Florida Man Blames ‘Sexual Frustration’ For Assault on 11 Year Old Girl At Walmart
This assault at Walmart is so creepy. 64-year-old Robert Elliot Goldstein of Bunnell, Florida was at the Walmart in Palm Coast on Friday, December 28. That's when, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, he "walked towards an 11-year-old girl that was out shopping with her mother and proceeded to stroke the top of her head and run his hands down her shoulders." As the girl looked at him in shock, he then raced to the door and exited the Walmart. His face was captured on the security cameras but he could not at that time be identified. Until...
Later that weekend, on New Years Day at Advent Health in Palm Coast, Robert entered a restricted area of the hospital. When a staff member approached him, he grabbed her and pinned her against the wall. He then reportedly tried to fight other members of the staff including medical professionals until Flagler County Deputies arrived and arrested him. After his booking, an analyst with the department connected him to the earlier assault on the girl at the Walmart. When presented with the accusation, Goldstein confessed to the child abuse at Walmart and said he did it due to “sexual frustration.”
The man had no previous record and was not on a sex offender registry. As of this writing, he is being held on two charges. Bond is set at $3,500 for one and $5,000 for the other. The Sheriff's Office is asking the public to come forward if anyone had any other encounters with the man. Call 386-313-4911 or email tips@flaglersheriff.com.
Florida Man Wearing Only A Loincloth And Socks Smashed Into Several Vehicles And Tried To Outrun A Helicopter Before Crashing Into The Flagler County Landfill
I understand the headline is quite lengthy, but it was needed to really tell the story. 22-year-old Stephen Peterson of Port Orange and 20-year-old Victoria Averill had quite an adventure before it all ended at the Flagler County Landfill.
It all started on June 21st in Flagler Beach, Florida when our Florida Man and his accomplice drove through the intersection of State Road 100 East and Old Kings Road South and strike multiple vehicles. That's just off I95 near the Popeye's. The SUV then continued south on Old Kings Road at a high rate of speed. The incident was spotted by a MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife officer who then attempted to stop the vehicle. The FWC officer activated his emergency lights and siren but the vehicle did not stop. Does the FWC even have authority to pull over vehicles? I'm not sure. Anyway...
Then, according to Flagler County Sheriff "The vehicle entered the property of Old Kings Elementary School and drove around the running track before exiting the school and continuing to flee down Old Kings Road. The vehicle then entered the Flagler County Landfill and into the wooded area between the landfill and I-95." And that's where things went wrong.
Flagler County Fire Rescue Fireflight, which is the fire department's helicopter, monitored the vehicle's location and directed deputies to the vehicles location. The vehicle had run into and become stuck on a concrete barrier. This next line, sums it up nicely. "The male was naked except for a small covering wrapped around his waist and socks. It is unknown why the male was not wearing more clothing."
Sounds insane? Here's the video.
So, what's the charges?
From the FCSO "Peterson was arrested for Fleeing and Eluding, Leaving the Scene of a Crash with Damage to Vehicle or Property, Resisting an Officer without Violence, Trespassing on School Grounds, Possession of Marijuana Under 20 Grams, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia/Equipment. Averill was arrested for Trespassing on School Grounds, Possession of Marijuana Under 20 Grams, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia/Equipment. Peterson is being held on $19,500 bond and Averill is being held on $3,000 bond at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility."
