TAVARES, Fla.— A situation that started as an argument last week ended in a trip to jail for a Tavares woman after she fled from police, drove through two fences, over a boat and finally into a house — all with two young children in the vehicle, according to documents obtained by Inside Lake.
On June 1, Tavares Police Department responded to a verbal disturbance involving an “ex-girlfriend,” later identified as Myesha Mosley, 22. Prior to their arrival, officers were informed Mosley had left the location in her ex-boyfriend’s black Chevy Trax with her two children, including one she shares with her ex-boyfriend, and the children were not in car seats, according to a TPD report.
When they arrived, a woman related to Mosley’s ex-boyfriend told police Mosley slapped her across the face and smashed her phone; she provided the phone to police and it had a cracked screen, a responding officer noted in his report.
Officer responded to Mosley’s home on Hibiscus Court, and she refused to come to the door. Officers left her residence and when she left the home with her two children a short time later, officers pulled her over on Mansfield Road. They approached the vehicle, and she refused to roll the window down. After asking several times, an officer broke the passenger window with a window punch. With a 6-month-old child in her lap, and a 4-year-old child in the front seat, Mosley took off. She went through one fence, then another fence, ran over a small boat and finally crashed into a home at 1345 County Drive.
Mosley was removed from the vehicle and officers checked the children, who did not appear to be injured, according to the arrest affidavit. While talking to officers, Mosley leaned in close to an officer’s body worn camera and said, “I wanted to (expletive) up his car. His mom scratched my son, yes, yes.”
Mosley was arrested for child abuse, felony criminal mischief, misdemeanor criminal mischief, aggravated flee and elude, resisting arrest and leaving the scene of a crash with property damage. She was released late Tuesday on $21,500 bond.
