It was an anniversary to remember.

A woman got upset with her boyfriend on the couple's special day, so, deputies say, she tried to run him over with her car.

Lisa Joy De Lapi, 28, missed him, but drove over his bicycle and then intentionally rammed his parked car, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office report.

It was just after 4 p.m. Monday when someone called police to report that De Lapi, driving a red Pontiac, was trying to run over a man at the intersection of Alcazar Street and Infanta Avenue in Royal Palm Beach.

Deputies tracked her down less than a mile away, as she walked down the 100 block of Madrid Street. De Lapi confessed to the crime, telling them she was mad at her boyfriend because it was their anniversary, according to the report.

He "set her off," so she tried to run him over, she explained to deputies. She confessed to driving over his bike and then crashing into his car, which was parked in the driveway of his house on the 200 block of Ponce De Leon Drive, just about a half mile away.

Deputies found De Lapi's 27-year-old boyfriend at his home. He told them she ran over his bike and hit his car because she was upset, the report said.

De Lapi, of Royal Palm Beach, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a weapon and damaging property. State records show she was sentenced in 2009 to a pretrial diversion program after being charged with criminal mischief in Palm Beach County.

De Lapi was also charged with shoplifting in 2011.

After her arrest Monday, she spent a few hours behind bars at the Palm Beach County Jail and was released early Tuesday without bail, according to county records.

She could not be reached for comment on the ordeal, despite calls.
