    Florida Man Trying to Kill Ex-Girlfriend in Drunken Rage Chases Wrong Vehicle, Resulting Death of Innocent Woman

    A Florida man who threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend, ended up taking the life of an innocent woman after mistakenly pursuing the wrong car in a drunken rage, according to Too Fab.

    Kyle Hill, 33, was apprehended on charges of DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, and violating probation after a crash that resulted in the death of 28-year-old Arislenni Blanco-Medina and left her boyfriend, Norbelis Figueredo-Campos, injured. The charges against him had been elevated to first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, St. Petersburg Police Department revealed. 

    An Unfortunate Case of Mistaken Identity

    The incident took place on Sunday in St. Petersburg at around 8 PM. Hill had an argument with his ex-girlfriend, and she left in a friend’s car, police reported. He took his Nissan SUV to look for her where he reportedly spotted a Honda. The car was the same make and model as the one his ex was driving, but was a different color, Police Chief Anthony Holloway told FOX 13. “While chasing a car, he called her again and said… ‘I’m going to kill you, your friend, and myself,’” Holloway added.

    Hill “began aggressively chasing and harassing the Honda for several blocks,” per police. Inside the car were Figueredo-Campos and Blanco-Medina, both of whom had recently moved to Florida from Cuba. Family members revealed during the press conference that Blanco-Medina had only been in the U.S. for a few months before her tragic death. The couple was reportedly headed to Walmart when Hill “continued to pursue them,” as stated by police. 

    He “forced them off the road” onto the sidewalk, where they collided with a concrete pole, which then fell and crushed the vehicle. Blanco-Medina lost her life in the incident, while Figueredo-Campos was taken to the hospital with severe injuries, according to authorities. Hill’s blood alcohol level was “over twice the legal limit.” He is currently being held without bail.

  • Man Charged with Sending Ex-Girlfriend’s Nude Photos to Her Young Children, Police Say

    Man Charged with Sending Ex-Girlfriend’s Nude Photos to Her Young Children, Police Say

    A Florida man has been arrested for reportedly sending nude photos and videos of his ex-girlfriend to her children, as reported by Too Fab

    Lafayett Lee, 38, was apprehended by Broward County authorities on Tuesday and faces one charge of transmitting harmful information to minors, along with two counts of sexual cyber-harassment, according to ABC affiliate WPLG.

    According to the probable cause affidavit, Lee and the victim had been in a relationship for three and a half years, which ended on December 20. Just three days later, after Lee had picked up some of his belongings from her house, the woman’s son informed her that he had received explicit images. Upon reviewing the pictures, the woman recognized them as ones she had previously shared privately with her former boyfriend.

    Caught in the Act

    The documents stated that her daughter also mentioned receiving similar images just as another daughter’s phone began “going off.” A 6-year-old girl was playing with that phone, but the family quickly took it away from her before she saw the inappropriate content. In total, the children received five photos and one video of the victim, including explicit content of her engaging in sexual acts.

    The victim informed the police that Lee was the only person who had received those images, as stated in the documents. She also mentioned that earlier messages from him had come from the same phone number that sent the explicit images and video to her children. Investigators arranged for a recorded line for the victim to confront Lee. On that call, the victim allegedly told Lee, “That was low as f–k how you sent all them nude videos and s–t to my kids.” Police wrote in their report that he responded, “That was low as f–k what you did.” 

    Lee is currently detained in the Broward County Jail with a bond set at $40,000, according to Law & Crime.

    Florida Mom Sheltered with Son During Hurricane and Discovered Dead Body, Police Say

    A Florida mother who planned to ride out the storm with her son, instead made a chilling discovery when she found a dead body at his home, as reported by Law & Crime

    Robert Hendrix, 32, was arrested and charged with the murder of his girlfriend, 43-year-old Kristin Carrier, after his mother uncovered the shocking scene at his home on October 10, 2024.

    According to a probable cause arrest affidavit from Law & Crime, Hendrix’s 71-year-old mother had come to stay at his Jacksonville residence on October 9 to weather Hurricane Milton together. The next day, after the storm had passed, Hendrix left his mother alone at the house to run an errand, and that’s when she reportedly found Carrier’s body wrapped in a brown tarp in the main bedroom.

