The wife of the mayor of Islamorda, who says she was informed by employees that her husband was having an affair, confronted him and his alleged mistress and attacked her husband with a golf cart.
You know what they say: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and rolling quietly at 12-14 miles per hour.
Islamorada resident Anna Marie Reckwerdt, 41, has been charged with battery and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after the incident about 10 p.m. Saturday night.
Reckwerdt arrived at the Overseas Highway business, Robbie's Marina, that she owns with her husband, to find him sitting with a woman who manages the Hungry Tarpon Restaurant on the marina property -- the same woman with whom Reckwerdt says multiple employees told her he was having an affair.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office says Reckwerdt struck Michael Reckwerdt on the head, cutting him with a ring on her finger. She then told the restaurant manager she was fired.
As the confronted pair walked away, Reckwerdt followed them in her golf cart, screaming at the woman again that she was fired.
Then, according to the deputies, she allegedly rammed her husband with the cart, knocking him to the ground and injuring his leg.
