A Spirit Airlines flight attendant has been charged with bashing her boyfriend over the head with a beer bottle for jokingly calling her “a junkie” on a night out at a Funky Buddha Brewery in Florida.
Annie Bryn Flaherty, 36, told officers responding to the Fort Lauderdale brewery last week that her boyfriend “made a joke calling her a junkie” that made her cry — and then “beat her up,” according to a police report obtained by WPLG.
The boyfriend, who was not otherwise identified, admitted calling her a “junkie” — but told a far different story of the violence that followed.
He said the flight attendant reacted to his quip by first dumping a beer over him, then whacking him over the head with a glass beer bottle when they got to the car, the documents show.
Flaherty was arrested and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and booked at the Broward County Jail. She’s since bonded out of jail.
The affidavit listed Flaherty’s employment as a Spirit Airlines flight attendant.
