WINTER HAVE, Fla. – A Winter Haven woman was arrested after road rage led her to pull a gun on a victim and threaten to kill her.
On Wednesday at approximately 7:54 a.m., 25-year-old Bonita Adams of Winter Haven was traveling along 6th St. SE when she believed another driver cut her off after turning onto 6th St. from Ave. O SE.

Adams pointed her .380 handgun at the victim’s face and stated that if the driver ever cut her off again, she would “find her and kill her.”
The victim’s 12-year-old child was also in the vehicle and witnessed the incident.
