Rapping father-to-be hit with tricycle in dreadlock stramash

A pregnant Florida woman accused of pulling the dreadlocks of the father of her child-to-be and hitting him with a tricycle ended up behind bars. Clinda Josaphat, 20, told Fort Pierce police she was doing her child-to-be’s father’s hair on January 19 while he was rapping.

Josaphat said the child-to be’s father, identified by police as the victim, said that since she was not being intimate with him, he was “getting it” elsewhere. Josaphat said she told him she could not have sex on doctor’s orders. She said he picked her up and threw her on a trashcan.



The victim said Josaphat was doing his hair as they talked about their unborn child. He said the altercation started when he said he didn’t want to be in her life but did want to be in his child’s life. Josaphat “kept twisting his dreads tighter and tighter,” eventually hitting him with a tricycle.

A witness said Josaphat “was all over (the victim) pulling his dreads and biting him.” The witness said Josaphat tried to hit him with a tricycle and a rake. The victim had welts on his head from the hair pulling and a bite mark on the back. Josaphat, of Fort Pierce, was arrested on a battery charge.
