LAKELAND — A 32-year-old woman was arrested on June 15 when she gathered her husband’s guns to turn them over to the Lakeland Police Department.
According to Courtney Irby’s arrest affidavit, she told police her husband had been taken to jail for trying to run over her with a car. Irby said she went to Joseph Irby’s apartment on Village Center Drive in Lakeland and searched for the guns she knew he had.
When she told a Lakeland police officer she had the guns with her to turn them in, he replied, “So are you telling me that you committed an armed burglary?” and Irby answered, “Yes, I am, but he wasn’t going to turn them in, so I am doing it,” according to reports.
Police verified Irby had never stayed at her husband’s apartment until the day of the burglary.
Officers made contact with Joseph Irby, who was still incarcerated at the Polk County Jail, and he said he wanted to press charges against his wife for entering his apartment and taking the guns, reports say.
Court records show that Irby applied for a temporary injunction against her husband and the two were in the process of a divorce.
She was charged with armed burglary of a dwelling and grand theft of a firearm.
Never...NEVER...move in with a human/alien hybrid.
They are just too unpredictable.
What was he in for?...........
“she told police her husband had been taken to jail for trying to run over her with a car.”
Unless they are legally separated, his house is her house.
I guess she expected a big THANK YOU for her actions........
A pair of rocket scientists.
I’m thinking he moved out of their place and got an apartment. Note that she has never been in his apartment.
Nothing to do with a gun, but they sound like they DEFINITELY need to be apart.
She probably lied.............
What an ugly ugly story. While I suppose the wife should not have entered her husband’s apartment since they were getting a divorce, and her right to enter in this instance is dubious, she was probably very afraid he would shoot her. After all, she probably knows him better than anyone else. In any case, she is probably safer in jail.
A match made in the back seat of a Buick.........
Beautiful! Karma’s a bitch!
Divorces are ugly and it’s even worse when the courts allow one party, 99% of the time the woman, to harass the other party under the color of law. This time it seems to have backfired on her. She thought she was going to use the law to cost him a lot of money by having his guns seized but it’s going to cost her a lot more to defend this armed robbery charge.
This is what happens when you Speed Date..................
Amen! Sometimes you live to regret it. Other times you don’t live to regret it.
Never let them into your house.
Never give them a key.
Never trust them.
Never turn your back.
Never trust them.
Never forget the friends you have seen destroyed.
Never let your biological impulses destroy your future.
Never play a game that is stacked against you.
Never.
Never.
Never.
She looks like an alien
I’d hit it...
Yeah, but if there is no legal separation, it might be difficult to make the case that she does not have a right to be there. I don’t know the particulars of this case, though. It says she got an injunction, but nothing about him getting one, nor what it actually said.
Makes me want to watch Fatal Attraction.
