A restraining order against a crazy ex-girlfriend work if she still has the key to your house

FORT WALTON BEACH – Police have arrested a woman for an incident that occurred last year in which a man’s house was broken into and some of his belongings destroyed.

On July 11, 2012, a man was granted a restraining order against a 47-year-old Fort Walton Beach woman, who was told to stay at least 500 feet away from his residence.
On July 12, the man returned to his residence to find it had been broken into. Several pieces of radio equipment were deliberately smashed with a blunt instrument, according to Fort Walton Beach police. Photographs of the man and the woman were removed from the walls and smashed.

Also, bottles of beer and wine were in the trash can; when the man left for work that morning, they were in his fridge.

There was no sign of forced entry and the victim believed the woman had his house key.

Police sent some of these items to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for DNA analysis. Meanwhile, police tried to get a DNA sample from the woman, but she invoked her right to an attorney. She failed to provide contact information for her attorney, so police were able to obtain a court order requiring the woman to submit to a swab.

The results of the swab came back March 25 and positively matched the woman’s swab. She was arrested May 2 and charged with burglary and violation of a domestic violence injunction.

Her court date was not listed on the arrest report.

 

Woman claimed she was videotaped while naked in tanning booth

Filed under: Bizzarre,Controversy,Florida Nut,Really Dumb,Unusual,Voyerism,WTF? — floridaduh @ 8:21 pm

sfl-flduh-naked-in-tanning-booth-20130516-001Clermont police are investigating a woman’s complaint that she was videotaped while naked in a tanning booth by a man in the room next to her.

Police say the incident happened Tuesday about 5:30 p.m. at L.A. Tan on U.S. Highway 50 in Clermont.

The 24-year-old woman told police that she had just finished tanning and was about to get dressed when she saw a man’s arm holding a camera phone while hanging over her seven-foot privacy wall. She yelled and that’s when the man’s arm disappeared, according to a police report. The woman quickly dressed, knocked on the room next door and confronted the man.

The 36-year-old man, who police would not identify, denied taking pictures over the wall and police could not find photos from that day on his phone after a quick inspection. Police did find a chair in the man’s room near the wall that could have been used to stand on to take the photos. The phone was taken as evidence and police are readying a search warrant to more thoroughly review its photos.

A manager from the tanning salon was not immediately available for comment.

The victim said he and a man he only knows as  “worm” got into a fight over a woman they both had dated. He said he was originally dating her, then she left him for “worm”. After staying with “worm” for a while, she returned to the victim.
He said on Saturday morning, he was on his boat in Boca Chica Channel when “worm” went by in a dinghy yelling profanities. When “worm” got to the Key Haven boat ramp, he threw the victim’s moped into the water.
The victim went to the boat ramp to confront “worm” and a fight ensued. “Worm” pulled out a knife and slashed the victim, cutting his arm.
Deputy Kim Trullender was dispatched to reports of a fight at the boat ramp at 10:45 a.m. He found no one there, but a short time later he found the victim at the Tom Thumb store on Stock Island. He was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injury. He told Deputy Trullender what happened.
Jeffery “Worm” Ballard was found by Deputy Joe Cortner walking on College Road at 1:15 a.m. He had blood on his face and head, and told the deputy he’d been beaten up by the victim of the earlier fight. He was arrested and charged with aggravated battery. Photos were taken of his injuries and Detective David Brummer will be continuing to investigate.

Florida implements system to allow Florida citizens to call each other terrorists

Filed under: Amazing,Bizzarre,Controversy,Really Dumb,WTF? — floridaduh @ 2:48 pm

Sheriffs in 13 Northeast Florida counties announced an online system Thursday  for residents to report suspicious activity they think may be  terrorism-related.

Individuals can make reports online to any one of the counties from Nassau to  Alachua that are part of the iWATCH program.

The site provides examples of red flags to watch for, such as people with an  unusual interest in building plans or who are purchasing materials useful in  bomb making. Important places to watch include hobby stores and dive shops.

Those making reports must provide their name and contact information.