    The mother called her daughter to pick her up after discovering the body, per News 4 JAX. The duo later confronted Hendrix about it when he returned home. Hendrix became “animated,” prompting them to leave and call the police. When authorities arrived they found Kristin Carrier’s body wrapped in a tarp by the bedroom door, along with blood patterns on the floor. Evidence collected included a knife, baseball bat, and gun. 

    A witness claimed to have heard a woman yelling before Hendrix asked her to leave. After viewing a photo of Carrier, the witness also recognized her as the woman they heard. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office stated that Carrier died from multiple gunshot and stab wounds. Hendrix, a convicted felon, was arrested for unrelated firearm charges at the scene and remains in jail after being served with a murder warrant.

    A nurse in Florida may face the possibility of losing her eyesight after being violently attacked by a patient at Palms West Hospital, per WFLA. This resulted in almost every bone in her face being fractured, according to an arrest affidavit. 

    Palm Beach County deputies were called to the scene at around 1:20 p.m. in Loxahatchee on Tuesday. The suspect, 33-year-old Stephen Scantlebury allegedly committed “aggravated battery against a nurse”

    in a patient room on the third floor. The affidavit states that while under Florida’s Baker Act, the patient leaped onto his bed and then onto the nurse. 

    One witness left the room to find help, while another shouted at Scantlebury to stop as he repeatedly struck the nurse in the face. The affidavit notes that the assailant eventually stopped his attack and fled the hospital, running into traffic on Southern Boulevard where he was apprehended. The nurse, whose name has not been disclosed, was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital with life-threatening injuries. 

    The report indicated that “essentially every bone” in her face was broken and that she was likely to “lose the use of both eyes.” HCA Florida Healthcare released a statement, obtained by NBC affiliate WPTV, saying the following:

    “Our primary concern is with our beloved colleague and we are praying for her recovery. We are also providing support to our hospital staff who are understandably shaken by this incident. The attack on our nursing colleague happened within a matter of seconds and was witnessed by multiple people who came to assist. We are grateful to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office who acted to detain the suspect and we are assisting law enforcement in their investigation.”

    Family Recognizes Missing Florida Woman In Viral Video Of Her Giving Birth On New York Subway

    A family that reported a Florida woman missing in September 2024 is feeling a sense of relief after she was seen in a viral TikTok video this week, giving birth on a New York subway, per The Post.

    Police in Hallandale Beach issued an Endangered Missing Person’s bulletin for 25-year-old Jenny Saint Pierre late last year. Her family had informed authorities that she suffered from schizophrenia and was approximately five to six months pregnant at the time. They last saw her in July, while her ex-boyfriend claimed he hadn’t seen her since a disagreement on August 5.

    However, on Wednesday, Saint Pierre made an unexpected appearance on social media when a subway rider in NYC posted a TikTok video showing her giving birth in a train car.

    “POV: You’re headed to work and you witness someone giving birth on the train,”

    a witness posted. In the video, an individual is seen holding a newborn wrapped in a cloth just moments after the birth. In the background, a recognizable pink bag is visible, which her family identified, along with the sound of Saint Pierre’s voice.

    “Oh, my God, look at her little face!”

    Jenny’s sister Stephania Saint Pierre said to the New York Times while watching the video.

    “Oh, my God, I am going to cry! That’s my first niece!”

    Her mother, meanwhile, said she couldn’t stop rewatching the footage.

    “I’ve been thinking about my daughter every day, praying every day that she’s OK, that her baby is OK. I’m going to sleep good tonight,”

    she told the Times, adding that Jenny is welcome home anytime.

    “We will always be there for her, and for her baby.”

    Law enforcement officials have confirmed that Saint Pierre is the woman seen in the video. They have also confirmed that both she and her newborn daughter are in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital.

  • Elder Woman Runs Over Tourist’s Head With Her Truck While She Was Sunbathing On Florida Beach

    Elder Woman Runs Over Tourist’s Head With Her Truck While She Was Sunbathing On Florida Beach

    Authorities are investigating an incident in Florida where an 84-year-old woman

    “ran over”

    a beachgoer’s head with her truck, as reported by PEOPLE

    A press release from the Volusia Sheriff’s Office stated that a 71-year-old woman from New York was sunbathing in a beach chair near her vehicle close to the Silver Beach Avenue beach ramp. This occurred just before 3 p.m. local time on Wednesday, February 5, during her visit to Daytona Beach with her husband.

