Odelin Regis Of Cape Coral Hospitalized After Swallowing Pills and Eating Cocaine While Trying To Run From The Cops
Odelin Regis, a Cape Coral, Florida Man messed up this time. The truly crazy part, is that this is the second time this year (at least) he's tried to out run the cops. You can't outrun radios, sir.
Back in May, the Sarasota Police Department arrested Odelin for FLEE ELUDE LEO WITH LIGHTS SIREN ACTIVE, and RECKLESS DRIVING. Well, it didn't take long for our Cape Coral man to find trouble again. This time, in the Florida Keys.
Last Sunday, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office observed a Corvette traveling more than 100 mph near Mile Marker 35 at approximately 12 p.m. If you're familiar, that'd be Big Pine Key. Regis fled from the Sheriff’s Office and the FHP while committing numerous traffic violations. He failed to stop despite multiple attempts by both agencies. That's when the cops brought out the spike strips.
The vehicle’s tires were successfully spiked at the Channel Two Bridge. The Corvette stopped near Mile Marker 74, however, the driver, Regis, fled on foot. It didn't take long for him to be apprehended. A female passenger in the vehicle was not arrested. It wasn't even his car. The Corvette was a rental. Hope he bought the extra insurance.
Here's what Odelin Regis had in the car:

Florida Has 3 Of The Most Rat Infested Cities In The Country
Let me start of by saying that no where in Florida is nearly as bad as Chicago. That city is on top of Orkin’s Top 50 Rat Infested Cities List for the ninth year in a row. I witnessed this first hand while staying at a hotel in downtown Chicago. We were several floors up and our view overlooked an alley. We noticed a dog poking around the dumpsters. A dog with a very long tail. Once it got closer to the light we realized it was the biggest rat you could image. Florida can't begin to come close to the rats they have in Chicago.
Orkin ranked metro regions by the number of new rodent treatments performed from Sept.1, 2022, to Aug. 31, 2023. This ranking includes both residential and commercial pest control treatments. Pretty efficient way of measuring the problems.
After Chicago comes another rat haven that I'm familiar with. Los Angeles. In the latest rankings, Los Angles has now overtaken New York for the second spot. Congratulations?
After New York at 3, comes Washington DC at 4, and San Francisco at 5.
There are rats in Florida, however the 3 Florida cities that made the list are much further down. Our rat problems aren't nearly as bad as the cities on top the list. Additionally, one thing to note, of the 3 Florida cities that made the list, all moved up in the rankings over the previous year. So our rat problem seems to be growing.
If you don't believe there's rats in Southwest Florida, plant a mango tree in your yard. They'll find you.
Here's the most rat infested cities in Florida, and their national rankings.
MIAMI-FT. LAUDERDALE
Miami is the rattiest city in Florida, ranking number 19 on the list nationally. That's up from 20th place last year. I've never personally seen a rat in Miami, but I also stick to the nicer parts of town when I'm there.
TAMPA-ST. PETE
Tampa jumped 5 spots in this year's rankings, coming in at number 36 nationally. Unlike Miami, I have personally witnessed rats around dumpsters at an apartment complex in Tampa. That's why you don't take your trash out at night. Also, what's the meaning behind throwing rats on the hockey rink?
ORLANDO-DAYTONA BCH
Not sure why they lumped Orlando and Daytona Beach together to put them at number 37 on the list. This pairing is up 12 spots since last year's rankings. If there's a rat problem in Orlando, I don't see it. It always seemed to me that the city was pretty clean. Except for that one rat over in Disney, but I hear he's quite the cook.
