Holly Highfield Hits, Strips, and Runs
August 12, 2008 by Lizard
Jacksonville, FL - There’s something in the water, isn’t there? Or perhaps the media scrutiny of the Anthony family is pushing many Floridians over the edge? Causing them to, say, drive while under the influence? With children in the car? And intentionally hit a bicyclist? And top off the act by stripping butt naked and running around the scene of the crash?
Wait, it gets better. But let me back up a little here. SundaySunday reviews
evening about 8:00, Holly Kay Highfield was driving along with several children in her white Honda SUV. One news account says three children, another says four. One of those children, a 14-year-old Boy Scout by the name of Terrell Jones, was able to later recount how Highfield’s Honda wound up on the side of the road with the hood bashed in and Highfield earned herself a trip to jail. As the 34-year-old was driving along, she turned to the children and asked something along the lines of, “Do you think this biker is going to get hit? Do you have faith? Are you afraid?” I guess these kids are worried about their lack of faith now, because Highfield then steered her SUV across the street and into a 55-year-old woman on a bicycle.
When a couple of good Samaritans pulled over to see if they could help the downed bicyclist, Highfield left her SUV and entered their car, ordering them to drive her away. Meanwhile, our Boy Scout Terrell Jones was getting the kids out of the Honda, which was a good thing, because after being refused by the folks in Carcar reviews #1, Highfield ran to Bystander Car #2, pulled the driver out, and crashed that car into her SUV. Her attempt to flee the scene fizzled when she ran the “borrowed” car into a fence.
Newsnews
accounts disagree on at what point in the sequence of events Highfield started shucking her clothes–before or after crashing Car #2–but it seems clear that she stripped down while running in circles. Maybe she thought this would make her invisible. However, the cops could see her just fine, although it did take several of them to subdue all 110 pounds of her. When they got her into the cop car, she kicked a female officer trying to cover her with a sheet and later pissed in the back of the car.
Highfield was taken to Shands-Jacksonville Medical Center for observation. I guess they “observed her” to be okay, as the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office’s Web site shows her to currently be housed in the pretrial detention facility. Looks like she’ll need to pony up the unlikely amount of $100,003 before she can grace residents of the area with the sight of her bare ass again. She faces a number of charges, including battery, carjacking, DUI while accompanied by a minor, and DUI while causing damage to property.
The bicyclist was transported to the hospital with injuries that are said to not be life-threatening. No word on the children, although one witness reported that two of the children were Highfield’s.

Wow.
Just wow.
6:36 am on August 12th, 2008
Wha wha what? What is going on? Is it me or have my peeps from the Sunshine State gone mad? I am speechless.
I guess I could scrap my invisibility theory – nakedness DOES NOT make you invisible. Neither does running around real fast while naked. Bummer..

Holy crow, what a complete idiot! Glad the kids are ok, (well, relatively ok, as two of them are Her kids).
And damn, it Doesn’t make you invisible?

I have been noticing this myself…as a native Floridian… i am getting embarassed. And it seems to be central and south Florida mainly…and where do I live? Central Florida? yup.This woman is nuts…
10:25 am on August 12th, 2008
Now with talking pictures!
10:32 am on August 12th, 2008
Oh. My. Goodness.
Speechless.
11:19 am on August 12th, 2008
I think they were very generous of them calling that assemblage of splinters a fence.
She appeared to be on some sort of drugs? ya think?

And I thought MY mom was embarrassing.
11:47 am on August 12th, 2008
Your mom rocked it. Tell ‘em the urine sample story sometime.
11:48 am on August 12th, 2008
Sweet fancy Moses, what will we do with all the technology?
12:01 pm on August 12th, 2008
And to think my 13 year old gets embarrassed when I sing! Maybe I’ll have to try running around her school drop off area naked. EEEEWWWW!
12:17 pm on August 12th, 2008
Great write up Lizard! As sickening as it is, I was laughing to myself and glad I wasn’t eating an early lunch while reading this!
12:51 pm on August 12th, 2008

My brother lives in Jacksonville. He loves it there (NOT!) because of the people and the fantastic culture.
Generally speaking, its citizens love G.W. Bush and completely support our war in Iraq.
As for culture, Jacksonville has fantastic restaurants, museums and performance art venues (NOT!), and great nightlife (everyone I know who went to the Super Bowl there a couple years ago cannot believe what a boring dump it is…).
I just forwarded him the link to this article, and I am sure he will reply saying that what this woman did is typical behavior…
If anyone knows of a company needing a Supply Chain Director and it is located somewhere else from Jacksonville, my brother would love to speak to you.
Stay Classy Jacksonville!!!

