Pensacola man accused of exposing genitals to women while riding Walmart scooter

 

A Pensacola man was arrested for allegedly exposing his genitals and scooting toward women while riding a Walmart in-store scooter.

 

Kejuan Mccants, 27, was arrested Thursday and charged with indecent exposure. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail on a $10,000 bond.

 

Police responded around 5 p.m. May 4 to the Walmart on Creighton Road after a man allegedly exposed his sexual organs to at least one female shopper and one female employee, according to Mccants' arrest report.

 

One store patron told police she had been shopping in the apparels and accessories department and had just turned down the sunglasses aisle when she heard a man say "hey," the report states.

 

The woman turned around and saw Mccants sitting on one of the store’s motorized scooters with his genitals exposed, according to the report.

Shirtless Florida Man Steals Police Cruiser, Leads Cops on 149 MPH Chase

 

A shirtless Florida man managed to steal a Florida Highway Patrol trooper's cruiser and lead law enforcement officials on a 11-mile chase that reached speeds up to 149 MPH earlier this month, newly released dashcam video shows.

 

According to law enforcement officials in Florida, a FHP trooper was cruising up Florida's Turnpike near Okeechobee, Florida, when he saw the suspect, later identified as 22-year-old Shane Jensen, sitting in the shoulder of the northbound lane. The trooper pulled up to speak with the shirtless Jensen for a few minutes, believing the man to be "medically distressed" because the 22-year-old was "incoherent when the trooper began talking with him," FHP said in a release about the incident.

 

However, when the trooper turned to speak with a Florida Department of Transportation Road Ranger, investigators say Jensen saw his chance to take the trooper's 2013 Dodge Charger. Video footage of the incident showed the shirtless suspect jumping into the trooper's cruiser and driving off, even as the trooper yelled commands for him to stop.

 

Troopers set up a roadblock, causing traffic to slow until the suspect was caught up in the gridlock. Three officers approached the cruiser and attempted to open the passenger-side door on the vehicle to get inside and stop Jansen, but he was able to get away after accelerating through the road shoulder to escape, video from the scene shows.

When Jansen made it to the roadblock, he turned around and fled.

 

Dashcam footage of the chase showed Jansen speeding and weaving through traffic at speeds of up to 149 mph.

 

Eventually, the suspect drove over a spike strip, forcing him to come to a stop.

Vacationers Find Alligator Lounging on Alligator Pool Float at Their Miami Airbnb

 

Here are some places in Florida where you can reasonably expect to encounter an alligator: a storm sewer, the end of an airport runway, your local golf course. But this might be a first — while in town for a wedding, Georgia resident Dave Jacobs and his family spotted a gator casually chilling on an alligator-shaped pool float at their Airbnb in South Miami.

 

"My daughter, who’s 14, was like, 'Dad, this is soooo meta,'" Jacobs tells New Times.

Florida man poses as FBI agent, dumps live catfish on woman's driveway

 

NAPLES, Fla. (WFOR via CNN Wire) -- There was something fishy about a Florida man caught trying to impersonate an FBI agent and leaving live catfish on a homeowner’s lawn.

 

According to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, Kristian Dudley, 42, was arrested May 10 after riding his bicycle onto the front lawn of a Naples home and telling a woman in the home he was an FBI agent.

 

He was wearing a hat with ‘FBI” printed on it and his bicycle had flashing red and blue lights, according to the police report.

 

Deputies said Dudley told the woman she needed to show proof of ID that she was in the United States legally.

 

She told Dudley she was a U.S. citizen and he needed to leave her property or she would call the police.

 

Dudley refused to leave and told her “he was the police,” deputies said.

 

The woman’s husband then came outside and told Dudley to leave, but Dudley continued to tell them he was an FBI agent and they were guilty of housing illegal aliens in their home.

 

The husband eventually called police and Dudley began to ride off on his bicycle, but not before dumping several live catfish on the driveway.

This Is Florida: Police And Elderly Man Exchange Gunfire Over A Parking Space

 

Whether it’s in New York City or small towns in France, parking arguments seem to be a universal language. However, most of those arguments don’t tend to escalate to one party pulling out a gun and shooting wildly into the public.

 

That’s exactly what happened in Florida when a parking dispute led to an elderly man shooting his blindly before being arrested over the weekend.

