FLORIDA WOMAN, 26, DETAINED AFTER ALLEGEDLY DESTROYING HER EX-BOYFRIEND’S TRUCK BY FILLING IT WITH 800 POUNDS OF RAW SHRIMP DURING A HEATWAVE
DAYTONA BEACH, FL — A Florida woman has gone massively viral after police say she spent days secretly turning her ex-boyfriend’s pickup truck into what neighbors described as “a biological seafood weapon.”
According to investigators, 26-year-old Brianna Foster allegedly bought nearly 800 pounds of discounted raw shrimp from multiple seafood markets before stuffing them inside the bed, toolboxes, wheel wells, and air vents of her ex-boyfriend’s black Ford F-250.
Police say she then allegedly moved the truck into direct sunlight and left it untouched for four straight days while temperatures reached 97 degrees.
Residents at the apartment complex reportedly began calling police after “an apocalyptic smell” spread across the parking lot.
One neighbor told officers:
“It smelled like a fishing pier crashed into a landfill.”
Another claimed:
“The flies were so bad people thought there was a body in the truck.”
According to police reports:
* maggots allegedly appeared inside the cab by day three
* tow truck drivers refused to move the vehicle
* and the truck’s insurance adjuster reportedly called it “the worst odor-related damage” he had ever inspected
The ex-boyfriend allegedly discovered the truck after returning from a weekend trip and initially believed someone had dumped chemicals inside it.
Investigators claim Foster carried out the revenge plot after learning her ex had started dating a woman he previously described as “just a coworker.”
Authorities also say detectives found internet searches on her phone including:
* “how fast does shrimp rot in Florida”
* “can smell soak into seat foam forever”
* and “is revenge considered vandalism if it’s seafood”
The story exploded online after photos leaked to social media.
“One of the most committed revenge operations in Florida history,” one viral comment read.
Another wrote:
“She weaponized Red Lobster.”
Police confirmed the truck was later declared a total loss because the odor could not be removed.📰📰
