LEE COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — A Florida woman is facing an aggravated battery charge after deputies say she threw a glass jar of Vegenaise mayonnaise at another driver during a road rage incident.
According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Christine Sweet was riding in a vehicle traveling on Corkscrew Road in August when the vehicle cut another driver off.
Deputies say Sweet began yelling profanities at the driver as the vehicle slowed down.
When the two vehicles became parallel, investigators say Sweet escalated the confrontation by throwing a glass bottle of Vegenaise mayonnaise at the other driver.
The bottle struck the victim in the face, causing a laceration under her eye, according to deputies.

She was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, according to the sheriff’s office.