 

The incident began in the parking lot of Pembroke Pines Mall in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Both drivers were trying to get a space outside the mall’s movie theater when the argument started. The argument continued until 81-year-old Solomon Stinson pulled out his gun and began firing at the victim’s car, shattering the back windshield. Stinson then hopped back into his car and drove off.

 

Passing police saw the former Miami-Dade County School Board member driving down the street, still firing his gun indiscriminately. This led to a chase between Stinson and police, which took a small pause when Stinson got out of his car and began exchanging gunfire with police. He then got back into his car and drove off before he lost control of the vehicle shortly after. After trying to flee on foot, police caught up with Stinson and took him into custody.

Vulture invasion damages homes, cars in East Orange County neighborhood

 

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - Andrew and Leslie Wright do not recall seeing many vultures when they first purchased a home in the Tudor Grove at Timber Springs subdivision more than a decade ago.

 

Today, however, it is impossible to enter the gated community in East Orange County without encountering potentially hundreds of black vultures circling in the air, walking on top of roofs or blocking sidewalks with their wings extended.

 

"We're about a mile from the Econ River, so we're in some wild territory where nature exists, and we understand that," said Andrew Wright.  "But 11 years ago, we didn't have this kind of a problem."

 

The Wrights said they began noticing more and more black vultures roosting in the trees around their neighborhood roughly a year ago. They believe encroaching development in the area may have displaced the large birds from their previous habitat.

 

Each day around dawn, the vultures leave the woods and perch themselves on top of homes surrounding a community retention pond.

 

"We get woken up really early in the morning because we're listening to birds land and take off from our roof," said Leslie Wright. "You're making your first cup of coffee, and there's birds everywhere."

 

"It sounds like there are rocks being dropped on our rooftop," said Andrew Wright, who estimates 200 to 300 vultures live around the small subdivision.

 

The birds are also destructive, according to the couple.

 

"They bite the weather-stripping on your car and scratch the roof of your car," Leslie Wright said.

 

The Wrights have already spent more than $1,000 replacing the screens on their pool enclosure that have been ripped apart by the vultures' sharp talons or torn by the weight of several birds sitting on them.

Vultures take over South Daytona neighborhood

 

SOUTH DAYTONA, Fla. - They're a different kind of snowbird, and residents in one Volusia County neighborhood says the unwelcome visitors are leaving a big mess.

 

A flock of vultures has taken up residence in the Harbourside Village Community of South Daytona.

 

"It's a big mess," says resident Miriam Lay, who's lived in South Daytona for nine years.

 

Lay says the birds normally arrive in early December and only stay a few weeks, but that's not the case this year.

 

"They just seem to be lingering on and on and on and won't go away," she says.

 

Lay says she's seen up to 100 of the large birds circling her home. They've torn her pool screen, resulting in hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in damage.

 

She contacted her homeowner's insurance, but was told the policy does not cover "bird damage."

 

She is unable to use her pool because of the bird droppings that accumulate daily, regardless of how often she services her pool. Not only is she fearful to go outside, but she doesn't want to let her dog, Boots, onto the porch.

 

"She's a fat dog, but not a large dog. I don't know if as long as the (bird's) nails are if they would attack," Lay says.

Passengers: Captain drank beer, had cocaine and fired a gun during nightmare fishing trip

 

Passengers say their charter boat captain went on a drunken, drug-infused tirade and threatened to shoot everyone on his boat during a nightmare fishing trip.

 

Sarasota police say passengers aboard the boat told them Captain Mark Bailey, 36, drank rum from the bottle, had multiple beers, got high from cocaine and ended up in an argument with a 15-year-old passenger who reportedly tried to grab his uncle a drink from the captain's pail. 

 

"It was like a movie, unbelievable," said passenger Christopher Giuffre, who was on board with his dad.

 

Giuffre says Bailey ripped a chain off fellow passenger Jason 'Junior' Rialmo's neck for trying to grab the beer for his uncle.

 

"I thought at first he was just playing," Rialmo told 10News. "But then I realized he was serious and I was like I can’t do that.”

 

In statements filed with the Sarasota Police Department, the passengers claim Bailey fired a gun more than once while the vessel was 30-40 miles offshore. 

 

"I hit the deck and scrambled inside and my dad just looked up at the captain wondering what was going on and after that point it was just anxiety and fear," Giuffre told 10News.

"That’s when it was like, ‘Okay, this is a very real situation, these are not idle threats, this is life or death now.'”

