www.wptv.com/news/region-c-palm-beach-county/pbso-deputy-arrested-charged-with-burglary-and-grand-theftA Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy is accused of going into a deceased man’s home and stealing the man’s prescription medication in the days following Hurricane Irma. Deputy Sheriff Jason Cooke is charged with burglary and grand theft during a state of emergency. PBSO arrested Cooke Thursday afternoon and Cooke was in court Friday morning to face the charges. A judge set bond at $28,000. Three PBSO deputies responded on Sept. 12 to check on an elderly man in suburban Boynton Beach after the man’s son said an inside surveillance system hadn't detected motion on it, according to an arrest report. The elderly man weathered Hurricane Irma home alone. Records show Cooke was never assigned to that call.
Two words: Dumb Ass.

The hue and cry over Florida not being able to afford the Medicaid and other welfare benefits to the Puerto Rican refugees is going insane. I thought these were federal benefits not state ones. Central Florida is feeling it the most. Where are these people going to live? Go to school? Work if capable?

The only explanation can be Joseph Saur might have once vacationed in Florida. Bizarre. Teen fatally shoots woman, claims she was his father who had sex changeA Colorado teen accused of killing a 28-year-old woman claimed the victim actually was his father who he said underwent a sex change. Joseph Saur, 19, walked into the Olathe Police Department on Monday and confessed to fatally shooting his dad. Saur was "gasping for breath" and was "visibly emotional and distraught," according to court documents obtained by TV station KUSA. However, when police contacted Saur's biological father, he answered the phone and said his son had been using meth again, the station reported. Officers went to the home where Saur said he killed his father, and found the body of 28-year-old Patience Stewart. She had been shot multiple times. Saur claimed that his father had a sex change procedure to "keep from getting caught," according to the station. The teen said Stewart gave him "hints" she was his father, but did not elaborate, according to the Montrose Press. "Joseph stated he grabbed a gun and shot Patience in self-defense," according to court documents obtained by the Montrose Press. "Joseph said Patience was getting mad at him and was figuring out that Joseph 'knew' about this new identity." Saur was arrested and booked on first-degree murder charges. link

www.wptv.com/news/region-indian-river-county/vero-beach/cheyenne-west-treasure-coast-woman-switches-tags-to-get-1-800-in-electronics-for-3-70VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Treasure Coast woman tried to sneak more than $1,800 worth of electronics through a Walmart's self-checkout by switching the items' price tags with those from clearance items.
Treasure Coast Newspapers reports that 25-year-old Cheyenne Amber West, who lives near Fort Pierce, was arrested Monday and charged with felony grand theft and felony shoplifting.
An arrest report says a loss-prevention officer at the Vero Beach Walmart told a deputy he saw West and another woman select a computer, video game controllers and other merchandise from the electronics department.
The report says West, whose occupation is a waitress, covered the bar codes with stickers removed from less expensive items that rang up to just $3.70...
OK, let's just do some math, Princess. A computer, game controllers and other electronics for $3.70? In what part of your tiny little bleached-blonde mind did you think this was going to get through even the bleary-eyed, tooth-deprived, buttcrack-proud WalMart cashier?

Zib, Medicaid is a Joint federal/state program so the onus is not only on FL. www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/financing-and-reimbursement/Financing & Reimbursement
The Medicaid program is jointly funded by the federal government and states. The federal government pays states for a specified percentage of program expenditures, called the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP).
FMAP varies by state based on criteria such as per capita income. The regular average state FMAP is 57%, but ranges from 50% in wealthier states up to 75% in states with lower per capita incomes (the maximum regular FMAP is 82 %).
FMAPs are adjusted for each state on a three-year cycle to account for fluctuations in the economy. The FMAP is published annually in the Federal Register.

Gansta Retirement Community! Get your F-ing Emotional Support Squirrel out of our Retirement Community !! A Florida man has been served with an eviction notice over his emotional support squirrel.
Ryan Boylan, 40, of Clearwater, says he needs Brutis to deal with anxiety from a long ago car accident but Island Walk Condominiums says the squirrel needs to vacate the premises because she is putting other residents at risk.
“I am not sure how any animal that weighs less than 2 pounds can harm anyone,” Boylan told news caster!

Duh moments can be found everywhere... "SPANAWAY, Wash. (KOMO) -- If you for some reason can't remember where you parked your car, calling 911 to report a fake carjacking is not the best way to find it. It will, however, help you find the backseat of a police car. The man called 911 Sunday evening reporting he had just been carjacked at knife-point at a Walmart in Spanaway, according to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department. Five Pierce County Sheriff's deputies raced to the scene and found the victim, who it turns out wasn't really a victim, except of bad judgment. There was no carjacking -- the man said he couldn't remember where he parked his car and figured deputies would get there faster if he said he was carjacked, deputies said. He even provided a fake description of an attacker to 911 dispatchers "so it would sound more real." kutv.com/news/offbeat/man-calls-911-reporting-fake-carjacking-in-hopes-deputies-would-help-find-where-he-parkedFYI: He apologized and was promptly arrested.

not to derail, but how's the panhandle? Much of this crazy seems to be Miami/etc. considering retiring to Destin/pcola/panama beach area. thoughts from our Floridian pals? Sorry, I don't know anything about the area. Maybe NancysSummerSip can advise you.

