Zotie A. Osborne of North Palm Beach, Florida was arrested Tuesday after she was accused of beating a man with a broomstick, news sources report. Two other suspects believed to have taken part in the assault were not identified in reports; it is unclear whether they have been arrested. Osborne, 18, was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of felony battery. She was later granted a supervised release. It is not yet known whether Osborne has hired a criminal defense lawyer.
The victim, who has not been identified in public reports, apparently hired an employee for an unspecified purpose sometime before the incident. Reports did not identify the former employee or say what services he or she performed for the victim. After the employee stopped working for the victim, he or she purportedly claimed that the victim owed the employee's boyfriend money. Based on reports, Osborne and the other two suspects appear to have been friends of the former employee.
On March 3, the victim went to a residence in the 2100 block of Vitex Lane, near PGA Boulevard and US 1, to resolve the issue. The victim exited his car and began walking towards the home, where he was greeted by Osborne and two unidentified accomplices rather than his former employee.
Sources say Osborne and the two accomplices confronted the victim. Osborne allegedly picked up a broomstick and began to bludgeon the victim; the accomplices joined in and began punching and kicking the victim, sources allege. The victim resisted and was able to run to his car, and flee the scene.
