2019
Anything Goes   

* Events in our county

   In Florida, 2019 was no exception. 

   Lightning struck a septic tank, igniting methane gas. Fortunately, no one was sitting on the toilet that blew apart. 

   * A Port Richey mayor fired shots at a SWAT team when they came to arrest him for practicing medicine without a license, among other crimes. Three weeks later, his replacement was busted for obstruction of justice and other crimes. 

   A U. of Miami prof who wrote a book on money laundering was charged with money laundering. A woman on probation for embezzling was charged with embezzling $60,000 from a different employer. A man on probation for burglary burglarized the probation office. 

   After a man spent $8 million to buy his private island, he was charged with scamming Kmart out of $300. Police arrested five guys for getting into a fist fight at Five Guys. 

   A surfer leaped off his surfboard onto a shark, not intentionally. Two months later the same thing happened to another surfer at the same beach. 

Gator Tales  

   When a deputy stopped a couple for running a stop sign, he discovered 41 stolen three-striped turtles. Then the woman pulled a foot-long alligator out of her yoga pants. 

   On a golf course, a gator leaped up and snagged a ball in midair. Some men poured beer into the mouth of another gator. And still another gator, 11-feet long, crashed through a ground level window and made himself at home among smashed wine bottles.
