An 80-year-old woman from Florida found herself behind bars after an altercation in a Walmart parking lot that ended with her striking another driver in the face, as reported by local law enforcement.

Linda Montan Frenier faces charges, including one count of sudden snatching robbery, identified as a felony, and battery, classified as a misdemeanor, as detailed in the Orange County court documents examined by Law&Crime.

This incident took place on June 30 at the Walmart situated on South Orange Blossom Trail in Apopka, a town within the greater Orlando metropolitan area.

On the afternoon in question, an officer arrived at the parking lot in response to a call about a battery, according to an arrest affidavit.

“I met with the victim who was standing by her vehicle,” the officer wrote in the law enforcement narrative. “The victim stated that she was driving northbound through the Walmart parking lot. The victim had stopped at the stop sign directly behind Linda Frenier”s vehicle to check her phone’s GPS for directions. While at the stop sign, Frenier attempted to reverse out of her parking spot and struck the passenger-side door of the victim’s vehicle.”

But the defendant did not apologize for the mishap, the alleged victim said. Instead, she appeared to blame the other driver.

Frenier “exited her vehicle and started cursing” at the other driver and her brother, according to the affidavit. Then, the other driver got out of her car as well – asking the defendant to calm down and provide her insurance for the crash. These requests allegedly set the defendant off again.

“Frenier said, ‘I’m not giving you s–––, b––––,'” the officer’s narrative continues. “The victim tried to calm down Frenier and proceeded to walk away from her. Frenier approached the victim and got in her face and made a gesture as if she was going to hit the victim in the face. Frenier then slapped the victim on the left side of her face without her permission.”

After the alleged slap, Frenier allegedly grabbed the other woman’s cellular phone out of her right hand, the affidavit claims.

“After Frenier grabbed the cellphone, she threw it across the street, temporarily depriving the victim of its use,” the court document goes on. “The victim wished to prosecute.”

Then, the responding officer spoke to a third woman, a witness, who said she watched the altercation unfold from nearby Steak ‘n Shake.

The officer wrote that the witness said “she saw Frenier slap the victim across the face, snatch her phone, and throw it across the street.”
