A Florida woman is accused of shooting her boyfriend while he was hooked up to a dialysis machine at a hospital.

Shemira Hargrove, 32, has been charged with attempted murder, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Witnesses say Hargrove shot her boyfriend point-blank in the stomach at around 9:30 a.m. Monday at the Florida Dialysis Center.

“[A] lady walked in and shot the man while on the table,” witness Josie Clark told WFTV.

Orlando Police Sgt. Diego Toruno told the station, “It appears there was an argument and at one point the victim was shot.”

While being led out of police headquarters, Hargrove apologized for the incident, according to Click Orlando.

“I LOVE HIM,” Hargrove said, “I apologize. I apologize.”

FLORIDA – cop fired for EIGHTH time after leaving police AR-15 with friend

Via: Raw Story

The Opa-Locka Police Department in Florida on Wednesday argued before an arbitrator that one of their own officers deserved to be fired — for the sixth time — because he left his department AR-15 assault-style rifle with a friend.

The department told arbitrator Jeanne Wood that Sgt. German Bosque should be terminated because he had left a city-owned, 30-round assault rifle like the one used to slaughter 20 elementary school children last year in Connecticut in the hands of his then-girlfriend’s father.

Bosque’s attorney, however, argued that the rifle was in good hands with the girlfriend’s father, who Bosque called “Daddy,” because he was a licensed security guard.

“Anyone can legally purchase this weapon,” union attorney Andrew Axelrad said on Bosque’s behalf.

“Not just anyone can purchase one from the Opa-locka police department,” city attorney Joe Geller shot back.

According to WFOR, Bosque has been fired EIGHT times by three police departments in Florida, including six firings from his job at Opa-locka. WFOR noted that Bosque was the “most disciplined, fined, fired, arrested police officer in the state.”

Over the years, he has faced allegations of:

-  busting the skull of a suspect

- beating juveniles

- having drugs in a patrol car

- stealing from suspects, falsifying reports

- conducting an unauthorized car chased where four people were killed

- “calling in sick…from Cancun.”

FLORIDA – Butt-baring woman attacks boyfriend and teen with papayas over ‘birthday sex’

Via: Raw Story

A 49-year-old Florida woman was arrested last month for exposing her backside to her boyfriend and a teen boy after she attacked them with papayas.

A Vero Beach police arrest report published by TCPalm.com on Tuesday showed that when officers responded to the March 10 disturbance, Suzanne Evlarina Wasden met them and her “pants were partway down exposing her buttocks.”

“The defendant was very intoxicated,”  (with a name like Evlarina, I’d probably be drunk too) the report stated. “The defendant had blood on her arms and shirt.”

Wasden told police that the skirmish had started when her boyfriend showed up wanting “birthday sex.”

Police spoke to a 16-year-old neighbor who said that Wasden had come to his his trailer earlier in the evening “wanting a cigarette and beer.”

“When she didn’t [get] one, she started yelling and screaming,” according to the report. The suspect allegedly began hitting the boyfriend and pushed him into some glass.

The teen “said that the defendant then started throwing papayas at them.”

At that point, Wasden reportedly pulled her jeans down and said, “Kiss my butt.”

“That was something that none of us wanted to see,” the teen explained to police.

Lane Rees (R-FL) – ‘GOP Moron of the Day’

Via: Raw Story

Officials in Florida on Monday said that an elected Florida Republican Party committeeman had been arrested on multiple charges of possessing and transmitting child pornography.

Walton County Sheriff Mike Adkinson confirmed to The Northwest Florida Daily News that Lane Rees, a former Walton County Commissioner, was taken into custody around 5 p.m. on Monday after a month-long investigation.

Deputies recovered “multiple images” of child pornography after serving a search warrant on his home in Santa Rosa Beach.

Rees was elected to the Walton County Commission in 2000, where he served until being defeated by 23-year-old Republican Scott Brannon four years later. He has served as Walton County’s Republican state committeeman since being elected by party members in 2008.

In 2001, Walton County named Rees “Man of the Year.”

According to his bio, Rees is President of the consulting group Human Resource Solutions, Inc. and serves on the board of the United Methodist Church’s Foundation for Evangelism.

Rees faces up to 10 years in prison (plus, all eternity in hell) and $10,000 in fines if convicted on all charges.

Jeb Bush (R-FL) – “Quote of Day”

Via: Huffington Post

“All too often we’re associated with being ‘anti’ everything,” Bush said. “Way too many people believe Republicans (see photo) are anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-science, anti-gay, anti-worker, and the list goes on and on and on. Many voters are simply unwilling to choose our candidates even though they share our core beliefs, because those voters feel unloved, unwanted and unwelcome in our party.”