    While the tourist was seated in her chair, the elderly driver from DeLeon Springs backed her Chevrolet Colorado out of the parking space. She made

    “an immediate right turn toward the beach exit, did not see the woman in her chair, and struck her with the truck’s right rear tire, which then ran over her head,”

    the Sheriff’s Office said.

    The 71-year-old woman’s husband contacted 911, as revealed by audio from the emergency call obtained by NBC affiliate WESH 2. “Hurry up! She ran over her head!” the woman’s husband can be heard saying.

    “You alright?”

    he asks his wife, who replies:

    “No.”

    The victim was taken to the nearby Halifax Health Medical Center with non-life-threatening head injuries and is in stable condition.

    “The driver… remained on scene and cooperated fully with the investigation. She said she was not aware she struck anyone until she was chased down by a witness,”

    deputies said.

    “There were no signs of impairment.”

    The city of Daytona Beach states that

    “beach driving”

    is permitted on Silver Beach, making it one of the few beaches in the U.S. where visitors can drive right onto the sand.

  • Florida Dad Fatally Shot In Front Of His Son After Accusing Stranger Of Staring At His Girlfriend

    Florida Dad Fatally Shot In Front Of His Son After Accusing Stranger Of Staring At His Girlfriend

    A Florida dad was fatally shot on his birthday in front of his 1-year-old son amid a verbal disagreement with a stranger at a Walgreens. Anthony Souvenir, 27, confronted 28-year-old Jaime Taylor for staring at his girlfriend. According to the New York Post, Taylor was loading money to his Cash App as he had already been in the store for a few mins before the encounter. 

    Souvenir reportedly believed Taylor was “looking too hard” at his girlfriend and decided to confront him. After the brief confrontation between the two, Souvenir walked away, but he misinterpreted Taylor’s phone call as a comment aimed at him, officials said. 

    A police report said Souvenir’s girlfriend heard the shooter say, “I’m not even (expletive) talking to you, I’m on the (expletive) phone.” 

    They went back and forth before the confrontation began to elevate and Souvenir realized Taylor had a gun, which Souvenir then said, “I see you got one; I got one too.” 

    Feeling threatened by Souvenir’s comments, Taylor drew his gun but didn’t shoot initially. He fired the fatal shot when the dad reached for his bag. After fleeing, Taylor surrendered to Miramar police later. He was apprehended for second-degree murder and is held without bail at Broward County Jail.

    Remembering Anthony Souvenir

    The victim’s mother, Linda Souvenir, said in a GoFundMe to help pay for his burial, “Anthony was such a good son. He was very respectful and loving. His best quality was his big heart. He was thoughtful, alway putting other first. He was an amazing father. He loved his son and had big dreams for him.” 

    #Clique, let’s keep Anthony Souvenir’s family in our thoughts and prayers!

  • Florida Son Reports Father To Police After Discovering Nearly 1,000 Files Of Child Porn While Repairing His Phone

    Florida Son Reports Father To Police After Discovering Nearly 1,000 Files Of Child Porn While Repairing His Phone

    A Florida man reported his perverted father to the police after he reportedly discovered close to 1,000 files of child pornography on his dad’s phone, as reported by the NY Post. The son was reportedly trying to fix his locked Google account, which was disabled due to the abhorrent content. 

    The Kenneth City Police Department arrested 63-year-old Gene Follin. Follin allegedly admitted to authorities that he was aware he possessed the images. Which included child erotica, on January 28, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Smoking Gun. Follin’s son, Jared, alerted the police to the findings on his father’s phone on September 10, 2024.

    According to the document, the elder Follin had asked his son for help with accessing his Gmail account after being informed that it was disabled due to

    “sexual, explicit images of children.”

    A month later, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children alerted the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children task force after a Google account was flagged for uploading child pornography to its Google Photos folder.

    A detective from the sheriff’s office informed the Kenneth City Police Department about the alert. This led to a subpoena for the IP address, ultimately confirming that Gene Follin was the account user. The detective then obtained a search warrant for Follin’s Google account. They received photos that had been uploaded to the account between March 13, 2023, and September 10, 2024.

    The arresting officer received a secure USB drive that reportedly held 952 files of the disturbing content. One graphic image mentioned in the affidavit depicted five girls aged between 5 and 8. Follin, originally from Missouri, was charged with 20 counts of possession of child pornography, all classified as second-degree felonies, per jail records accessed by The Post. He was booked with a bond set at $100,000 but was released on a surety bond on January 30. If convicted, he could face up to 15 years in prison.
