http://tinyurl.com/lg2nbte A judge who presides over a drug court in Florida is entering rehab after unprofessional acts on the job. Broward County Judge Gisele Pollack, who has been open about her past troubles with alcohol, admits she suffered a relapse, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported. Other media outlets alleged that she was drunk in court on Tuesday, the day that her behavior seemed inappropriate. On Tuesday, she abruptly adjourned the misdemeanor drug court that she founded after being in session for only 90 minutes. Later, she was allegedly seen screaming at an assistant and demanding that someone return her car keys to her, CBS Miami reported. It appeared to an unnamed source that she had been crying. The Miami New Times reported that another judge intervened to remove Pollack from the courtroom after she cursed at a co-worker, saying the employee would be fired. A judge for nine years, Pollack, 55, earns $134,280, according to the Sun Sentinel. Pollack didn't return to work on Wednesday, but on Thursday she told reporters that she'd take two weeks off for "an intense outpatient program," the Sun Sentinel said. While campaigning in 2004, Pollack came under fire for violating the spirit of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings by essentially delivering stump speeches to the other addicts in attendance. |
600 People Involved in Movie Theater Brawl, 5 Arrested
Sounds more like a riot! :PPL:
Five teenagers were arrested when a 600-person brawl broke out in a Florida movie theater's parking lot on Christmas night. Described by police as a "melee," the fight occurred around 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday outside the Hollywood River City 14 movie theater in Jacksonville when a group tried to storm the theater's doors without purchasing tickets, police said. Several had rushed an off-duty police officer working as a security guard. http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/tO...6_16x9_608.jpg The officer "administered pepper spray to disperse the group, locked the doors and called for backup, following protocol," said Lauri-Ellen Smith, a spokeswoman for the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. Soon after the pepper spray was used, "upward of 600 people moving throughout a parking lot about the size of a football field began fighting, disrupting and jumping on cars," she said. Sixty-two police officers were called to the scene to break up the brawl, "sequestering them and separating them," Smith said. Only minor injuries and damage to property were reported. No gunshots were fired, according to Smith. 600 People Involved in Movie Theater Brawl, 5 Arrested All five of the people arrested on the scene were charged with crimes related to fighting. Three of those arrested, including one minor, were charged with felonies. Two other juveniles, who have not been named by police, were charged with misdemeanors. Tevyn Alonza Davis, 19, was charged with resisting arrest and breach of the peace. Jaquade Marquis Miller, 18, was charged with fighting and resisting arrest. Khalil Ahmad Bradley, 17, the only minor charged with a felony, was arrested for resisting arrest, refusal to disperse and breach of the peace. Davis and Bradley each "took a fighting stance" when confronted by police and told to leave the area, according to arrest reports. Miller, too, "took an aggressive stance" when told by police to leave the parking lot. According to the movie theater's website, the cinema was showing "Tyler Perry's A Medea Christmas," "47 Ronin," "Grudge Match," "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" along with several other movies. |

You butter not cross this woman. Florida woman Jennifer Feagley, 24, allegedly beat her roommate with a cane during an argument about butter, then blamed it on pregnancy hormones, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Volusia County Sheriff's deputies say Feagley, who is 6 months pregnant, became enraged when her 59-year-old roommate, Patricia Marson, put butter on the stove Tuesday night. Feagley allegedly whomped Marson in the head, got on top of her and punched her multiple times before busting out a cane and hitting her five times with it. When deputies arrived, they say Feagley told them that hormones from her pregnancy were causing her anger, according to Click Orlando. She also said that she has schizoaffective disorder, but has not been taking medication because of the pregnancy. Butter isn't the only food to inspire unbridled rage recently. Last week, an Iowa man was arrested after allegedly pulling a knife on his brother for eating too many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. |
Kayla Shavers, of New Port Richey, was charged with child neglect after police say she left her two young children in a freezing car on Thursday to go hog hunting, WTSP reports.
The 31-year-old who said she went after the hogs because they had been tearing up her property, allegedly left her 9-year-old and 8-month-old alone in the car, which was not running, around 7 a.m. on Thursday. The temperature was 38 degrees, according to WPTV. The 9-year-old did not have a coat. The 9-year-old called 911, saying he was cold and "a police car would be warmer," according to Bay News 9. Police say they aren't sure how long the children were alone in the car, but after arriving at the scene it was about 40 minutes before Shavers emerged from the woods, clad in camo. "Kudos to that little 9-year-old boy," Sheriff Chris Nocco told WTSP. Nocco says the boy may have saved the baby's life. Authorities say Shavers claimed she was close enough to the car to respond if her children needed help. She also allegedly said she left the keys in the car for the 9-year-old to turn it on if needed, but he apparently wasn't able to do so. More: http://www.wtsp.com/news/local/artic...go-hog-hunting |

