McDowell said she saw her 26-year-old boyfriend (pictured together, January 2017) dancing and kissing another woman, 25-year-old Crystal Munoz, on the dance floor. She allegedly threw a drink on both of them and punched Munoz in the left eye. She then ran to the women’s restroom to hide in a stall
She subsequently walked up to them and allegedly threw a drink on both of them and punched Munoz in the left eye. She then ran to the women’s restroom to hide in a stall.
However, several bridesmaids ‘pulled her out of the stall by her feet and they began to punch her’, according to her arrest report.
Resort manager Kevin Amico said he and Hammock resort security entered the bathroom and saw McDowell allegedly on top of Munoz.
Amico said McDowell was on top of Munoz, punching her, and Munoz was covering her face to protect herself. In security officer Pasquale Vallone’s description, he saw ‘two women grabbing and swinging fists at each other.’
Other guests and Hammock resort security broke up the fight.
