The Adventures of Florida Man: a running thread

A Florida woman standing trial for allegedly murdering her husband is accused of going through Tinder while he bled to death on the floor.

Somebody help me out here. Is scrolling through tinder going to be considered a separate crime? If she is convicted will the sentences be concurrent or consecutive?

Go back through her history. Maybe there are other victims...

Go back through her history. Maybe there are other victims...

No it's crazier than that, the victim met her while he was dating her mother, and after her mother died they grew close and married. Interesting stuff in the article.

A friend told an arrest affidavit for Danielle that Michael and his wife briefly lived in separate homes but he moved back in just a month before the stabbing.

Michael supposedly joked to the friend that Danielle 'is crazy but as long as I hide the steak knives everything will be fine.'

Florida man says ‘spirits’ told him to set boss’s future home on fire

By Patrick Reilly
July 1, 2022

A Florida man was arrested on Wednesday after allegedly he was caught on camera setting his boss’s future home on fire because “spirits” told him to.

Thanh Ha, 54, was caught on multiple surveillance cameras approaching a home under construction in St. Petersburg on his bicycle just before noon on May 3. He locked the bike to a stop sign before entering the home, trying to cover his face with his clothing, according to arrest documents obtained by WFLA.

About five minutes later, Ha was taped running outside of the home, unlocking the bike and speeding away.

Prospective buyers of the home identified Ha as one of their employees, according to documents.

Police said that Ha admitted to starting the fire not because he was upset with his employer, but “because ‘spirits’ told him to,” officers wrote.

Florida man loses pants while being chased by cops in hours-long manhunt

By Patrick Reilly

A suspect lost his pants while he was being chased by Florida police but kept the manhunt up for hours longer completely in the nude, cops said.

Police responded to a home in Branford on July 2 to a residence where 50-year-old Jesse Lamb, of Gainesville, was reportedly refusing to leave, according to the Suwannee County Sheriff’s Office.

While cops were on their way, they learned that Lamb had an active warrant out for failing to appear in court in 2021 for driving with a suspended license.

When cops arrived at the residence, they spotted Lamb sprinting from the back of the residence towards the Suwannee River in nothing but a pair of shorts. Deputies chased him until he jumped in the river and began swimming towards a floating dock, which he hid under.

Officers demanded that Lamb come out from below the dock, he did, but swam away again, according to the sheriff’s office.

To protect and swerve: Drunk and slurring Florida cop is caught driving his police cruiser in full uniform with an open beer while nearly five times the legal limit

By TOM BROWN FOR MAILONLINE
8 July 2022

A Florida office has been caught drunk on the job after his colleagues found him swerving down the high street.

Oscar Mayorga, 25, of the Apopka Police Department had to be pulled over when a local resident saw the police cruiser running stop signs and called the cops.

Fellow officers arrived and asked Mayorga to roll down the window, catching a whiff of booze when he complied.

Slurring his speech, Mayorga told the officers he was on his way to work, despite the fact that he'd already started his shift.

At first, he said he'd taken three benadryl, medication used to treat allergies and insomnia, two hours ago.

But he'd forgotten about the open beer can in the center cup holder which the other officers spotted.

It was full monty Frogger.

A nude man threw a Florida commute into chaos last week after he scampered across several highway lanes and hopped on the bed of a semi-trailer, according to a report.

Startled Sarasota drivers stopped to observe the mayhem on Interstate 75 at about 4 p.m. on June 30 and posted footage of the incident to social media.

Florida Man Arrested For Putting On A Helmet & Charging Headfirst Into A 9-Year-Old At A Youth Football Practice
by Sean Joseph
 about 2 hours ago   

Youth football is a wild game these days. Not so much the play on the field, but all of the adults surrounding the game have lost their minds.

Anything can happen at anytime. A Florida man proved that last month at a youth football practice when he took out some anger on a 9-year-old.

The man is said to have put on a helmet and charged headfirst at a 9-year-old boy. After hitting the boy in the chest the man pushed the kid to the ground.

David Alan Taylor, 41, was arrested last month in Pensacola. Police say that his son was taking part in a one-on-one tackling drill with another player. He became upset when his son was overpowered by the other child and started crying.

According to witnesses that’s when Taylor decided to take matters into his own hands.  ...

   I'm torn between two dynamically opposed theories on why I don't like this Thread.

   (1) It's unfair to Floridians

   (2) Yet, it's the only place I can keep up on what @Wingnut is capable of

When I was growing up and playing sports in the fifties and sixties, it was rare to see any grownup watching his kid play.
I played city rec baseball for three years. You rarely saw any adults watching. Of course the games were always played in the early afternoon when most dads were working. Then again my parents had little to no interest in what I did as far as athletics. They only cared that you didn't get into trouble.
It was only the Boomer generation parents who were expected to go watch their kids play.
I remember going to a basketball game some decades ago with my sister, her husband, and his brother and wife to watch my niece play a freshman game. My sister, her husband, and her in-laws made asses out of themselves shouting at the refs the whole game whenever a call didn't go for my niece's team. The kicker of course is that my sister was pretty much an ignoramus about basketball.
I liked the sign I saw at a city youth baseball game in Texas watching my younger brother play many decades ago.  The sign said that anybody in the stands shouting at the umpires would be removed from the premises. The crowd was fairly quiet during the game simply clapping and cheering when their team did good.
All gyms and athletic fields where kids play should have that rule.

I was never sports/ athletically minded. My parents never pushed me to be involved in little league. I remember going to se my neighbor play and so many (not all) of the parents acting like idiots. I asked my father about it when I got home. He told me little league was invented for the parents so they could feel better about their own lack of athletic ability. I nev er forgot that and it was over 50 years ago.
