She’s in bubble trouble.
A Florida woman was charged with a felony after allegedly smacking a “large wad” of chewing gum onto a Tesla — causing nearly $3,000 worth of damage, according to Sunshine State authorities.
Yamaris Marrero was initially charged with felony criminal mischief for the sticky antics, which were captured on the car’s built-in cameras on March 22 in the JC Penney parking lot at Aventura Mall in Miami-Dade County, Local 10 News reported.
The act of vandalism reportedly caused a bubble-sized $2,623.66 in damage to the mechanism of the electric car door’s handle.
The owner of the vehicle told Local News 10 that he felt he was being gum-ished due to, “unfortunately, a divide in our country where certain views…are not accepted by a subset,” referencing Tesla founder Elon Musk’s controversial role in the Trump Administration.
Cops cuffed Marrero, 45, of Hallandale Beach, after a mall security guard spotted her in the food court on Thursday, according to a police report obtained by the outlet.
She reportedly admitted to the chewsy crime.
Marrero was reportedly stuck in police custody on $2,500 bond as of Friday.
