OCALA, Fla. —A 92-year-old woman was arrested on charges that she fired shots into a home after a man inside denied her a kiss.
Police said 53-year-old Dwight Bettner told neighbor Helen Staudinger, 92, to leave his home. She said she would only leave if he kissed her, but left angry when the man refused, telling her “get your [expletive] out my house.”
“She appeared to have the impression that there was a relationship between them,” police said in an arrest report.
The man told police investigators that he was talking on the phone in his bedroom when Staudinger fired the first in a series of shots from a handgun.
“The defendant said she came home, got her gun, and went back to shoot his car that he loved so much,” the police report said.
Police said Staudinger fired from her property and aimed at the victim’s carport, but hit the house four times instead.