Race Car Driver Rogerio Scotton Wants To Show Jury His Sex Tapes Jurors are the finders of facts and -- if one Florida race car driver has his way -- the watchers of homemade porn. Rogerio Scotton, 42, of Boca Raton, faces 26 counts of mail fraud and is also accused of marrying his wife for immigration purposes, according to the SunSentinel. Scotton, who is representing himself after dismissing six defense attorneys, said this week he wants to show the jury a sex tape featuring himself and his wife to prove that his marriage wasn't a sham cooked up to get the Brazilian racer permanent residence status. U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenbaum urged Scotton to come to an agreement with prosecutors that would eliminate the need to show jurors the intimate footage. "I don't think that it would be fair to your wife," Rosenbaum told Scotton to which the defendant replied, "Why is the privacy of my wife important at this point? I'm facing jail time." WPTV reports that Scotton was arrested in connection to his mail-order business in which he shipped products at cut-rate prices, allegedly by setting up phony accounts with UPS and FedEx. He faces up to 20 years in jail if convicted. |

Naked Man With 'Large Clock' Shrugs Off Police Dog, Batons, Stun Gun In Florida It took a squad of deputies wielding batons, a police dog, a stun gun and a 10-minute melee to take down a suspect in the throes of "excited delirium," Florida police say. Conrad Hopper, 17, was allegedly naked on Saturday as he attempted to attack responding deputies with a "large clock, which had numerous sharp utensils protruding from its entire border," the Sun Sentinel reports. It's the second time in less than a week that the Palm Beach sheriff's deputies have had to fight off a naked person on a violent rampage. Hopper's alleged victim, a 15-year-old boy, called deputies at about 6 p.m. after he said Hopper entered his home while intoxicated. Hopper reportedly touched the victim's face and tried to remove his glasses. Then Hopper started shouting nonsense and took off all his clothes. The victim evaded Hopper by fleeing into the back yard, where he jumped onto a trampoline and over a neighbor's fence. When deputies arrived, Hopper was back inside the house, completely naked. "He was breaking random things inside the house and still shouting nonsensical things, such as, '5, 6, 7, 8, grandma, girlfriend, 1, 2, 3, 4,'" a deputy wrote in the incident report. "Conrad was moving erratically around the kitchen with clinched fists and pacing aimlessly." That's when the epic battle started between Hopper, a police dog, deputies and a stun gun. Deputies told the person to lie face down. Instead, deputies say, he sat down upright, then stood back up and moved toward them. As a police dog was released toward him, he started to punch the dog with closed fists and tried to gouge out the dog's eyes before kicking and punching at other deputies who tried to stop him. One deputy's arm was fractured as he continued to fight all four deputies and a dog. In the report, one deputy says he hit the teen several times with a baton in his back/rib area, but it did not change his behavior, so they used a stun gun on the suspect's back which brought him to the ground so he could be restrained and handcuffed. Eventually, Hopper -- still thrashing around -- was subdued and given a shot of Valium on a gurney, "which still had no effect in calming him down," police said. He faces charges of burglary, criminal mischief, resisting arrest, battery of a police dog and several counts of battery on a law enforcement officer. Just last week, deputies shot dead a naked suspect who reportedly bit a teen's face and attacked a retired cop. Anesson Joseph, 28, charged at deputies before he was shot down in West Palm Beach last Wednesday, police said. The incident was likened to "something you see out of a zombie movie." |

