Two Boffo Stories:

Story One: Man arrested for giving wicked wedgies, or snuggies, or melvyns, or whatever you call pulling the underwear over a nerd's head.

Story Two: Fifty Year Old School Teacher Gets Tanked on Cheap Wine, wrecks her van, offers to blow the cop if he lets her go.

Florida, I love you. You're just so fun!

Story #1:
Charles Ross is known for orchestrating outrageous pranks and posting them to Youtube. But this time, the 18-year-old prankster may have gone a step too far.

Ross was arrested for battery Sunday night after he allegedly gave a series of wedgies to moviegoers outside the Carmike Royal Palm 20 in Bradenton, Fla., while a friend filmed the prank, the Bradenton Herald reports.

The underwear prank, which Gawker calls a "wedgie spree," ended badly for Ross when a 20-year-old male victim reported to authorities that Ross grabbed him "by the back of his pants and pulled them up hard," according to the Smoking Gun. Although other victims of the schoolyard prank also came forward, the 20-year-old is the only one seeking charges.

On his Youtube channel, Ross has uploaded video footage of him performing a variety of pranks -- from doing handstands over people to trying out pick-up lines -- but the latest in his compilation is by far one of his most hands-on public displays.

According to the police report obtained by the Smoking Gun, Ross challenged the male victim following the wedgie, "asking if he wanted to hit him."

The Mantee County Sheriff's Office arrested Ross and detained him overnight. He was released on $750 bail, records show, and his court date is set for Feb. 14.

Though Ross' wedgie spree was meant in jest, this is not the first time someone has been arrested for doling out the uncomfortable underwear gag. In 2006, an Albany, N.Y., teacher was arrested for endangering the welfare of a child after allegedly giving a 10-year-old student a wedgie during summer school.

Story #2:
'A' for effort?
Middle school math teacher Mary Maloney allegedly offered oral sex to a police officer after being nabbed for a hit-and-run in Palm Beach County, Fla.

Maloney, 53, was arrested Sunday after she crashed her van into a pickup truck around 8:35 p.m., then took off, according to an arrest report obtained by the Sun Sentinel. A witness to the crash tracked Maloney's car to a parking spot and then called police.

The arresting officer said he found an empty gallon jug of wine behind Maloney's driver's seat and "immediately smelled the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from her person," according to WPTV. The report states that her eyes were glassy, bloodshot, and partially closed.
The officer that drove Maloney to the police station noted that she asked him "How much do I need to pay you to just let me go? Don't you understand I am a school teacher?"

She then allegedly offered to perform oral sex on him and allow him to fondle her breasts.

Maloney was charged with driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a crash with damage, resisting an officer without violence, driving with a suspended license and attempted bribery of a public servant.

The deputy used a stun gun on the suspect, but it had no effect. A K-9 officer also bit him, but that didn’t stop him. Deputies eventually pried him off the man’s body.

ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. —A woman says her husband's ashes were responsible for the evacuation of a Florida post office Monday morning.

The woman, who spoke to WPBF's Sanika Dange, did not want to reveal her name.

Monday marked one year since her husband's death, so she took some of his ashes to a Mass being held in his honor.

After Mass was over, she headed to the post office to run some errands and accidentally left the ashes behind.

She didn't notice that the ashes were missing until after she went to breakfast and returned home.

Meanwhile, officials had already begun responding to reports of a suspicious powdery substance at the post office.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue arrived just before 11:30 a.m. and created a perimeter.

The post office post office was evacuated as hazmat teams went in to test the substance.

When the woman returned to collect the ashes, she saw the heavy police presence in the area, and she said she realized what had happened.

She spoke to deputies and regained custody of the ashes.

The scene was also cleared by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

As she walked out of the Royal Palm Beach Post Office, the woman told Dange that she was anxious to get home and relax after such an eventful day.

"I think it was a sign. It's him telling me that he's still around and he's still kicking somewhere and he just wanted me to know about it," the woman said.

She also extended an apology to all the first responders.

Man Jailed For Oral Activity On Boardwalk

Police: Floridian, 50, serviced woman in public

AUGUST 25--A man spotted yesterday afternoon performing oral sex on a woman lying down on a Florida beach boardwalk told cops that he was an “emergency responder and had to assist the female as it was his duty,” according to a criminal complaint.

A Treasure Island Police Department officer found Tracy Briley, 50, with his shorts at his ankles and “penis out in plain view” around 1 PM Wednesday. Briley, the cop noted, “was performing cunnilingus on a female subject laying on the beach boardwalk.”

Briley, seen at right, told the officer that he was homeless and “had nowhere else to have sex except in public.”

A witness told police that he (and his three-year-old grandson) “observed the act of cunnilingus.”

When Officer Zakariah Dorman arrived on the boardwalk, Briley’s companion--who is not identified in the complaint--was clothed. She was subsequently transported to a local hospital “reference to a medical issue.”

Briley was transported to the county jail, where he is being held in lieu of $10,000 on a felony lewd and lascivious exhibition charge. He was also hit with a misdemeanor trespassing count.

Briley’s rap sheet includes prior busts for battery; possession of drug paraphernalia; evidence tampering; robbery; disorderly conduct; littering; and possession of an open container.

Kid in Florida Daycare comes home covered in bites...from another kid in daycare!

https://www.yahoo.com/news/toddler-m...220343577.html

Amanda Beebe rushed to the day care center where she left her 18-month-old and became hysterical. Her boy's body was covered with more than a dozen bite marks. His face, limbs and back were swollen and raw.

