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.
