    Florida Teen Leads Police On 100 MPH Police Chase Because He Thought It Was ‘Fun’ and He Wasn’t Going Get Caught

    A 19-year-old man has been arrested after reportedly leading Florida police on a high-speed chase for

    “fun,”

    reports Law & Crime. 

    According to authorities, Marion County Sheriff Corporal Jordan Tripp witnessed a 2002 BMW speeding through a red light at 100 mph late on Sunday evening. Tripp immediately activated his emergency lights and began pursuing the vehicle. The driver, identified as 19-year-old Michael Joseph Gonzalez, eventually lost control of the car and veered off the road. 

    Tripp approached Gonzalez, but he quickly fled the scene, reaching speeds of 90 mph and endangering other motorists. Despite efforts to stop the suspect, Tripp was unable to apprehend him due to the speed. Approximately 30 minutes later, other deputies located Gonzalez as he pulled into a 7-Eleven gas station. They conducted a felony traffic stop and successfully took Gonzalez into custody.

    “Post Miranda, the driver advised he had fled from law enforcement because he thought he could get away with it and it would be fun,”

    the affidavit said.

    Gonzalez was apprehended by deputies and charged with fleeing and eluding, showing a reckless disregard for the safety of others and property. He was released from jail after posting a $5,000 bond.

    Sugar Heir Brutally Beats Girlfriend For Telling Him To ‘Drop The Subject’ After He Was Upset About Being Seated Next To Homosexual Couple At Steakhouse

    A 38-year-old heir to a major sugar-producing company was arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman at a popular steakhouse in Florida, Law & Crime reported. The incident reportedly occurred because the man became enraged after being seated next to a gay couple. 

    Alexander N. Fanjul, a member of the Fanjul family who owns and operates Florida Crystals, Domino Sugar, and American Sugar Refining, was taken into custody on Monday and now faces a range of charges, including domestic battery by strangulation, robbery, and false imprisonment of an adult. 

    Palm Beach police responded to a noise complaint at a residence on El Dorado Lane, where a caller reported hearing a woman screaming. First responders said upon arrival they

    “observed a male subject, later identified as Alexander N. Fanjul, standing over a female subject”

    who was

    “on the floor in a defensive ‘fetal’ position and observed to be bleeding from the facial area.”

    The victim told police she had been in a relationship with Fanjul for a year and a half, and that Fanjul had assaulted her and she feared for her life.

    “While at dinner, Fanjul initially became irate because the two were seated next to a homosexual couple…”

    the victim said, according to the affidavit. 

    “When the two arrived at Fanjul’s residence, Fanjul became increasingly irate and continued to speak about his frustration with the restaurant.”

    The woman reportedly told Fanjul to

    “drop the subject and that is when Fanjul began to punch [her] in the face with a closed fist causing bruising, bleeding, and swelling to her facial area,”

    police wrote. 

    Police said they saw visible marks around the victim’s neck and a trail of blood inside the home. Fanjul also faces a count of criminal mischief, cocaine possession, and intimidating or threatening a witness. He has since been released on a $180,000 bond and is to have no contact with the victim.

    Florida Man Purchases Porsche 911 Turbo Using Homemade Check, Police Say

    A Florida man named Casey William Kelley is facing serious charges after allegedly using a fake banknote to buy a Porsche worth $140,000 from a dealership, as reported by Yahoo News.

    The 42-year-old reportedly used his own computer and printer to create a very realistic-looking cashier’s check. However, his plan didn’t go as expected.

    The dealership in Destin, Florida initially had no idea that the check Kelley provided was fake. He happily drove away with the car and title in hand, thinking he had successfully pulled off the fraud. But when the dealership discovered the truth, they immediately contacted the police.

    Kelley felt so confident about his scheme that he went to a jeweler in Miramar Beach and tried to use another fake check, this time for $61,521, to buy three Rolex watches. Luckily, the jeweler was suspicious and decided to keep the watches until the check cleared. It turned out to be worthless, and the police were able to track down Kelley and arrest him.

    Woman Stole Police Car Then Caused Crash That Killed Herself and 2 Others

    According to officials in Florida, a woman stole a law enforcement vehicle and caused a fatal crash with a pickup truck, resulting in the deaths of herself and two others, per PEOPLE.

