Casey Anthony Involved in Bar Altercation

Casey Anthony, the woman acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter in 2011 in a case that made national headlines, was involved in an altercation with a woman at a Florida bar "about an ex-boyfriend they were dating at the same time," according to a police report.

The incident took place Sunday at O’Shea’s Irish Pub in West Palm Beach, WKMG reported, citing the West Palm Beach Police Department. The women have reportedly been caught up in an ongoing feud and clashed when they both were in the bar.

As things escalated, the woman spilled water on Anthony's leg, prompting her to demand that the incident be recorded. Police instructed Anthony on how to file a restraining order, but she showed little interest and declined pressing charges, according to the report.

Anthony, 33, shot to tabloid infamy in 2008 when she was arrested on suspicion of child neglect after her 2-year-old daughter Caylee went missing. The child's skeletal remains were later found in a wooded area near the Anthony family's home. Caylee was missing for 31 days and Anthony never reported it to police.

Prosecutors painted Anthony as a cold-blooded killer who murdered her daughter in order to live a single, responsibility-free, party life. She was later indicted on murder charges but acquitted after a six-week trial. For years after the ordeal she lived a life of seclusion, but in 2017 she opened up about Caylee's death, saying she had no idea how her daughter died and had very little recollection of the days and weeks that ensued.

"Everyone has their theories, I don’t know. As I stand here today, I can’t tell you one way or another," she told the Associated Press when asked how Caylee died. "The last time I saw my daughter, I believed that she was alive and was going to be OK, and that’s what was told to me."

Anthony explained that her father was with Caylee and her mother was at work shortly before the little girl went missing. Other than that, she remembered very little, even when she underwent several psychological evaluations.

"Even after everything transpired, even months, even within a year, I don’t have personal knowledge of these things, because, and this isn’t my belief, I read the evaluations. I wasn’t present during whatever happened," she said. "If I was, something would’ve showed up. There would be some recollection; there would be some memory. I was living at home with my parents. What I remember is, every day we had a routine, and whether it was the day I was working or not working, Caylee and I got up and had breakfast, we said goodbye to my mom, between 7 and 7:30."

Anthony added that the last thing she remembered was being in bed, her mother walking into the room to say goodbye before leaving for work, and falling asleep. Several hours later she woke up and Caylee was gone.