 

Giuffre and others say the vessel drove in circles and they called for help because they were in fear for their lives -- thinking they wouldn't get home.

 

The passengers claim Bailey made a racist comment, suggesting he wanted help to "kill n----rs." They also say Bailey suggested popping bullets in each of the people aboard and dumping their "bodies overboard."

Oh, the huge manatee!

 

Traffic brought to a standstill by huge manatee orgy

 

The unusual event, in Tampa Bay, Florida, at first caused concerned passers-by to think that it might be a whale in distress and several of them pulled their cars over to call news channels and coastguards.

 

But once a news helicopter was able to view the churning disturbance in the normally clear waters of the bay it was determined that the phenomenon was a rare example of a manatee "mating ball".

 

Manatees – large plant-eating marine mammals that resemble chubby seals – are thought to be the root of legends about mermaids.

 

Once every three to five years, a group of half-a-dozen or so males will deliberately encircle a smaller number of fertile females and take turns in attempting to mate with them.

Bare naked shady: Nude Florida man accused of flinging his urine at cops

 

A naked Florida man couldn’t be bothered to mind his pees and Qs.

 

“There’s a man out here butt naked!” exclaimed a woman speaking to a 911 operator after witnessing a man wearing nothing but his birthday suit attempt to enter a convenience store several days ago.

 

When the 911 technician asked if the man was sporting any weapons, the caller stated, “No, he is like nude. Nude. He’s very nude!”

 

Employees at the Daytona Beach Circle K locked the store so he couldn’t enter. That’s when he allegedly began urinating on the doors, according to TV station WESH.

 

Cops in the area quickly responded, but that’s when the nude, lewd dude reportedly turned his attention on the officers by allegedly trying to “sling urine” on them.

Shocking moment a mail van hijacked by Florida man high on meth and cocaine flips over as the driver tries to mow down cops

 

This is the shocking moment a Florida man claiming to be high on meth and cocaine led police on a dramatic car chase before crashing the mail van he had carjacked.

 

Jesse Estep, 29, threatened a mail carrier with a mace before demanding the keys to her van. 

 

The terrified woman called police sparking a chase through several Florida counties on Saturday afternoon.   

 

Deputies from the Flagler County Sheriff's Office said they used stop sticks to blow the tires of the truck.

 

Footage showed the truck swaying from side to side alarmingly before crashing off the road.   

 

Police alleged that the suspect 'intentionally swerved and drove the mail truck directly toward' a deputy on the side of the road.

A man accused of causing the death of Pinky, a beloved flamingo at Busch Gardens, was hit by a truck and died, two months before he was to go on trial.

The Tampa Bay Times is reporting that The Florida Highway Patrol says 48-year-old Joseph Corrao was killed June 5 as he crossed a busy road in Orlando.

Iguanas spread in Florida as climate warms: ‘They’re a menace’

 

FORT LAUDERDALE — The first time he saw iguanas on his roof last winter, Bob Lugari was enchanted. He had recently moved from California to South Florida, and the bright green lizards seemed to fit right into the subtropical vibe of his new home.

 

“I thought, how adorable, how cute, how Floridian,” Lugari said. “They looked so tropical. I never had iguanas in California, and I thought, this is part of the Florida experience. I should embrace this.”

 

But soon Lugari found his carefully cultivated ornamental plants defoliated. He started finding messy brown piles of iguana droppings on his pool deck. He saw several lizards, fattened from months of feasting on his flowers, hanging out around his house and yard.

 

“They aren’t cute anymore,” Lugari said this month of the animals, which are not native to Florida. “They’re a menace.”

 

The state of Florida agrees. After a warm winter and now with record-breaking summer heat — the kind of weather iguanas thrive in — the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has declared open season on the exotic reptile.

 

“The FWC encourages homeowners to kill green iguanas on their own property whenever possible,” the commission recently wrote on its website. “Iguanas can also be killed year-round and without a permit on 22 public lands in south Florida.”

 

Agency biologists say they don’t know how many iguanas are in Florida, but they know the kinds of problems they’re causing. These include “erosion, degradation of infrastructure such as water control structures, canal banks, sea walls and building foundations,” state biologist Dan Quinn said in an email.

 

Along with doing damage by digging, iguanas destroy landscaping and ornamental plants, including some that are endangered. They can also carry salmonella.
