Wedding crasher: Florida man allegedly attacks bride, guests only to land in jail

A wedding reception in Florida took a negative turn Saturday night, after a man was arrested for allegedly pushing the bride to the ground and attacking a few other guests.

A Florida man is behind bars after crashing a wedding where he allegedly assaulted the bride and pushed her to the ground, according to FOX 35.

According to an arrest affidavit from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office obtained by FOX 35, Rontae Stokes, 45, was arrested and charged with five counts of felony battery and one count of criminal mischief after the incident that unfolded at an event hall in Largo on Saturday night. 

Stokes, who was a guest at the wedding, got into a verbal altercation with the bride and allegedly pushed her to the ground. 

The relationship between Stokes' and the bride was not made immediately clear in the affidavit, nor was the reason for their exchange. However, the affidavit does state that there was evidence that the influence of alcohol played a factor in the altercation.

The affidavit also accuses Stokes of grabbing a ceramic lawn chair and throwing it into a glass door, which resulted in a broken chair leg and nearly $800 in damage to the property. 

Records state that Stokes was then escorted out of the building, but allegedly attacked multiple wedding guests with his hands and feet, including his mother, niece, brother-in-law and another guest on his way out of the venue.
