Fred Smith: 82-year-old Florida man arrested for slashing 88-year-old woman's tires over bingo
Associated Press
4:29 AM, May 29, 2015


LAKE WALES, FL - Police have arrested an 82-year-old Lake Wales man for slashing a woman's tires because he claimed she was sitting in his favorite bingo seat.

WTVT-TV reports Fred Leslie Smith was charged with criminal mischief last Monday when police say he took an ice pick to 88-year-old Ethel Britt's van during a weekly bingo game at the Lake Ashton Retirement Community Club House.

Police say Smith stormed out of the bingo hall and punctured two of Britt's tires because she was sitting in a chair he usually sits in. Smith was caught on surveillance video in the act.

Lake Wales Deputy Chief Troy Schulze Smith says Smith admitted to the crime and expressed regret. Smith faces having to pay $500 in tire damage and restitution back to Britt.

@panzade,
It was in Texas, also, until the advent of game rooms.

Florida man claims he danced on patrol vehicle to save children from vampires

LEE COUNTY, FL - Disco fever or dancing with the devil? Either way you look at it, one man's moves have landed him in some hot water.

44-year-old Christian Radecki of Cape Coral was arrested April 7th after he was caught on surveillance video bumping his car into the back of a Lee County Sheriff's Office marked patrol vehicle. He then began dancing on the patrol vehicle's roof while music blared from his car, and then broke the windshield wipers and took an American Flag from the neighbor's yard.

Redecki, a convicted sexual offender, was arrested for Disturbing the Peace and Criminal Mischief after the neighbors called the police.

According to a Cape Coral Police report, Radecki said it all began when a "woman with fangs" came to his door, threatening that a human sacrifice was about to occur involving vampires. "Therefore, Radecki made the conscious decision to get the Sheriff of Nottingham to help him stop the slaughter of small children," the report states.

Radecki told officers that he had not taken any recreational drugs or alcohol, has not been diagnosed with any mental health conditions, nor did he take any prescribed medication.

Radecki was taken to Cape Coral Hospital for medical clearance, then transferred to the Lee County Justice Center in apparent good health.

For the record, his dance playlist started with Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl", and ended after Supertramp's "Goodbye Stranger."

@Ticomaya,
You know, if that had happened in Albuquerque, he would have probably become shot. Seriously.

Yep. Phoenix too, Roger.

Speaking of Alba-Turkey ... I'll be making my annual stopover there tomorrow night, on my way through to Colorado. I hope you guys have better weather than we're having right now (rainy and stormy).

I love my sister but I have no idea why she stays in Cape Coral, FL (other than the cost of living being low).

Get Out Of The Car!

(This is supposedly a true account recorded in the Police Log of Sarasota, Florida)

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her lungs, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!"

The four men didn't wait for a second threat. They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition.

She tried and tried, and then she realized why. It was for the same reason she had wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee, and two 12-packs of beer in the front seat. A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down.

She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police
station to report her mistake. The sergeant to whom she told the story
couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where
four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman
described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair,
and carrying a large handgun.

No charges were filed. Moral of the story?
If you're going to have a senior moment...make it a good one.

@parados,
OK so this reminds me of a trip to Florida where we went on a air boat tour (aka tourist trap) in an "authentic" cruise of the everglades where you can view real gators in their natural habitat and which ended in a replica of an authentic semione indian village.

We were warned by some local young men that we might not want to really go on such a tour - against their advice, we went. On the airboat ride - we come up to a small island - these cute raccons come running towards us - the airboat operator then proceeded to hand them marshmellows.

We go further and this alligator comes right up to the boat -- cool huh, not so much, the operator taps him on his snout, he opens his mouth and the operators begins to feed the alligator marshmellows.

So we end at the Indian village - it was so poor and ended in a cheap gift shop where our authentic seminole indian was smoking a butt (not a peace pipe) - and selling plastic alligators.

We met up with those young men that evening and they laughed their a$$es off at us saying we told you so.

Maybe this the alligator and raccoon. He probably doesn't have any teeth left from the sugar.