Florida mom celebrates birthday by getting daughter drunk, beating her
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...#ixzz2thzuR3m4
A Florida mom was arrested on her birthday after getting her daughter drunk and then beating her, according to police. Kellie Baker was arrested on Monday for assaulting her daughter, 13, who had a blood-alcohol content of 0.15. The girl’s face was bloodied in the fight. Kellie Baker, 43, was arrested on her birthday in Manatee County after getting her 13-year-old daughter drunk and getting into a wild fight with the teen as the pair drove down the road. Cops collared Kellie Baker, 43, on Monday in Manatee County after a witness spotted two women fighting in a moving vehicle, according to reports. The brawl then spilled into a yard on 31st St. West and officers had to pull the two apart in mid-scuffle, WFTS reported. The girl remained on the ground, crying hysterically while sporting a bloodied face and a cut above her left eye, the station reported. "She advised that Kellie Baker was the one who caused the injuries to her face," the police report stated, according to the Bradenton Herald. The drunk daughter had a blood alcohol level of 0.15 — nearly twice the legal limit and admitted to drinking beer with her mom. Baker — an early candidate for worst mother of the year — has been charged with child abuse, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and resisting arrest, according to police. The battered girl was placed into the custody of her grandmother, WFTS reported. She was not identified. This isn’t the bad mom’s first brush with the law. Baker has been previously arrested for domestic battery, leaving the scene of an accident and assaulting an officer on her rap sheet, which dates back to 1992. Baker’s relatives could not be reached for comment. http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townn...61fe.image.jpg |

The woman told deputies she and her 72-year-old husband have "had some sex problems for the past two years," according to a Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office report obtained by The Smoking Gun. Not only did the woman not want to hook up with her sisters-in-law, she wanted to know if there was a way she could prohibit them from coming to her house, according to the report. Caught up in a sticky situation, the responding deputy wrote that he "explained the no-trespass law." |

Pay for my lunch, or go to HELL!
A Florida woman accused of skipping out on an $18.46 restaurant bill allegedly gave the cashier two options: Give her a free meal and go to heaven, or charge the credit card and go straight to hell. The offer of biblical proportions happened on Jan. 14. Ruthena Lewis, 44, took her mother, 78-year-old Willie Lewis, to eat at the A&G restaurant in Winter Haven, Fla. When it came time to pay, Lewis took her mom to the car and re-entered the restaurant to pay with a credit card. But the card was was declined. A&G cashier Crystal Henson told police that Lewis held the cancel button down when the charge was being processed. According to the police report, Lewis then gave Henson a choice: If the meal was free, Henson would go to heaven. If she insisted on running the card through, "She would go to hell." Lewis left the restaurant, leaving the business card of her church bishop, Joseph Lewis (no relation). She told restaurant employees to call him and he would pay the bill. Restaurant employees called Winter Haven police instead. Lewis and her mother were arrested a short time later, NewsChief.com reported. They were charged with misdemeanors and later released. Willie Lewis had $80 in her possession when she was arrested, according to the police report. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...ushpmg00000022 |

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. |

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. http://tinyurl.com/kt7oqlt |

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. http://gawker.com/another-florida-ma...ium=socialflow |

How many Jager shots is too many Jager shots?
One Florida man hopefully learned his limit after police arrested him on Friday for allegedly punching two bar patrons and setting a trashcan on fire, WNDB reports. Jason Buchanan, 33, drank 10 shots of Jager -- that's 10 shots of Jager too many, by our count -- before going to the restroom at Mark’s Sports Pub in Daytona and allegedly setting the trashcan on fire, News13 reports. Buchanan drank the $80 worth of shots on his own, one after the next, according to reports. Police say that Buchanan then set the trash can on fire and attempted to leave the bar without paying his tab. That's when two patrons tried to stop him, according to South Daytona Police Department Lieutenant Dan Dietrich. “Buchanan punches [that] person –- over 70 years of age –- in the face,” Dietrich said. “[Buchanan then] attempts to leave out the back door, where another patron blocked that door. Again, he punches [that] guy in the face, causing a large open cut to the guy’s mouth area.” Buchanan was charged with criminal mischief, aggravated battery, assault on a law enforcement officer, battery on a person 65 years of age or older, first-degree arson, and offenses related to not paying his tab, according to the Volusia County Sheriff. The fire did not cause any serious damage. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...ushpmg00000022 |

