I lived there for the first 20 years of my life, and I never saw a single iguana. Must have been a south Florida thing.

Florida man arrested after shining laser pointer at planes, police say

A Florida man was arrested Wednesday after shining a laser pointer at multiple pilots making their approaches at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, police said.

Charlie James Chapman Jr, 41, faces multiple charges after police said he temporarily blinded one of the pilots. Video claims to show him throwing rocks and directing the laser at a Manatee County Sheriff's helicopter attempting to locate him.

“Pointing a laser at multiple aircraft didn’t end well for Charlie Chapman Jr.,” the MCSO said on Facebook. “He was arrested after pointing one at planes heading into SRQ Airport last night, and then at our MCSO Aviation Unit helicopter. He even tried throwing rocks at the helicopter!”

The MSCO Aviation unit helicopter eventually located the suspect on a forklift near the airport where they directed deputies on the ground to surround him. Chapman allegedly grabbed a hammer and made a striking motion towards the deputies who deployed a Taser and subdued the suspect.

"It was later learned that Chapman shot his laser pointer on a fixed-wing plane four times and one time at the MCSO helicopter," police said. "One of the pilots of the plane advised that the laser hit him directly in the eyes, causing temporary blindness. The pilot stated he was still felt his eye sight was blurry from the laser."

I'm surprised throwing rocks at the helicopter didn't work.

He obviously doesn’t have the rock-throwing prowess of one William Wallace.

Good job Florida, for getting those hardened criminals off the streets.  The horror of having someone come to your place and paint a wall without a license.

i think i'd rather see them go after crooked contractors who don't finish a job they've been paid for or do crappy work.

Admittedly, being unlicensed makes it way easier for guys to just disappear with someone’s money.

I think unlicensed contractors are more likely to do just that.

At least he saved the police some time in the search.

Florida police made a traffic stop and found a bag full of drugs fittingly labeled 'Bag Full Of Drugs'

Yeah, it's wider than his head. I wouldn't want to fit him for a dress shirt.

Florida man dies inside suitcase, girlfriend charged after claiming they were playing game: report

A Florida woman was charged with second-degree murder after police said her boyfriend died after he was zipped up in a suitcase and left to die, a report said.

Sarah Boone, 42, of Winter Park, allegedly told police that the two were playing hide and seek, but police said a cellphone video raised suspicions. Police said Jorge Torres, 42, her boyfriend, could be heard yelling for help while inside the suitcase, prompting Boone to respond, "That's what I feel like when you cheat on me."

Boone allegedly told police that they thought it would be funny if he got inside the suitcase, Fox 35 Orlando reported. She allegedly said they were drinking at the time and she passed out on her bed. When she woke up-- hours later-- she allegedly said she found him unresponsive and not breathing.

Boone called 911 and deputies arrived to find her boyfriend dead. Deputies noted there was a small laceration on his lip and what appeared to be some bruising around his eye, Fox 35 reported.

Investigators also said they retrieved two videos on Boone's cellphone.

In the first video which began recording on Feb. 24 at 11:12 p.m., her boyfriend could be heard repeatedly yelling out Boone's name, deputies said.

Deputies said Boone is heard laughing and saying, "For everything you've done to me, [expletive] you! Stupid!"

They said Torres continued to call out to Boone saying he couldn't breathe, to which she is heard saying, "That's on you. Oh, that's what I feel like when you choke me."  

The second video began recording on Feb. 24 at 8:20 p.m., in which detectives said Torres is heard yelling out Boone's name.

The report noted the suitcase was in a different position during the second video, the TV station reported. Boone was arrested after homicide detectives conducted their preliminary investigation.

An autopsy will be performed to determine his exact cause of death.
