ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – An Orlando woman was taken into custody early Tuesday morning after she drove into a man whom she thought was speaking with her girlfriend, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
In an arrest affidavit, deputies said they responded to 5300 Pointe Vista Circle shortly before 3 a.m. after being called about a hit-and-run.

Upon arrival, the responding deputy wrote he found an SUV with a missing tire parked over the curb.
The deputy said he then spoke with the driver — identified as 22-year-old Winny Exume — and the victim, who claimed he’d been hanging out a group of his friends.
During the conversation, the deputy learned that Exume had approached the victim and accused him of “trying to talk to her girlfriend,” the affidavit shows.
“(The victim) advised he never tried to speak to her in a romantic (way) and that he just wants to keep hanging out with everyone,” the affidavit reads. “Winny began to argue with (the victim) while getting into her vehicle.”
Exume reportedly began yelling “I’m going to kill you” as she got into the SUV, and once in the driver’s seat, she stated, “If you don’t move out of the way, I’m going to hit you,” the affidavit states.
Afterward, Exume reversed out of the parking lot before putting the SUV in drive and accelerating toward the victim, hitting both him and two other parked vehicles before fleeing, the deputy added.
Exume was later arrested and now faces charges of aggravated battery with a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of a hit-and-run crash with property damage.
