When I step out to take the trash out at night in Cape Coral, you better believe I grab a broomstick. That's some wisdom passed down from my Nana. Now, she was a force to be reckoned with, no doubt about it. When there was a snake slithering or a raccoon raiding the trash, she didn't hesitate. Nope, she reached for her weapon of choice, her trusty broom of justice!
But, you know, not everyone wields their broom for good like my Nana did. Take today's headline maker, Annette Krupnicka, a 59-year-old Florida woman. According to
Fox35, she went all "Dark Lord of the Sith" on a guy and a kid with a broomstick! All they were doing was trying to enjoy a
bike ride around Leesburg on a Sunday evening. My Nana wouldn't stand for that.
Thankfully, a man's report got deputies to intervene in the thing. Earlier, he was just biking with his kids and their pals when Krupnicka barged in and started swinging that broomstick like a household super villian.
Footage from a neighbor's doorbell cam caught the whole thing. Krupnicka, with that broomstick, laying down some serious beats on innocent bikers as they rode past. Next thing you know, Krupnicka's in cuffs, booked for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. In the end, authorities hauled her off to Lake County Jail.
My Nana always said, "With great power comes great responsibility." Okay, maybe Uncle Ben said that. But such evil could never have misused her broom. And let me tell you, if my Nana had witnessed Krupnicka assaulting a kid for riding a bike, they would have met a real broom master. I can almost hear it now. My Nana, shaking her head and saying, "Annette Krupnicka, you have failed this city."
Time for the story of Talea Saylor, who ran afoul of the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office in Englewood, Florida. It all started innocently enough when Talea posed on top of a Charlotte County Sheriff vehicle. The suv was parked at a dealership and she saw this as a perfect opportunity for a viral post. Unfortunately the Sherriff's Office saw the post. What do you think they're doing when they're parked on the side of the road? Scrolling, no doubt.
From the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office: "A few days later, one of our Marine Patrol deputies was in the area of Chadwick Cove and noticed two suspects on a familiar 26ft sailboat. The owner of the boat was arrested the day prior and had not yet been released from jail. Contact was made with boat owner via the jail watch commander who advised he did not give anyone permission to be on his boat."
Inside the boat, the cops found a glass pipe, various drug paraphernalia, and methamphetamine. Doing meth on a stolen boat? Let's take a look at the charges our Florida woman is facing.
Burglary of an Occupied Conveyance Unarmed
Possess Controlled Substance without Prescription
Drug Paraphernalia - Possession or Use Of
MARIJUANA- POSSESS NOT MORE THAN 20 GRAMS
It all started with a two fingered salute from atop a sheriff vehicle. So, ready for the mugshot?