FLORIDA – motorist shoots man after dog runs in front pickup

Via: Raw Story

A Florida man is recovering from a gunshot wound after a motorist became angry and pulled a gun because a loose dog forced his pickup truck to stop.

Peter Harbachuk, 46, told the Tampa Bay Times that he and his wife were walking their 4-year-old golden retriever, Bella, when the dog escaped from her leash.

Bella darted in front of a pickup truck, forcing the vehicle to stop. After coming to a halt, a woman got out of the truck to yell at the couple.

That’s when the woman got back in the pickup, and a man emerged with a gun.

“Some dude hopped out and he pointed a gun toward my head,” Harbachuk recalled. “I said, ‘Hey. This doesn’t have to go down like this.’”

The man then lowered his aim slightly, closed his eyes and fired a round into Harbachuk’s leg, he explained. The couple in the truck fled the scene before police and paramedics could arrive.

St. Petersburg police were searching for a clean-shaven, muscular, 5-foot, 10-inch tall man between 30 and 35 years old. The woman was thought be about 5 foot, 5 inches and 20 to 25 years old. She was petite with short brown hair. The suspects may have been traveling in a dark Ford F-150 pickup truck.

Harbachuk said that he doesn’t understand how the situation escalated so quickly.

“This could’ve been ANYONE. It could’ve been my wife,” he insisted to the Tampa Bay Times. “It could have been just any person walking down the street.”

The ‘Floridian (whackjob) of the Day’

Via: News Around the Bend

Joseph Lamar Conn said he wanted to simply catch a few rays by sunbathing nude.

However, by doing it on his front porch in Florida, he managed to catch the attention of the Ocala Police Department.

Conn, a 49-year-old REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER, was taken into custody Monday for allegedly exposing himself while holding a rubber penis in his hand (hell, is there any other way?) , according to NBC Miami.

Officers, answering a call from a neighbor, drove to Conn’s home where they allegedly saw him lying nude on a blanket and gripping a rubber phallus. When Conn spotted the cops, he wrapped himself in the blanket, according to Gainesville.com.. He ducked inside the house and reemerged wearing shorts.

The arresting officer, Anthony Reghetti, asked Conn why he had been naked and the suspect told him he likes to sunbathe while holding the sex toy. He added that he wasn’t aware he could be seen from the street, which is also home to a Methodist church.

It didn’t help that Conn, 49, is a registered sex offender who was found guilty in 2002 of principal lewd assault and sexual battery on a victim younger than 16, and was released from prison in March after serving a one-year sentence for violating sex offender rules.

FLORIDA – Baby Left At Strip Club Liquor Store

Via: Huffington Post

A drunk Florida dad stumbled into a strip club’s liquor store on Sunday night and left his 11-month-old baby at the establishment, cops say.

Kenneth Rowe, 26, was reportedly wasted when he walked into Shark Lounge liquor store in Daytona Beach and asked a clerk to watch his baby boy, according to WFTV.

It’s unclear whether the clerk actually agreed, but Rowe nevertheless ditched the baby for the Shark Lounge gentleman’s club, which sits in the same building, the Sun-Sentinel reports.

The clerk called police and reported that the baby was hungry and had a rash on his face.

Cops caught up with Rowe and charged him with child neglect. The boy is now with the state Department of Children and Families.

The Shark Lounge, which promises “We Will Rock You” on its website, hails itself as Daytona Beach’s number-one class act (class act, indeed) and proclaims it “has always made the topic of conversation.”

FLORIDA – ‘Stand your ground’ cited in shooting of whiny Little Caesars Pizza customer

Via: Raw Story

A Florida man is using the state’s “stand your ground” law as a defense after he shot a customer who was complaining about slow service at a St. Petersburg Little Caesars Pizza restaurant.

~
Randall White, 49, was in line waiting for his pizza on Sunday when he began complaining that he wasn’t being served fast enough. According to the Tampa Bay Times, 52-year-old Michael Jock was also in line and scolded White for whining.

The two began arguing and it eventually “became a shoving match,” police spokesperson Mike Puetz said.

After White allegedly raised his fist, Jock pulled out a .38 Taurus Ultralight Special Revolver and fired a shot into the man’s torso. A second shot also hit White in the torso. One round became lodged in the restaurant wall.

When police arrived, Jock told them that the shooting had been justified under Florida’s “stand your ground” law, which says that gun owners do not have a “duty to retreat.”