Justice is blind -- and hopefully doesn't have a great sense of smell, either. Patricia Ann Jamison, 49, was arrested earlier this month after deputies say she pooped in an elevator at the St. Lucie County Courthouse in Fort Pierce, Fla., according to documents published by TC Palm on Wednesday. On the afternoon of March 7, security staff were notified of a pile of poop in the corner of the elevator. Jamison, who has active pending cases with the county, was the last person to come out of the elevator after the reported fecal activity. Security footage allegedly showed Jamison walk into the elevator, and "appear to pull her pants down and back up toward the interior elevator buttons consistent with someone using the bathroom." Footage also allegedly showed the woman fiddling with her shirt and pants after exiting the elevator. She was arrested on a warrant for nuisances injurious to health. Floridians seem to regularly get in trouble for pooping in the wrong places. Last year, a Vero Beach woman allegedly responded to finding her husband "in bed with a naked chick" by defecating on the floor, prior to going on an armed rampage through the house. And then there's the infamous Gregory Matthew Bruni, who not only allegedly pooped on the floor in the home of a couple he had never met, but also allegedly struck one of the homeowners, masturbated on the floor and drank the contents of their wet-dry vacuum cleaner. |

Eddie Cocaine gets busted for drugs....
http://tinyurl.com/nnu6jfe After years on a South Florida bond court bench, Judge John "Jay" Hurley thought he had seen it all -- but even his jaw dropped Wednesday when reading the name of a man appearing on drug possession charges. "Edward Cocaine," the judge read, before pausing, then blurting out, "What?!?!" "My last name is Cocaine," the defendant acknowledged, as other arrestees behind him dissolved into giggles. A court official confirmed: "It is on his driver's license." "How many times have the police told you to step out of the car, sir, during your life?" asked Hurley, in video published by the South Florida Sun Sentinel. "Just about every time I get pulled over," Cocaine replied. He told the judge his great-grandparents "came over here from Greece and they changed it... That was back in like the 1920s." Unfortunately for the present-day Cocaine, he was charged with illegally possessing Xanax but released on his own recognizance, the Sun Sentinel reports. Naturally, Cocaine isn't the weirdest name to pass through the halls of justice in Fort Lauderdale. In 2012, a man astonishingly named Jackmeoff Mudd was arrested on a litany of charges including assault, disorderly conduct, resisting an officer, possession of alcohol in an open container, and violation of probation. |

Squatters take over house, Owner can't get them out
Soldier in battle to rid home of squatters, Florida sheriff’s office says it can’t do anything Soldier Michael Sharkey was deployed to Afghanistan two years ago and asked a friend to watch over his house in New Port Richey, Florida. Sharkey never thought that he would have to fight a battle to save his home from ex-convict squatters. As reported by WFLA News Channel 8, strangers broke into the home Sharkey shared with his wife Danielle, changed the locks, then moved in. The squatters, Julio Ortiz and his girlfriend Fatima Cardoso, then refused to leave. Ortiz claims that there was a verbal ‘contract’ made with Sharkey’s friend who was watching the home. Mr. Ortiz said the agreement was that he would live there rent-free while he renovated the house, then later a rental agreement would be worked out. However, Sharkey and Lisa Pettus, Sharkey’s friend, say there was no such agreement. Pettus said she met Ortiz through a friend and the only agreement was that he would fix up the house while the Sharkeys were away. When Pettus drove by the house two months after the renovation was completed, she found the squatters living in the home. "I want the people out. They're criminals living in my house," Michael Sharkey told WFLA. “I have never spoke to these people in my life.” Specialist Sharkey called the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office from Afghanistan to deal with the situation and his wife flew to Florida from Hawaii, where Sharkey is currently stationed. Ms. Sharkey went to the house and had a sheriff’s deputy with her but was unsuccessful in removing the two squatters. Instead, after Ortiz told the deputy that there was a verbal agreement, the deputy told Danielle that it was a civil matter and he could do nothing. Ken Doll, Pasco County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson told the station that the squatters have established residency in the home. The sheriff’s office could not force the couple to leave without a court ordered formal eviction. That wasn’t satisfactory to Mr. Sharkey who questioned, “Basically what you’re telling me is just because they’re in the house and they took up residence, they can live there. Okay, so I can go down the street and find an empty house and just kick in the door and start living there and that’s my residence. I don’t think that would work.” He added, "I don't think I should have to pay hundreds of dollars and go through that aggravation…I work hard, long hours, and these people never had permission to live in my home. They should be thrown out." The Sharkeys are also concerned that if they do get the formal eviction, the squatters will damage their home. The two have both spent time in prison. Ortiz was released in 2011 after serving time for robbery, car jacking and selling drugs on school property. Cardoso was released in 2006 after serving more than two years for drug charges. Both have since been arrested in Pasco County on drug charges. The squatters know that the family wants them out of the house, but say they won’t leave until they want to. That may be sooner than Ortiz lets on because the two have been using buckets for water, unable to get the utility company to turn it on without a lease. Support has streamed in for the Sharkeys since the station originally aired their story. Many have offered the military family help and agree with Sharkey’s outrage. "They are criminals,” said the soldier. “I am serving my country, and they have more rights to my home than I do." |
Squatters should have ZERO rights. What the hell happened to this country????

