A 30-year-old woman found herself inside a Florida jail cell Thursday night after police said she assaulted a man who refused to have sex with her.
Authorities said that Rebecca Lynn Phelps from Pasco County was charged with battery after she reportedly struck a male acquaintance in the face after he declined her offer for intercourse.
An affidavit chronicling the incident said that officers were dispatched to Phelps’ New Port Richey home around 2am after receiving a disturbance call.

Phelps and her male companion were reportedly intoxicated when Phelps ‘started to get mad with the victim because he did not want to have sexual relations with her’.
Phelps then allegedly ‘started to scream and smack the victim,’ at one point scratching him so violently she was able to draw blood on his right arm.
Police said that the victim’s skin was still underneath Phelps’ fingernails when authorities performed an examination.
Phelps denied assaulting the man later during interrogation, saying that ‘nothing happened’ and was clueless as to why her drinking partner was bleeding.
A witness inside the residence, who did not see the alleged altercation, said he heard the victim yell during the confrontation: ‘Please stop hitting me.’
The plea was followed by a loud smack, according to the witness.
Phelps was arrested for misdemeanor battery and placed on $500 bond. The judge also placed a restraining order against Phelps, ordering her not to go near the victim.
