Update 10 a.m. Thursday
Tina Allgeo pleaded no contest to her charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in court Thursday morning.
As a result, prosecutors have agreed to drop Allgeo’s second-degree murder charge.
A judge accepted that plea deal and has issued Allgeo’s punishment.
She will serve 18 months in prison with credit for 12 days already served. The judge also ordered her to 10 years of probation, which can be reduced to a period of 5 years if Allgeo meets all conditions.
Additionally, Allgeo must enroll in anger management classes within 60 days, pay all fines and court costs, and perform 250 hours of community service.
She has been ordered to report to the Orange County Jail on Dec. 27.

Original story:
A woman accused in a deadly road rage shooting in Orlando is heading back to court.
Tina Allgeo has been charged with second-degree murder in connection to the December 2024 incident.
She’s expected to attend a hearing Thursday on a motion to dismiss the charges against her.
Prosecutors say a case of road rage led Allgeo to shoot and kill Mihail Tsvetkov along East Colonial Drive near Primrose Drive.
Court documents state Tsvetkov opened Allgeo’s door and started hitting her after a crash.
Investigators said that’s when she shot him.
Allgeo has claimed she acted in self-defense.
The hearing is on the heels of a dispute between Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and Orange-Osceola State Attorney Monique Worrell.
Uthmeier has called for this case to be dropped.
Channel 9 will be in court for Thursday’s hearing, which is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m.
