A 52-year-old woman is facing the consequences after prosecutors say she beat up her 87-year-old boyfriend of 37 years because she thought he cheated.
Regina Soivilien now faces a felony charge of battery on a person over the age of 65, which is punishable by up to five years in prison.
In Miami-Dade bond court, Soivilien's public defender asked the court for a non-monetary bond to secure her release because she does not have a criminal record.
A judge ordered Soivilien to stay at least 500 feet away from her boyfriend, as well as his home, school and workplace, or she faces the risk of violating her bond and being detained.
She would have to pay $5,000 if she violates the conditions under the Pretrial Services.
Soivilien said she will stay with her sister in the meantime while her boyfriend, who sustained bumps and bruises on his face when she allegedly punched him several times, recovers.