Who bit her boy? Where were the adults? How could this happen at a day care?

"It looked like he'd been mauled by an animal," Beebe told The Associated Press on Wednesday. But the doctor at the hospital told Beebe that by the look of the marks, her son had been bitten by another child.

Now, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office and child welfare authorities are investigating the J's Bright Learners center in Bradenton, and an employee there could face charges of child neglect.

A woman who answered the phone at the day care Wednesday said no one there could comment.

Beebe said she had recently put her two children, the 18-month-old and his 4-year-old brother, into the day care so she could continue her education in alternative medicine. She was paying $40 a week — all she could afford — with a government voucher covering the rest.

On Aug. 26, a day care worker notified Beebe and her husband that their younger boy had been bitten once.

"We weren't upset — that happens with children," said Beebe, who assumed workers would keep a watchful eye on the child with the biting issues.

Three days later, she got another call. This time, the employee said "it's bad, it's really bad," she recalled.

She hung up and rushed to the center, where her boy was covered with bites and inconsolable.

"As a mom, you don't ever know what you're going to do in a situation. The anger didn't set in until later," she said. "This is my son; he's been hurt. As a mom you feel like this was your fault."

She rushed him to a hospital, where doctors called authorities.

A week later, Beebe is shocked that no one's been arrested.

According to the Bradenton Herald, Florida's Department of Children and Families has issued violations to J's Bright Learners six times after its last 12 inspections, for leaving children unsupervised or failing to have enough staff to care for the number of children.

"I just want everyone to know this is not OK. I want justice," said Beebe, who published pictures of her boy's injuries on Facebook in a post that generated some 47,000 comments in a week.

She doesn't blame the other child — she blames the adults. She chose this day care because it was one of the few she could afford, and it had cameras. They allowed her to watch a recording, but because of the angle, she couldn't see her son being bitten, only that there appeared to be no adult in the room for about 20 minutes as her son came into view, crying.

Her son received antibiotics and he's on the mend, she said.

"I'm just grateful it's not worse," she said." I'm trying to look at the bright side."

Tampa man testing bulletproof vest dies after cousin shoots him
By WFLA Web Staff
Published: September 11, 2016, 2:29 pm Updated: September 12, 2016, 11:48 am
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – A man wanted to see if a bulletproof vest that he had actually worked, so his cousin shot him in the chest, and wound up killing him, according to Tampa police.

It happened at a home located on Gordon Street in Tampa Saturday evening. Shortly after 10 p.m. TPD officers responded to the home after a report of a shooting.

When they arrived they located the victim outside of the house with a gunshot wound to the chest. In the house, the officers found blood and a bulletproof vest. Alexandro Garibaldi, 24, told them that he heard a gunshot and found the victim outside.

But a witness at the scene told another story. The witness said that the victim Joaquin Mendez, 23, sat in a chair and put on a bulletproof vest. He wondered out loud whether it still worked. Garibaldi took out a handgun, stated “Let’s see,” and shot at the vest. The vest was found in the house with a projectile entrance hole, according to TPD.

Mendez was taken to a hospital where he died from his injuries.

Garibaldi was arrested and charged with manslaughter with a weapon and felon in possession of a firearm.

Well, I'd take the vest back for a refund, that's for sure...

Soon, Floridians will glow in the dark!

MULBERRY, FL (KTRK) --
Officials say a massive sinkhole in Florida has allowed millions of gallons of radioactive water to pour into one of the world's most productive aquifers.

The sinkhole was found by crews in a containment pond at the New Wales Mosaic plant in Mulberry on August 27th.

A field technician found the water level had dropped at one of the ponds, and upon investigation, found a 45-foot hole with seemingly no bottom, WFTS-TV reports.

Since then, about 215 million gallons of contaminated water used to process fertilizer has drained into the hole.

A recovery well was built to pull the contaminated water out of the aquifer. So far, tests have not detected contaminants in the groundwater, meaning the pumps are working, officials say.

Just three months into their marriage, a Florida couple got the surprise of their lives after discovering that the bride was the groom’s biological granddaughter.

According to the Florida Sun Post, the couple - who have requested to remain anonymous - came to the startling discovery while looking through the 68-year-old’s photo albums, which included pictures of his first wife and their children. His 24-year-old wife instantly recognized one of the children as her estranged father, who she says kicked her out of the house when she was a teenager after she’d accidentally gotten pregnant.

As the husband explained to the Florida Sun Post, he and his first wife had gone through a terrible split, and when she left him, she took their kids with her and moved to an undisclosed location. Despite his many efforts to find them, he was never able to, and eventually, he got remarried and started a new family with his second wife. However, that marriage also ended messily - but in a stroke of luck two years later, the 68-year-old ended up winning “several million dollars” in the lottery.

He soon decided he was ready for love again, and after signing up for a dating website, he came across his future wife’s profile.

“I just felt strange when I saw her photos,” the man said. “It was like a sense of déjà vu, but at the time I couldn’t figure out why she seemed so familiar.“

Despite finally figuring it out, however, the couple have decided to stay together, and have no plans of getting divorced.

“If we’d never found out, we would’ve lived out lives happily together, and us being related shouldn’t change that,” the 68-year-old said.

"Every couple is different and special in their own ways,” his wife added.
