A teenager in Florida has been taken into custody, accused of attacking a police vehicle with a shovel and inflicting damage worth hundreds of dollars, leading to a felony charge.

On November 3, officers from the Port St. Lucie Police Department were dispatched following reports of a disturbance at a residence located on the 1400 block of Bartell Avenue, officials reported.

When they arrived, the police found 15-year-old Amy Chance standing in the street, holding a shovel, according to law enforcement officials.

Authorities, reacting to a call about a domestic disturbance, encountered Amy Chance, 15, who allegedly began assaulting their cruiser with a shovel in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on November 3, 2025.

Body camera footage from the police captured Chance allegedly redirecting her focus to the officers’ car and repeatedly striking its hood with the shovel.
