Here comes Florida Man, roaring back to life

Quote

A Florida Man was arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly “offering to show his genitals” to “everyone” trying to enjoy a 3 AM meal at an IHOP, court records show.

According to police, Allan Ibanez, 24, entered the Clearwater restaurant and “began approaching random tables and patrons offering to show his genitals and showing them condoms.”

Ibanez, seen at right, was asked to leave by IHOP management, but he “continued to offer to show his genitals to everyone in the establishment,” a criminal complaint alleges. “This left patrons uncomfortable and wanting to leave.”

Cops who arrested Ibanez for disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, noted that he had engaged in several instances of “disruptive behavior” earlier in the evening (for which he was not busted).

Shortly after release from jail for the genital adventures at IHOP he was arrested again for swiping gas station donuts.

As the coronavirus scare prompts panicked runs on toilet paper worldwide, a Florida Man was arrested yesterday for the 1 AM theft of some two-ply bath tissue from a neighbor’s vehicle, according to court records.

Police allege that Safraz Shakoor, 25, burglarized a Dodge truck parked in the driveway of a residence a few blocks from his Clearwater home.

Shakoor, cops say, was recorded on a Ring video surveillance camera entering the unlocked truck’s backseat and swiping “a roll of toilet paper from a 6-pack of Smart & Simple bath tissue.”

A pack of the toilet paper--perhaps the cheapest brand on the market--sells for $1 at Dollar General (though the retailer is currently out of stock, according to its web site). The product is described as “Made in the USA from 100% recycled fiber.”

If you're going to swipte paper to wipe your ass at least swipe a copy of the Art of the Deal and not Dollar General TP.

Hey Florida man it doesn't work like that...

Quote

A man arrested Saturday for auto theft claimed the coronavirus made him do it, cops say.

According to investigators, Alvin Rementer, 70, in late-January pawned his 2000 Chevrolet Silverado for $1500 at Pawn Depot in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Since turning over title to his wheels, Rementer has returned to the shop several times to “make statements of not possibly being able to pay for the pawn payment,” an arrest affidavit states.

While the pawn shop manager was “willing to work with him,” cops say, Rementer allegedly took matters into his own hand around 7 AM Saturday. Using a spare key, Rementer drove the truck away from the pawn shop (where it apparently was parked outside the business).

Florida Woman still finds a way to be Florida Woman during all this.

Quote

A Florida Woman placed plastic Easter eggs stuffed with pornographic images and other items in the mailboxes of scores of homeowners, according to cops who say they collared the “deranged offender” last night.

Investigators allege that Abril Cestoni, 42, delivered the X-rated material over the past several days, resulting in her arrest on 11 counts of distributing obscene items.

A charging affidavit alleges that Cestoni, seen above, stuffed mailboxes with Easter eggs and a pamphlet containing “incoherent rants about local religious clergy” and “multiple pornographic images.”

After a homeowner last night called 911 to report a suspicious person placing something in her mailbox, cops pulled over Cestoni’s car. Upon being read her rights, Cestoni reportedly admitted to distributing the plastic eggs and the pamphlets. Acknowledging she had distributed obscene material, Cestoni claimed she included the images “because homosexuals are allowed to teach in the church.”

Minister Jones is gay, so she leaves people porn-filled Easter eggs to protest this?

APRIL 20--Angered that a group of golfers was violating rules on the course adjacent to his home, a 74-year-old Florida Man allegedly threatened the players with a BB gun, prompting the septuagenarian’s arrest Friday evening on six felony charges, records show.

According to cops, John Robert Orr initially shouted at the golfers for driving their cart over a bridge and onto the putting green at the 8th hole of The Conservatory course in Palm Coast. The 199-yard, par three hole features an island green and is touted as the “signature hole” of the Tom Watson-designed course.

Seen above, Orr lives in a home that backs up to the hole, though the residence is separated from the course by a cement wall and the water that surrounds the green.

One of the golfers told police that Orr yelled at them to leave the course and that “use of the golf cart in that manner was against regulations of the golf course,” according to a charging affidavit.

