Florida woman spray-paints wrong car while trying to get back at ex-boyfriend: ‘Devil’
Maybe next time she’ll think before she sprays.
A Florida woman is accused of spray-painting hateful messages, including “Devil,” on a car she thought belonged to her ex-boyfriend as part of a deranged plot to settle a debt worth less than $1,000.
Evelina Fabianski, 18, tried to get back at her past love when she and her 16-year-old friend mistakenly egged and spray-painted a neighbor’s car in Deltona, Fla., on Feb. 26, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.
“Oops, wrong car,” police quipped on Facebook.
Fabianski vandalized the black Infinity over a debt worth $700, according to WKMG
The messy aftermath included smashed eggs and eggshells running down the windshield and driver’s side door while the bright yellow lettering and smiley face emojis defaced the vehicle’s body.
Bodycam footage obtained by the outlet captured the moment police confronted the brazen duo while Fabianski’s alleged accomplice tried to walk away from any wrongdoing.
“I’m not involved,” the teen yelled out.
Deputies claimed that the teen was “covered head to toe” in yellow paint.
“You really need to try harder to be sneaky because you are god awful,” police told Fabianski and her pal. “You guys spray-painted the wrong damn car.”
Deputies reported that they saw the two teens driving with open containers of Four Loko in “plain view” along with an empty Crown Royal bottle, over 20 grams of marijuana and a can of yellow spray paint.
Four Loko is an alcoholic beverage with an ABV that ranges from 8% to 14%.
Fabianski was arrested when she confessed to the embarrassing act.
Fabianski was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail on Wednesday morning and released later that afternoon, records show.
She was charged with criminal mischief, contributing to the delinquency of a child, possession of alcohol by a person under 21 and driving under the influence.
“If it was her ex-boyfriend, how on earth did she not know what kind of car he drives? Embarrassing SMH,” one person commented under the Volusia Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook post.
“Now we all know why she’s an ex-girlfriend,” another quipped.

Cuba says 4 killed after speedboat from Florida opened fire in Cuban waters
Trump threatens tariffs on countries that supply oil to Cuba
Trump warned Cuba to reach an agreement with the U.S. after signing an executive order to impose tariffs on countries that supply the island with oil.
HAVANA (Reuters) – Four people were killed and seven others were wounded on Feb. 25 after a speedboat from Florida entered Cuban waters and opened fire on Cuban forces, who returned fire, Cuba’s Interior Ministry said.
All four dead were aboard the Florida-based speedboat, and another six were injured, Cuba said. In addition, the Cuban commander of border patrol boat was wounded, Cuba said.
The wounded foreign attackers were evacuated and received medical attention, Cuba said.
The incident took place amid heightened tension between Cuba and the United States, which has blocked virtually all oil shipments to the island, increasing pressure on the Communist-run government. American forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas on Jan. 3, removing a key Cuban ally from power.
“Faced with the current challenges, Cuba reaffirms its commitment to protecting its territorial waters, based on the principle that national defense is a fundamental pillar for the Cuban state in safeguarding its sovereignty and stability in the region,” the Cuban statement said.
