DELRAY BEACH -- A Boynton Beach woman was arrested on Wednesday after she got into a fight with her girlfriend in her Delray Beach home, and threw the woman's pet hamster from a third-floor balcony.

Breana Shakari Smith, 19, is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail in lieu of $3,000 bond. She is facing charges for battery and animal cruelty.

Smith was arrested Wednesday morning shortly after a Delray Beach Police officer was dispatched to the 600 block of Auburn Avenue to reports of a domestic fight at 10:37 a.m.

When the officer arrived, 19-year-old Krystina Shanice Sears said she had a fight with her girlfriend, Smith, and that Smith had thrown Sears' pet hamster "Boobie" from the balcony of her third-floor apartment, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Sears added that during the argument, Smith had thrown a vase that had fallen on her feet and shattered, the affidavit stated. Sears also said that Smith then grabbed Boobie from his cage and tried throwing him out the window. When the window screen prevented her from doing so, Smith picked Boobie up and ran to the balcony where she threw him out, the affidavit stated.

The officer noted in the affidavit that Boobie was crawling in circles, which meant that he had an internal or head injury because his equilibrium was off. When the officer picked him up, Boobie's right front leg was twisted under his body and was "shaking violently."

When asked if she threw Boobie from the balcony, Smith said, "Yes, I was mad," according to the affidavit.
