”

Police later identified and stopped Sosa’s black Toyota Corolla, detaining her at the scene. She was searched in front of a patrol vehicle before being transported, according to the arrest affidavit. Sosa was subsequently taken to the Key West Police station lobby, where she voluntarily provided a statement to officers.

Court records obtained by Fox News Digital indicate that Sosa has filed a written plea of “not guilty” through her attorney, Dustin Hunter. Hunter did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

DeMiller, who was en route to pick up her child from daycare, was reportedly blinded and disoriented by the spray. A passenger in her car was also allegedly affected by the mace. All of those involved in the incident are now protected under no-contact orders issued by a judge.

“As the women struggled over the car door, Sosa unleashed bear mace into the vehicle, hitting DeMiller directly in the face,” the arrest report states. Sosa later drove herself to the police station and allegedly told authorities that she was “angry that DeMiller had killed a chicken,” according to the arrest report. 

The same document also says Sosa afterward “got back into her car and drove off.”

She was later located and detained during a traffic stop, the affidavit states, after her vehicle was identified and spotted by officers.

Sosa remains free under surety bond with court-imposed restrictions. Her arraignment is scheduled for July 24.