It would be a shame if some unfortunate accident befell those people. :#

We rented a house where the people lived out of the country/with military. They had a friend who considered herself a property manager but in reality all she had to do is collect the rent and put it in the landlords acct monthly, and advise them of any issues. We signed a 2 year lease and were in the 2nd year of it when without any heads up from the homeowners (who we found out hang paid the mortgage in years) lost the house to the bank. They came out and tried to tell us to leave as they took the house. We refused because we had a lease and no money to think about security/rent etc. Then found out that 2 year lease is not legal in Florida so they considered us squatting even though we were current on our rent. They the. Had the power shut off. Our hands were tied as I hadn't been working a lot at that point because it was slow. We had to live in that house with no power and no way to have it turned back on because the bank wanted us out. We went 10 weeks with no power with my 2 daughters myself an my wife. We had no power for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years. Talk about feeling like a crappy parent going through the holidays with no power was pretty close to rock bottom. But in Jan we got a house and were able to get back on our feet. Tha t was over 2 years ago now. Was a bad situation, but luckily we were able to rise above it and move on. Probably one of the many things that has shaped the inner strength of our family and my daughters. Everybody hits rock bottom at some point, it what you do after that that defines you. Bless up!! Onelove! |

Florida man arrested for driving down Interstate 95 while masturbating ST. LUCIE WEST, Fla., April 24 (UPI) -- Florida Highway Patrol troopers arrested a man who was allegedly driving down Interstate 95 while masturbating in the nude after a semi-truck driver called 911 to report him. Cory Evans was pulled over after the driver reported that he “slowed when the semi-truck slowed and sped up when the semi-truck accelerated” while masturbating. The driver continued talking to dispatchers while he followed Evans, TC Palm reported. "The victim stated that the driver seemed to be enticing him and harassing him," the arrest report states. "The victim stated that the suspect continued masturbating with the interior dome light on so he could be easily seen.” When troopers stopped Evans, he was clothed but his zipper was down. The 22-year-old was on his way back to school in Boca Raton. He denied masturbating but was arrested on an indecent exposure charge. |

http://www.heraldtribune.com/article...nspector&tc=ar SARASOTA COUNTY - The owner of a Siesta Key rental property accused of scamming customers threw a bucket of urine on a code inspector Monday morning, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office. Craig Siegel is accused of throwing urine on a code inspector in the 5100 block of Sandy Cove Avenue. Siegel is also accused of scamming people who wanted to rent a home in the 6500 block of Sabal Drive. Craig Siegel, a local chiropractor and operator of Siesta Resorts LLC and Siesta Vacations Inc., came under investigation after numerous people reported renting a five-bedroom home in the 6500 block of Sabal Drive that was advertised as having 12 bedrooms, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office. After a fire at the property, Siegel, 44, reportedly began construction on the home's lower level in 2013 without proper permits. The Sarasota County Code Enforcement officer, who Siegel allegedly doused with urine, went a home in the 5100 block of Sandy Cove Avenue at 7:20 a.m. Monday to order Siegel to dismantle the modifications. For that incident, he is charged with criminal mischief and battery on a code enforcement officer, according to the Sheriff's Office. Detectives have identified 19 victims from across the country who paid a total of more than $53,000 to rent the advertised 12-bedroom residence. When they arrived at the home and asked for refunds, Siegel allegedly refused and told the victims to sue him even though he claimed to have no money. The victims either stayed at the falsely advertised property or sacrificed the money they gave Siegel and paid for other accommodations. Other victims have been identified, but told detectives they did not want to be part of the criminal investigation, according to the Sheriff's Office. The alleged scams took place from Jan. 14, 2013 to now. Siegel is charged with 19 counts of scheming to defraud. |
