The details

Djan then allegedly moved toward the driver's side, yelling expletives when Minervini lowered the window, before continuing to walk eastbound on Glades Road. Minervini then drove to a nearby fire station, where she noticed a dent on her 2025 Honda Civic and contacted the police. Officers estimated the damage at $300.

  • The incident occurred around 12:18 p.m. on February 12, 2026 at the intersection of East Glades Road and North Dixie Highway in Boca Raton, Florida.
