A Lady Lake woman swerves her Mercedes convertible at two cyclists and later tells arresting officers she soiled herself during the struggle.

Jill Allison Vernon, 58, allegedly swerved her white Mercedes convertible at cyclists Adam Dennis and Dorothea Bower on Conservation Trail near Lady Lake on March 22, 2026, nearly clipping Dennis's leg before accelerating backward toward both riders and forcing them into a driveway. When deputies came to arrest her, Vernon resisted and told officers she needed a bathroom, later saying she had soiled herself during the struggle. She pleaded no contest to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 150 hours of community service, with body camera footage of the arrest released publicly.