Seriously?!? I can't believe this! Mom tied 9yr old to roof of minivan to hold down pool A Wisconsin woman is facing charges after her 9-year-old son was tied to the roof of their minivan to help hold down a plastic pool. Prosecutors allege 28-year-old Amber Schmunk had her son hold down the molded pool they’d just purchased because it wouldn’t fit inside the van. WISN-TV reports a witness called police after seeing the incident on Sept. 9 in Saukville, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Milwaukee. Police documents allege Schmunk told an officer she thought it was OK because her father allowed her to do similar things when she was young. kutv.com/news/nation-world/police-mom-tied-boy-to-minivans-roof-to-hold-down-plastic-pool

The search for the Seminole Heights murderer has drifted into my neighborhood which is not a sketchy area. Woken up at 5 am by helicopters overhead with search lights and police cars everywhere. Got my gun ready just in case he takes cover in my house. Turned on my outside lights as well to help police. I think the door to door search yesterday flushed that bastard out! I sure hope so. Please don’t take him alive.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the area. Maybe NancysSummerSip can advise you. Funny you should ask. It's really pretty up there. Not much industry other than the Air Force, and you do get seasons in that area. Beaches are still good, except during Spring Break college invasion time. It's much more of a southern town vibe, closer to Mississippi and Alabama feel than Florida. I think you would like it.

Please don’t take him alive. I hope they do take him alive. Student of criminal justice that I am, I want to know WTF he (or she) was thinking. I want to know motive and reasoning, such as it is. But if it comes down to preventing another killing, then police need to do whatever it takes to end it.

I don’t want to pay to keep that murderer alive. He just killed a 60 year old volunteer. Not that the other lives weren’t also important but the justice system doesn’t work.

I think you might need a dog, zibazinski. Bad Boy Puppy is an over-sized lap dog when it comes to family, but if he hears anyone walking by our house, including the middle of the night, he goes into his Cujo act. Hope they catch that crazy guy soon. Haven't heard any details lately here. Are they giving you more information there on what they think the suspect looks like?

It's not much of a description at all, and apparently, the suspect either lives in the neighborhood or knows it well, because the disappearing act he's pulling is working well. And now, because we need it: a little pre-holiday levity: www.villages-news.com/villager-dressed-turkey-costume-arrested-theft-merchandise-belk/A 67-year-old resident of The Villages who was wearing a turkey costume was arrested in the theft of more than $1,000 in merchandise at Belk. Irene Leonhard of the Village of Country Club Hills entered the store at La Plaza Grande shortly after noon Friday, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. She was carrying a blue mesh bag and small brown purse when she entered the store. She selected a Michael Kors purse, removed the paper from inside the purse and put it into her bag. She then selected several other items, put them into her bag and left the store. Leonhard had taken a total of 11 items worth a total of $1,497.99, the report indicated...
OK, I am all for getting into the spirit of the holidays. But doesn't stealing a whole lotta stuff kinda negate the idea of the turkey outfit and the smiley face she's wearing in the perp photo? And it's grand theft, people! She's gonna have some 'splainin' to do to the grandkids when they arrive at her house next week!

www.wptv.com/sports/tampa-bay-bucs-qb-jameis-winston-reportedly-groped-an-uber-driver-in-2016-buzzfeed-news-reportsThe NFL is reportedly investigating allegations that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Jameis Winston, groped a female Uber driver in 2016, according to BuzzFeed News. Winston however, says the allegations are false. In an article posted on Friday, BuzzFeed says a letter was sent from the NFL's special counsel for investigations to the Uber driver on Thursday. The incident reportedly happened in Scottsdale, Arizona at approximately 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 13, 2016. The female Uber driver, identified as Kate, told BuzzFeed News that when she arrived to the location to pick up her passenger, a group of men told her that she would be driving around someone famous. Jameis Winston sat down in the front passenger seat and the Uber driver says right after she started driving, Winston began behaving poorly...
Great. First it's women at FSU accusing him of rape (he settled those cases), then grabbing crab legs at Publix and now this. Dude, keeping your hands to yourself should not be a tough lesson at this point.

