A Florida woman has been arrested and charged with battery after Rep. Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, told law enforcement she threw a glass of wine at him and doused his shoulder Saturday evening during a wine and food festival in Miramar Beach, Florida, according to Walton County Police.
The woman, 41-year-old Selena J. Chambers, "was arrested after it was found she intentionally threw a glass of wine at Representative Gaetz after shouting obscenities at him," the Walton County Police said. A police report indicated that alcohol appeared to be a factor in the incident.
Chambers, the police report said, faces two counts of battery, including one count of felony battery on an elected official. Police said she was released on $1,000 bond the following day.
