nothing witty, just plain odd.
police were called to the scene of an oakland part apartment in broward county, being told that the woman on the other end of the line had suffered a miscarriage.
when the authorities arrived, they discovered she was faking. her prop of choice? they're unsure of (or unwilling to report) its origin, but has been described as "animal tissue."
the case is closed without further investigation into where the tissue was obtained, but the woman may be charged with lying to authorities.
so hooray for animal AND ambulance abuse and HOORAY FLORIDA!

thing just went hog wild...
so then they called in the pigs.
a 26 year old woman has a laceration on the back of her leg to show for the latest encounter in her st. pete backyard.
but i love her course of action on this. st. petersburg fire and rescue were called to the scene after the woman reported a 200 pound pig was in the yard. this was reported from inside the house. so, what do you do while you're waiting?
GO OUTSIDE TO INVESTIGATE.
when she disturbed its visit, it charged at her, causing the aforementioned laceration.
once animal control arrived, they used a lasso to restrain the pig (AWESOME) and sent it in for rabies testing.
so hooray for shortsighted st pete sojourns, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

crazy good?
nope...just crazy.
i get that couples who are moving away from each other after a breakup stake claims on certain items in the apartment. furniture, movies or CDs, things like that. but would i give up on things like food?
well, maybe not, depending on what it was. but i certainly wouldn't stab anyone over it!
not so for 18 year old catheline colon. during a dispute over a box of pop-tarts of unknown origin, she literally staker her claim with a steak knife, stabbing her former boyfriend shawn anderson.
the police were called in, and found colon cleaning up blood from the floor. anderson was taken to lakeland regional hospital by a friend, but his present state is unknown.
as for colon, she was arrested and charged with tampering with evidence, battery with a deadly weapon, and domestic violence.
so hooray for sugar-fueled stabbings, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

this guy is, literally, trippin.
truly the "quinn"tessential criminal.
today, we salute patrick "steve" quinn, of pasco county. he has a record that is long and colorful, detailed and shameworthy. yet he roams the streets of the greater tampa bay area, free to stir up trouble.
quinn's latest caper came when he was pulled over with a burnt out front headlight. but there were more surprises. a gun on the seat, two bullets in his pocket, and a van that didn't belong to him. he said that the van belonged to a lady friend of his, and he was just as surprised to find the gun as the cops were.
asked why he tried to run after getting out of the car, he replied simply: "i tripped," grinning.
oh yeah, and he had coke too. said he mostly uses it on the weekends, but "sometimes the weekend rolls into monday."
just for the sake of backstory, let's rattle off the other offenses that the 20 year old has been privy to:

- felony battery on an education employee;
- bringing a knife to school;
- armed burglary;
- marijuana possession; and
- bringing a semiautomatic weapon to two different high schools.
for someone with such an "impressive" record, his mugshot indicates he's both humble and unbothered by the whole thing.
so hooray for getting through mondays however we can, even if it means spending them in jail, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

no foolin. unfortunately.
makes me wonder how she can drive.
a kissimmee woman was left flushed and embarrassed after a 911 call to police to get her out of her car. she informed the dispatcher that her car's electric elements weren't working, and that she was getting warm being locked inside the car.
calmly and hopefully with just the slightest giggle, the dispatcher told her to pull the lock up with her hand, negating the need for electricity and safely removing her from the car.
"um, i'm sorry" was her response before hanging up, hopefully because she had managed to free herself.
hooray for silliness in sedans (click on the link, you can listen to the call!!! eeee!), and HOORAY FLORIDA!

just a waste of good pretzels...
but she did get a felony charge in exchange!
a 14-year old girl was charged with a felony in fort pierce yesterday, and she lost a bag of pretzels and a shoe in the process.
a police officer was watching several patients in the hospital, when the 14-year old got agitated and told the officer to stop looking at her, or she'd hit him with her shoe. when told to calm down and have a seat, she refused, telling the cop to be quiet.
she threw her shoe at the officer twice, hitting him in the foot the second time.
once he was hit, the police sergeant was called, who was greeted with a bag of pretzels to the chest.
the charge isn't listed, but i'm guessing it's assault. by something with salt. i like it.

website spotlight: Tampa Bay Mugshots
you know, everyone does it.
at least if you're in hillsborough county.
you hear about a friend or an acquaintance that got arrested over the weekend, or late one night. you ask how it happened, ooh and ahh about the consequences, all while trying desperately to remember the person's first and last name so you can find their mugshot online through the sheriff's website.
catching up with this underground pastime, the st. pete times has just made it simpler for you!
mugshots.tampabay.com allows you to access a database of mugshots, and also allows you to browse the pictures of people who have been arrested in the last 24 hours. some of these shots are brutal, some of these people clearly thought it was a photo shoot.
in any case, look to the sheriff's department no more when you're looking for a mugshot.
if you wanna know someone's true weight or what they got arrested for...stick with the sheriff.
hooray for making mugshots merry, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

gotta love that naked ambition...
he really went balls-to the wall on this one.
well, they would have been, had he been arrested.
frustrated with his time in america and desperate to go back to mexico, 28-year-old Roberto Carlos resorted to running naked through the streets of port st. lucie.
he and his boyfriend had been drinking, and when police arrived he told the police they had gotten drunk and started arguing.
planning to punch the cop (yes, the streaking was a plan B) to get himself arrested, he was informed by the cops that it would not be the prudent choice. so he stripped and ran.
no word on if he was arrested, deported, or merely forcibly clothed at the conclusion of the incident.
in any case, hooray for baring your soul for homesickness, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

my triumphant return (or, thinking outside the bun)
i apologize for my long absence!
i got busy with school/work/LIFE decisions, and then weird stuff stopped happening in florida. it was weird in and of itself.
in any case, to the news!
"i think we're going to need a bigger truck."
when the curreys of dania beach argue, sometimes they need to get away. james currey's wife was having one of those days when she walked to the local taco bell this morning to escape the tension. she did not bank on james following her in his white chevy truck, ramming her car until it crashed through the front window of the eatery.
currey's wife escaped with only a few minor bumps and bruises, while he is still on the loose.
i suggest they look for a white chevy pickup with a bell imprint in the hood and beans smeared across the front.
so hooray for taking your marriage from mild to caliente, and HOORAY FLORIDA!
(it's good to say that again!)