“This is not like Crime Stoppers, where people report crimes,” Jacksonville  Sheriff John Rutherford said, referencing a reward-based system for solving  crimes that allows anonymity.

For iWATCH, people are less likely to be targeted by rumors or malicious  accusations. Also, it gives investigators the opportunity to further interview  the person reporting the activity.

“It’s always a concern that someone may be setting up a neighbor,” Rutherford  said.

Reports entered in the iWATCH system are sent to the individual counties  through a central clearing house. It is also passed to other counties, in case  the information can be connected to something similar or related. The program  was set up using a $150,000 state grant and piggybacks on an existing  information-sharing system law enforcement uses now.

The sites combine iWATCH with the county name, or in Jacksonville’s case the  city, to direct the report. The site for Jacksonville is www.iwatchjax.com.

Other counties in the program are: Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Flagler,  Gilchrist, Levy, Marion, Nassau, Putnam, St. Johns and Union.

“The majority of citizens want to do what’s right,” Alachua County Sheriff  Sadie Darnell said at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement offices in  Jacksonville where the program was announced.

 

Hubby posed as intruder, violently attacked his wife May 17, 2013

sfl-flduh-intruder-violently-attacked-20130516-001When Volusia County Sheriff’s deputies responded to an attack inside a Deltona home late Wednesday night, they found a 27-year-old woman with numerous bloody lacerations to her face and hands. But what didn’t make sense to investigators was her husband’s story of running an errand, with a mysterious car possibly following him, and then returning home just in time to see one or two shadowy figures bolting from his yard moments after his wife had been attacked by a masked intruder. After confronting the victim’s husband, 29-year-old Timorthy Hunter, with the inconsistencies in his account, Sheriff’s investigators discovered why Hunter’s story didn’t make sense: There were no shadowy figures in the yard. The man behind the mask who cut up his wife was Hunter himself.

By early Thursday afternoon, barely 15 hours after the attack was first reported, Sheriff’s investigators had arrested Hunter (DOB: 2/3/84) on felony charges of aggravated battery and destroying or tampering with physical evidence. Hunter was booked in to the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach, where he initially will be held without bond.

The victim told deputies that she was home with her two young children at the couple’s house at 217 Steward Terrace while her husband took their baby with him to the store. While her husband was out running an errand, the victim said that she was in bed when she heard a noise coming from the next room. All of a sudden, a man in a mask came into her room, pushed her off the bed and began slashing her with a sharp object while demanding money. The intruder then bolted out the back door of the house. Seconds later, the victim’s husband emerged at the front door, seemingly unaware that his wife had been attacked. However, he initially told deputies that he thought a car had followed him to the store. And when he pulled into the couple’s driveway, he said he spotted someone crouching down on the side of the house. Hunter said that when he went to investigate, the person ran off and there possibly was a second person as well. Then he went to the door, saw what had happened to his wife, grabbed a stick and ran out the house to look for his wife’s attacker. At least that was the initial story that Hunter told deputies.

During questioning by Sheriff’s investigator Chastity Burke and Sergeant Pat Leahy, Hunter eventually confessed to attacking his wife, saying he was mad at her for supposedly cheating on him and just wanted to scare her, but then his anger got the best of him. Hunter said he used a piece of metal to cut his wife. After the attack, he tossed the piece of metal and washed his clothes to conceal the evidence, which was the basis of the added charge of destroying or tampering with physical evidence.

 

Woman bit boyfriend’s penis after he refused to have sex … Alittle horney?

sfl-flduh-bit-boyfriends-penis-deputies-say-20-003As Krystle M. Harrison and her boyfriend were lying in bed Wednesday evening,  the 19-year-old Bradenton woman began touching him, wanting to have sex, according to an arrest affidavit from the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.

The couple have been dating for about 3 years and have a child together, according to the arrest report.

After the beau turned Harrison down — several times — she grabbed him and bit his penis, the affidavit stated.

The boyfriend then pushed Harrison away and went outside, where she continued to argue with him and scratched his chest, the deputy reported.

The boyfriend refused to complete a sworn affidavit and told the deputy that he didn’t want to “press charges” against his girlfriend, who was then taken to the slammer.