Very disappointing talky pictures for a story with strip in the title!
3:38 pm on August 12th, 2008
Look at her. You should be thanking me.
3:40 pm on August 12th, 2008
Hey, she’s 5′2″, 110, she might be all right with a bag over her head.
3:50 pm on August 12th, 2008
But what if the rest of her matches her head?
I’m stickin’ with thankin’ Morbid.
3:53 pm on August 12th, 2008
my, that is quite a tale!
3:53 pm on August 12th, 2008
GOTTA be better than 2 Girls, 1 Cup.
4:01 pm on August 12th, 2008
I can make her an even 100 real quick. Cut that damn head off.

Lizard, thanks for the nasty images! Although, Kermit’s reaction is hilarious.
5:00 pm on August 12th, 2008
No matter what happens, getting naked and running in circles might help.
This woman was thinking on her feet, bare feet at that.
6:30 pm on August 12th, 2008
Hi, I am new here, thanks to Casey Anthony’s work (insert foul language here). I am also a native Floridian, Central as well, I have been embarrassed for years. Although, I have to say, all the freaks usually are not native, I guess this is just where everyone’s trash gets dumped.
8:24 pm on August 12th, 2008
Why is the reporter putting his hand over his own channel’s camera lense? Florida is nuts!
9:04 pm on August 12th, 2008
It was a lame ass attempt to show how the guy fought off the nut.
R
9:13 pm on August 12th, 2008
Too bad he didn’t take off his clothes and run around in a circle to show us just how the woman did it — he’s not too bad looking.
10:39 am on August 13th, 2008
My guess is she figured this was her 15 minutes of fame–might as well make the most of it.
10:52 am on August 13th, 2008
Yeah, but where’s the video? You’d think someone would’ve whipped out their handy dandy video-capable cellular telephone and got a snippet of this on YouTube. Holly really didn’t think this thing through first…so many wasted opportunities.

I’ve been a lurker at this site for a few months now and I finally registered to respond to this one…
It’s bad enough that I live in Jacksonville, but living in the same city with this moron just adds insult to injury. As sad as this sounds, I have to admit–I’m not surprised this happened here. I agree with Scotchyscotch and his brother’s assessments about the majority of the people and culture here.
I’ve lived here for 20 years and during that time, I’ve had the misfortune of dealing with quite a few dimwits, but this nutty woman takes the cake. I’ve never met someone that stupid or that crazy. Hopefully this nutcase will stay in jail for a while so the rest of us who happen to live here will get a reprieve from her stupidity.

Welcome, Senna! I’ll get you signed up for our Former Lurkers Anonymous meetings. I’ll also get you on the rotation to bring coffee and chips. Morbid only supplies light beer.

I am new to this forum/site. I’ll have to admit that I only ended up here trying to read different stuff about this girl (Holly Highfield). Believe it or not, I went to school with Holly up until the 9th grade. She was Miss Talladega this and queen of hearts that up until appx. 9th grade. Believe it or not she actually won several beauty contests (although she clearly looks terrible now). Her mother taught our sunday school class and her father was over the music at the church. She has an older sister that was around back then also. It is really a sad situation. She got hooked up with the wrong crowd at about 15 – 16 yrs old. She started drinking and experimenting with drugs, etc. Within about 1 year and a half she had pretty much disappeared from the crowd she had once thrived in (mostly white popular middle to upper class people). She was a very popular girl for a long time. I have prayed for her often. I hated to see this. Sad………

Welcome to the site, Michael, and thanks for telling us a little about Holly.
How’s retirement treating you? The Bulls will never be the same. Feel free to donate some of your billions of dollars to the site.

