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.

Cocaine is illegal???

Who knew???

http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/Cocaine...247327091.html

A Key West man arrested on cocaine possession allegedly told police he did not know the drug was illegal in the state of Florida, according to a police report.

Officers responded to a call reporting three suspicious people standing behind the Conch Tour Station and then walking onto the property of the Pier House Resort Sunday, the report said.

When police arrived and found the subjects, an officer saw 46-year-old Guy Lanchester stand up from a seated position and walk behind a "sign/flower pot to conceal his actions," the report said.

The officer walked toward Lanchester and saw he was fumbling with a small plastic bag that appeared to contain a white powder, police said. When the officer asked what he had in his hand, Lanchester quickly shoved the bag into the flower pot, according to the report.

The officer retrieved the bag and tested the substance, which came out positive for cocaine.

When he got to the jail, Lanchester told police, "I don't understand... I thought cocaine wasn't illegal in Florida," according to the report.

Lanchester is being held without bond, online jail records show.

16 year old steals a truck, wrecks 23 cars in a joyride:

http://www.wfla.com/story/24881401/s...uit-in-manatee

WEST BRADENTON, FL (WFLA) - The Manatee County Sheriff's Office now says a total of 23 accidents were caused Tuesday morning during a pursuit of a stolen vehicle.

Deputies say the pick-up truck was stolen by a 16-year-old runaway from Arcadia, from an auto shop on 60th Street in West Bradenton around 10 a.m.

During a press conference held Tuesday afternoon, Manatee County Sheriff's Office PIO Dave Bristow says the juvenile suspect rode up to the shop on his bike, determined the keys were still in the vehicle, and took off in the truck.

"We haven't really interviewed him yet to find out why," Bristow said. "I mean obviously he wanted to go on a joyride, but that was one heck of a joyride."

Bristow says the owner of the shop and the victim attempted to follow the truck before police pursued him. Investigators believe the teen hit as many as 23 cars trying to get through traffic.

One of the cars he damaged was driven by Terry Farren, who is on vacation from Pennsylvania. Farren was stuck on Cortez Bridge, and saw the truck in his rear view mirror.

"I saw a red pickup coming down the middle of a two-lane bridge, and cars were going off on either side," Farren said. "I tried to get off as far as I could, but couldn't, and he got the rear end of my car."

Deputies called off the chase at one point due to unsafe conditions on the Manatee Avenue Bridge, then reconnected with him near the Cortez Bridge where the truck crashed and he was taken into custody.

Bristow said nine of the 23 crashes were caused on the bridge.

"We haven’t had anything like this, that I can recall, with this many crashes," he said. "It's just incredible."

No serious injuries were reported in the crashes. The teen faces a number of charges including grand theft auto, aggravated fleeing to elude, reckless driving, and multiple counts of leaving the scene of an accident.

In addition to Manatee County deputies, Bradenton Beach Police, Holmes Beach Police and Bradenton City Police assisted in the pursuit.

The Cortez Bridge was closed for about three hours due to the crashes.

LONG read..but very intresting!!

**gblowfish** · 03-19-2014, 11:52 AM

I scream, you scream, we all scream.... and torch our car... for ICE CREAM!

Witnesses say a Florida woman gave a man's car the ol' gasoline-plus-fire-combo after he refused to purchase a McFlurry dessert for her at McDonald's.

Bystanders watched the unnamed pair as their argument over frozen treats escalated (something tells us there was more going on here) around 12:30 a.m. Sunday at the McDonald's near St. Johns Bluff, WFTV reports.

"Next thing you know, she says 'I'm going to blow it up,' and we were wondering what are you going to blow up?" witness Sabryna Maré told Action News Jax.

Answer: The dude's car.

"She got something out of the car that happened to be a bottle and then she got gasoline from who knows where," Maré explained. "Then she poured everything all over it and next thing you know there was a match and it was up in flames."

The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue arrived to put out the flaming 1994 El Dorado, but by then the suspect was gone. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Best thing for the El Dorado probably.

Wow...a Florida double header today!

We have a trend, people. A horrible trend that must stop trending.

Man Caught Having Sex With Pit Bull in Yard by Horrified Neighbors

Just two weeks after a Tampa man was arrested for raping his pit bull as neighbors tried to stop him, ignominious Florida history has repeated itself in Daytona:

James Bull, 61, has been charged with felony animal cruelty and another misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty.

According to the report, neighbors told police on Tuesday they saw Bull having sexual conduct with his 8-month-old female dog on his front porch of his Magnolia Avenue apartment.

Bull is in jail on a $15,000 bond. No word on whether he's been anyone's dog in the lockup yet. Fingers crossed.

I find this thread very interesting but just realized the thread starter is from Independence Mo? Florida is a big state with alot of people and crazy stuff happens no doubt, but Independence? We lived there when I was a kid and remember the town as a shit hole meth capitol. I wouldn't leave SWFL to go back to KC if my life depended on it.
After 12 years my wife still refers to kc as home, I quit that thinking the day I left.

Oh well gotta go, time to jump in the boat and go catch some snook and drink a few cold one's.