Beaches are still good, except during Spring Break college invasion time. It's much more of a southern town vibe, closer to Mississippi and Alabama feel than Florida. I think you would like it. OK, so i'm hearing avoid spring break season. when's the best time to travel there with kids then? the very first week school ends (mid june?) If you were going to live there part time, and money were no object, which months would you reside there, vs somewhere else (considering a winter spot when we retire, or a full move) we could buy and rent the house out april, july,august and spend the rest o fhte year there? Actually, it's nice there in October and November, also early June is still not the worst of summer. And it's the beaches that are bad during Spring Break, and that's less than a month out of the entire year (mid-March to mid-April, depending on when Easter falls). I think it's a nice year-round place, but renting it out for the summer should be fairly easy. I would avoid Spring Break rentals, unless it's to families. DO NOT rent to college students for any amount of money. You might as well trash the place yourself. There are enough Air Force folks and related contractors there who would probably like to rent.

She's now known as The Village Vulture. Maybe she was doing her Christmas "shopping". Bwahaha Of course. Just what the grandkids wanted; the "hottest" items on their list came from their grabbin' granny.

This guy also called the police to report his vehicle stolen: Man Forgets Where He Parked, Finds Car 20 Years LaterMisplacing your stuff is the worst. Not being able to find something important and not being able to retrace your steps is one of the most frustrating feelings in the world, whether it’s your good sweater that you’re pretty sure you didn’t let your roommate borrow, your phone, or especially your car keys. It’s probably even more frustrating when you lose an entire car. Authorities in Frankfurt, Germany have tracked down a man’s car that was reported stolen back in 1997. This would be a run-of-the-mill case, except that the car was not, in fact, stolen, but actually simply parked in an old industrial building. Apparently, the man, who is now 76 years old, according to the German paper Augsberger Allgemein, simply forgot where he parked it and assumed it was taken. It’s like "Dude, Where’s My Car?" only much longer and without any aliens. Unfortunately, the car is no longer functional and had to be demolished.

(KOMO) -- If you for some reason can't remember where you parked your car, calling 911 to report a fake carjacking is not the best way to find it. This guy also called the police to report his vehicle stolen: Man Forgets Where He Parked, Finds Car 20 Years LaterMisplacing your stuff is the worst. Not being able to find something important and not being able to retrace your steps is one of the most frustrating feelings in the world, whether it’s your good sweater that you’re pretty sure you didn’t let your roommate borrow, your phone, or especially your car keys. It’s probably even more frustrating when you lose an entire car. Authorities in Frankfurt, Germany have tracked down a man’s car that was reported stolen back in 1997. This would be a run-of-the-mill case, except that the car was not, in fact, stolen, but actually simply parked in an old industrial building. Apparently, the man, who is now 76 years old, according to the German paper Augsberger Allgemein, simply forgot where he parked it and assumed it was taken. It’s like "Dude, Where’s My Car?" only much longer and without any aliens. Unfortunately, the car is no longer functional and had to be demolished. Man Forgets Where He Parked, Finds Car 20 Years LaterI used to have a roommate that did this when she got drunk, which was pretty often! (She was in her 40's)

Is he launching himself in the rocket when it goes off the motor home? It sounds like Gilligan's Island meets Dumb and Dumber. ****************************************************** www.wptv.com/news/national/florida-woman-allegedly-stalked-racer-tony-stewart-charged-with-terroristic-mischiefINDIANAPOLIS — A Florida woman stalked and left threatening messages for NASCAR driver Tony Stewart and his family for more than a year over anger that he failed to give her an autograph at a race, according to criminal charges filed last week. Kathi Russell, 68, of Cape Coral, Florida, was taken into custody on Tuesday on felony charges of stalking, terroristic mischief and intimidation for an alleged campaign of harassment against Stewart lasting from March 2016 through October of this year.... According to the affidavit, Russell told a DEA agent that the harassment started because Stewart declined to sign an item of memorabilia for her at a racing event. “Ms. Russell stated she repeatedly tried to get Mr. Stewart’s attention and get him to sign an item of racing memorabilia, but Mr. Stewart ignored Ms. Russell’s attempts and Ms. Russell state she felt like she was ignored,” the affidavit reads.... On Sept. 27, investigators allege Russell sent an envelope filled with a large amount of an unknown white powdery substances to the Indianapolis law firm Ice Miller LLP, which had sent Russell a notice that she had violated a protective order against her by Stewart’s mother. The envelope caused an Anthrax scare and the evacuation of the Ice Miller building in downtown Indianapolis. The powder was eventually determined to be baking soda. According to the affidavit, investigators traced the powder to Russell because it arrived in the same envelope that Ice Miller had sent her the protection order violation in...
So, let's get all this straight. You're a bozo and a butthead in the bargain. You're a pissy little princess because you did not get an autograph, so you not only commit several crimes, some of them felonies at the federal level, you make it damned easy to find you by recycling an envelope. Oh, OK...at least you did the right thing reusing the envelope.
