Woman blames pregnancy, hormones on her attacking fiance

NAPLES - A North Naples pregnant woman is accused of choking her fiancé after he became upset with her for drinking alcohol.

Chelsea Godwin, 23, of the 1000 block of Ridge Street, was arrested Friday by Collier County sheriff's deputies on a charge of domestic battery.

According to a Sheriff's Office report, deputies were finishing an investigation of a theft from a Toys for Tots donation jar at a bowling alley and bar in the 5400 block of U.S. 41 North. They observed a man and woman yelling at each other in front of the bar. Deputies said they intervened when the woman put her hands around the man's neck.

Godwin's fiance told deputies he became upset with Godwin because she had two glasses of wine and tried to take a shot. He said he did not want her drinking because he was in fear for their unborn child's health.

When Godwin bought the shot, her fiancé knocked it out of her hand, causing it to break, according to reports. Witnesses said they saw Godwin become aggressive and attack her fiancé by grabbing him by the neck.

Godwin told deputies she snapped on him because she was pregnant. She also told deputies she blamed not being able to remember the incident clearly as a result of being pregnant and her hormones.
