In Florida, two women face accusations of assaulting a couple with a tequila bottle and attempting to gain access to their vehicle during a violent road rage incident just north of Miami.

Kim Aime, aged 26, is charged with burglary involving assault or battery, two counts of battery, resisting an officer without violence, along with drug-related charges, as per records from the Miami-Dade County jail. Marlene Edward, 25, faces charges of aggravated battery inflicting bodily harm, the same burglary charge with assault or battery, and her own set of drug charges.

According to arrest affidavits acquired by Law&Crime, an incident unfolded just before 1 p.m. on Sunday when a married couple was traveling west on Northeast 167th Street, nearing Northeast 2nd Avenue. It was at this moment they observed a woman driving recklessly, nearly colliding with their vehicle.

Both drivers stopped at the intersection. Aime, at the wheel with Edward as her passenger, halted her car in the middle of traffic, blocking the roadway, authorities reported. This marked the beginning of the ensuing chaos.

Aime allegedly exited her vehicle and approached the couple, still inside their car. She attempted to force her way through the driver’s side window, as the wife, who was the passenger, later demonstrated to law enforcement with a video, according to the affidavit.

While trying to enter the vehicle, Aime reportedly struck the husband, seated in the driver’s seat, multiple times. Following this, both suspects allegedly turned their attention to the wife.

According to authorities, the two women approached the passenger “and began to strike her multiple times,” with Aime hitting her with a closed fist “throughout her body” and Edward “striking her with an empty bottle of Patron tequila as she was on the ground.”

Seeing his wife hurt, the husband reportedly got out of their vehicle and rushed to her defense, but the suspects trained their sights on him. Aime punched him “multiple times in the face” and across his body while Edward hit him in the face with the tequila bottle, the affidavit reads.

They then fled into the parking lot of a nearby 7-Eleven convenience store, with the husband and wife following them. At one point, Aime threw up “both middle fingers” toward the wife.

It is unclear what directly led to the altercation, such as whether the alleged victims and suspects exchanged words or honks of the horn in the immediate moments leading up to the attack.

Officers arrived and noted the alleged victims’ injuries. The wife had “visible blood in her mouth, with a laceration to her lip, along with a knot on the right end of her scalp, and visible swelling on the top of her gums,” the affidavit says. The husband had a cut and blood on his hand, “knots visible on the back of his head,” and cuts on his ankle.

Aime and Edward were arrested at the scene, and their vehicle was searched. The search uncovered two debit cards, neither of them belonging to Aime or Edward, authorities said. Also found were more than 34 grams of cannabis, as well as 3 grams of suspected cocaine.

Edward reportedly claimed that it was the couple who first exited their vehicle and attacked them.

The wife appeared in bond court on Monday and gave more details about her account of the incident. She claimed Aime was the one who “initiated everything.”

“She was the one who came inside our vehicle and pulled basically both of us out of the vehicle,” the woman said, per local CBS affiliates WFOR/WBFS. “She was the one who antagonized the other defendant to hit us with a bottle multiple times and said, ‘You deserve this.’”

“I was trying to understand why they were being so aggressive,” the alleged victim reportedly added. “She basically hit our vehicle twice. It was basically life or death. They could have killed me and my husband.”

Aime and Edward are being held at Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation without bond.