I, too, know Holly from my middle/high school days. I was actually in the same class as her older sister, Laura. My Grandmother lived on the same street as her family. So bizarre how both of these girls have turned out. Holly did some modeling after dropping out of high school and, if I am not mistaken, served a term at Julia Tutwiler prison…not sure what for…. From what I hear, Laura is currently living a life of drugs and turning tricks for $40 a pop. It’s very strange that I remember her parents as “bible beaters” and for being quite odd. We were all wild because there was nothing to do in Talladega, AL…. but those girls were “extra” wild. I remember them having explosive arguments with their parents over things they would get caught doing or lying about. What Michael Jordan says is true…they fell out of the “in” crowd along the way and I lost touch with them. After that, every time I EVER had a run-in with one of them it was incredibly bizarre. I am so perplexed as to how this family fell apart. So sad….
6:34 pm on August 14th, 2008
I’m glad the bicyclist didn’t get seriously injured otherwise, I’d feel bad for laughing my ass off at this story!
9:36 pm on August 14th, 2008
Welcome, JD.
If the parents were quite odd, then that gives us a bit of a clue as to how Holly could’ve wound up…well, quite odd. And Bible beaters? Hm, wonder how her upbringing came into play as far as the comment to the kids about their faith.
7:37 pm on August 15th, 2008
I didn’t think that their parents were odd at all. They seemed very “normal” to me and I knew them basically my whole life. I will say that after about 7th grade I didn’t have much insight into her parents life and what not (if they were weird) and I knew them only as a friend would know someone’s parents (I was a kid). I heard that her father really had a major struggle dealing with his girls and ended up an alcoholic. I also heard that he now works in Florida (I won’t mention where). Maybe thats why Holly was in Florida?? Unfortunately, I’m afraid that this could be the final nail in the coffin for Holly. I just can’t make my mind completely wrap around what Holly has turned out to be. I really think if I saw her today I would have to ask her flat out, what happened? I mean I can understand getting wild and making mistakes, even experimenting with drugs, but to completely give up on everything that your life was going to be. Would she do it different if she could go back? Most people that start down the path of shame try to pretend that they are still what they once were. They get embarrassed if they see somebody they knew from their “glory” days. From what I understand, she just turned into a different person…..no shame, no feelings, no remorse. Does she or did she have some kind of undiagnosed mental illness? I just can’t stress enough what this girl was and was setup to become relative to what she became. This maybe the worst case of a person completely turning for the worse that I’ve ever seen!!
JUST UNBELIEVABLE!!

Michael said: “This maybe the worst case of a person completely turning for the worse that I’ve ever seen!!”
Yeah, she turned around and around, nekid.

smart kid to take the adult role and hit the hay.
LOL … on drugs you think

I went to school with this girl and have been invloved with her sexually several times. She used to be a normal girl, but after she got involved in crack cocain then prostitution, and other drugs as well she looks like this now. She was so pretty a highschool cheerleader and I never thought that she would turn out like this. Her family owns several businesses in Talladega to include a very profitable retail shoe store HighField shoes. Her family has tried several times to get her off the drugs and living the “good clean life”. She moved to Florida to start over cause Talladega is a small gossiping Town and her name was severely Tarnished Holly has had sex with atleas 350-400 men for money and countless others for casual oral sex. I hate she turned out like this. I really do.
2:37 am on August 25th, 2009
Has anyone heard anymore about Holly’s case??? I have been checking periodically and can’t find any more information. Any updates would be nice.
8:44 am on August 25th, 2009
You can find the court info here https://showcase.duvalclerk.com/ViewCaseDetails.aspx?id=9118456&court=0.
It looks like she was bonded out, but the bondsman must have revoked her bond in September 2008. Her attorney waived her right to a speedy trial so the case is still going on. There was an order for competency evalutation and a docket entry of “ORDER FOR NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY EVALUATION” so looks like that is her defense.The final pretrial is scheduled for 8/27.