    Last Thursday, Kendra Boone, 33, started a police chase by stealing a sheriff’s deputy’s vehicle in Marion County. She later drove the stolen vehicle across Florida’s East Highway 40, resulting in a fatal crash.

    The press conference

    Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods revealed that the incident started when Boone attempted to take an elderly woman’s car keys. When the officials arrived, a deputy asked Boone to stay near the back of his patrol car. However, as the deputy stepped out of the vehicle, Boone entered through the passenger window of his vehicle and drove the car after getting into the driver’s seat. 

    Woods presented video evidence from the police body camera, revealing that as the deputy exited his vehicle, Boone stood next to the open passenger door. The deputy circled the car but noticed Boone was gone. He was later heard saying

    “No!”

    as he hurried back to the driver’s side and opened the door.

    The deputy shouted

    “Stop!”

    repeatedly as Boone drove off with the door still open. The deputy attempted to chase the vehicle but then radioed,

    “She just got into my car and drove away.”

    According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, Boone fled at high speed on East Highway 40, drove east for a while, made a U-turn, and escaped westward to avoid being caught by officials.

    The woman lost control of the car and crossed into oncoming traffic, resulting in a crash with a black pickup truck. When the officers arrived, they discovered Boone and three truck occupants unresponsive. Sadly, Boone and two others were pronounced dead at the scene, while another person was transported to the hospital in crucial condition.

    A woman in Florida is behind bars after attempting to trick authorities by handing them dog urine during a mandatory drug test, Law & Crime reported. 

    Jessica Beatty, aged 42, was apprehended and charged with fraudulent practices related to urine testing. Court documents reveal that on January 11th, Beatty visited the Pinellas County Misdemeanor Probation Office in Highpoint, Florida for a required drug screening. Having a history of legal issues, Beatty was obligated to undergo random drug tests as part of her release conditions from previous offenses. 

    In an attempt to deceive the authorities, Beatty allegedly tried to pass off dog urine as her own. Eventually, she admitted to her failed ploy.

    “On today’s date, the defendant willfully admitted that she had a fraudulent urine sample that she intended to provide during testing,”

    the probable cause affidavit states.

    “The defendant readily admitted pre and post Miranda that she collected urine from her aunt’s dog.”

    After her failed attempt, Jessica Beatty eventually provided a legitimate urine sample, as confirmed by authorities. The affidavit does not provide any information on how Beatty managed to smuggle the dog’s urine into the facility. 

    According to OHS Health and Safety Services, using dog urine as a substitute for human urine in a drug test is immediately detected by any laboratory.

  • Dunkin’ Donuts Faces Lawsuit After Toilet Explodes On Customer Leaving Them Covered In ‘Human Feces and Urine’

    Dunkin’ Donuts Faces Lawsuit After Toilet Explodes On Customer Leaving Them Covered In ‘Human Feces and Urine’

    Paul Kerouac has filed a lawsuit against Dunkin’ Donuts, claiming that a toilet at one of their Florida outlets exploded while he was using it, reports the NY Post. 

    The incident occurred on January 6, 2022, and left Kerouac

    “traumatized”

    and covered in waste. The lawsuit, filed in Florida’s 9th Judicial District, states that he was left

    “covered with debris, including human feces and urine.”

    “Following the explosion of the toilet plaintiff emerged from the men’s room and sought assistance from employees and managers of [the] defendant’s business to clean himself, as he remained covered with human feces and urine after emerging from the men’s room,”

    the complaint says.

    To add insult to injury, Kerouac alleges that employees at the coffee shop in Orange County acknowledged that they were aware of

    “problems with the toilet.”

    Kerouac is seeking $50,000 in compensation and legal expenses, claiming he now

    “requires mental health care and counseling as a direct result of the trauma he experiences in the restroom at defendant’s building, and from the continuing trauma following the event.”

    He says the incident has left him with

    “bodily injury and psychological damages,”

    as well as

    “permanent and significant emotional injury, mental anguish, loss of the capacity for the enjoyment of life, expense of medical care and treatment.”
