Box Cutter Attack: Woman Survives Brutal Assault by Florida Man

Author Budman

A 62-year-old Florida man, Randal Lee Lawton, launched a vicious assault with a box cutter at a Seminole County gas station. According to FOX35,  this nutcase was booked into jail for some serious charges. Yeah, if being a loony was a job, this guy seems to be a professional wacko. 

Now, police got a call around 5 a.m. about some trouble at the RaceTrac gas station. When the cops arrived, they found Lawton locked in the men’s restroom with a woman screaming for help inside. Turns out, she was a gas station employee, and things were looking pretty grim. The woman was covered in blood with deep cuts on her neck and hand.

So, the police busted in, found Lawton looming over her with a box cutter. They managed to detain him, and the poor woman was rushed to the hospital. No word on her condition yet, but let’s hope she’s doing okay.

Box Cutter Terror:

So, how did this mess start? Earlier, Lawton had been at the station for some cigarettes and coffee. Later, he returned, muttering to himself, and asked for toilet paper. When the employee went in to replace it, he followed, locked them both in, and things got ugly. He tried to cut her throat. She fought back, and luckily the police arrived just in time.

The woman had some nasty injuries too, like cuts on her hand, deep slashes under her chin, and even a missing tooth. She told the police how she fought back and had to grab the knife. That’s how she got her hand cut up. Thankfully, Lawton stopped attacking when the police stormed in.

Neighbors around the gas station aren’t too shocked. One guy, David Mickelsen, said the area’s always been a bit sketchy. “Crazy world,” he said, saying it’s not surprising, but he’s glad the woman is okay.

Lawton’s in jail now, sitting on a $55,000 bond, with his court date set for July 23. And there you have it… Another day, another insane weirdo with a box cutter is taken off the street.

Florida Man Criminal Found Hiding In A North Fort Myers Attic With His Face Against The Air Duct To Breathe

Over the weekend the Lee County Sheriff’s Office responded to a burglary in progress at a home on 4th Way in North Fort Myers. When the cops entered the house they could hear the Florida Man criminal walking in the attic. Also, they found a 5 gallon bucket on the floor under the attic access and insulation on the floor. This Florida man needs to work on his ninja stealth abilities. But he was resourceful in other ways.

The deputies yelled for him to come down out of the attic, but Florida Man did not respond. The cops put a non lethal gas canister into the attic to smoke him out. He buried himself in the insulation with his face against the air duct system to breathe fresh air. No go on the smoke.

So they had to go up there and get him. Keep in mind how hot it gets in a Florida attic. That’s when Florida Man Bruce Davis surrendered. Dude’s covered in itchy insulation and the cops are like “we should take his picture first”. I get it, this pic could make some solid memes.

What was he doing in the house? According to LCSO “A search of the home also revealed a broken window, appliances in use, and tools scattered throughout the residence. ” Appliances in use? Was he making a smoothie? Doing laundry?  This Florida Man criminal was charged with burglary and resisting an officer.