I wonder if he told them it was a league game?

Florida man busted for transporting drugs in Missouri (and due to local geography I am curious as to if California = the state or California = California MO - for the record there is a location in MO for Florida MO - the geography pain here is real)

Gator road rage

Quote

Aggressive driving is always a hazard, but officials say Florida drivers also have to be on the lookout for potentially aggressive alligators, especially around this time of year.

The Manatee County Sheriff's Office warned motorists that it's that time of year when alligators, um, fall in love but might not always be so affectionate.

A male gator measuring 9-feet-2-inches had to be removed from a roadway after it was spotted "being aggressive with traffic" on Friday.

Someone needs to buy a better alias..

Responding early yesterday to a 911 call about a domestic violence incident, cops questioned Getro Gelin, 27, at his residence in Port St. Lucie. A woman told police that Gelin shoved her to the ground and threatened her with a firearm.

After the victim said that Gelin may have hidden the gun in his Porsche SUV, cops searched the vehicle and recovered a Glock 21 pistol, a semi-automatic rifle, and a bulletproof vest.

When asked about the guns in the auto, Gelin “replied he had sold the Porsche to his cousin John Wick.” Gelin subsequently “stated he lied about the name, but that he would not reveal his cousin’s name.”

“John Wick” is the title character in a blood- and bullet-soaked movie franchise starring Keanu Reeves. “Wick” is a retired hitman with an arsenal of weapons for whom gunplay is part of his daily routine.

Maybe the sheltering-in-place is finally getting to me, but I'm disappointed to learn that the gator wasn't driving.

[PennySycamore]

@Cartmann99, I'm not sure where it was (maybe not even in the US) but the cops stopped a car recently that was driving erratically at over 100 mph.  They had to use road spikes to get the car to stop as the driver refused to heed the blue lights.  Anyway, once the officers approached the car, they found a pit bull behind the wheel.  His owner was in the passenger seat and was trying to teach the dog to drive.  The guy was arrested and the dog went to a shelter where I hope he's been adopted by now.  

The dogs may have been able to put his front paws on the steering wheel, but there's no way his hind paws reached the pedals.

We had a fun video of an animal incident here back in February. The local news covered it, but I still prefer the original video. (Hint as to the animals involved:   )

Hey Florida Woman, if you're gonna put on a show for your incarcerated boyfriend at least send your son out of the room first.

Quote

A Florida Woman is facing a felony charge after a video call with her imprisoned boyfriend turned very raunchy, prompting a criminal probe helmed by an investigator identified in court records as “Detective Assmann.”

According to a probable cause affidavit, Noelle Rascati, 32, engaged in a late-March “virtual visit” with Tathan Fields, a 26-year-old locked up in the Santa Rosa County jail. The duo’s video encounter allegedly “became extremely sexual.”

As detailed by investigators, Rascati’s virtual visit with Fields came a day before the convict celebrated his 26th birthday. In the video, Fields is wearing an orange jumpsuit and “sitting in what appears to be a jail pod.” Rascati, pictured above, was dressed in a pink bathrobe and perched on a bed in a Lake County residence.

Rascati, however, was not alone in her bedroom. As she adjusted her camera at the call’s outset, a young boy could be seen standing next to the bed. The child remained in the bedroom during the duration of 12:28 video.

Another Florida Woman put on a show, this time for her neighbors.

Quote

A Florida Woman who insisted to cops that she was allowed to go topless while cleaning out her garage--in full view of her neighbors--was arrested for indecent exposure, according to a police report.

Responding to a 911 call “reference to a exposure of sexual organs,” cops spoke with a Vero Beach resident who said that a neighbor who lives across the street pulled down her shirt “and exposed her breasts to the victim and her children.” The minors, the report noted, ranged in age from 11 to five.

At one point, the witness said, the topless woman “bent over with her top down and started pounding on her blue plastic recycling bin making sure that the victim and the kids were looking.”

Upon confronting the suspect--identified by police as Stephanie Wright, 56--“her tan tank top was tucked under her breasts and I could visibly see her breasts,” reported Deputy David Ragley.
