Drivers had to swerve to avoid suspect
A woman said she swung a metal pipe at passing cars because she was having a “nicotine fit” and she was upset that none of the drivers would stop to give her cigarettes, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they were called to the area of County Road 452 and South Em En El Grove Road around 10:30 a.m. Easter Sunday and found Amy Hunt swinging a 3 foot long metal pole at vehicle as they drove by, forcing the drivers to swerve.
When deputies asked her about her behavior, they said she told them she was having a “nicotine fit” and she was angry that the passing motorists wouldn’t give her cigarettes.
Hunt, 36, was told to stay out of the road and stop swinging the metal pole but a short time later she was caught doing it again, forcing three drivers to swerve in order to avoid her and the pole, records show.
Deputies said Hunt resisted and tried to get free and run away while they were attempting to handcuff her.
She was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting a law enforcement officer without violence.
Well, I guess it’s a good thing she hasn’t found out about meth yet.
I always wondered what happened to my old boss.
She should’ve called out to her brother Michael for help.
Somehow I get the feeling there is a little more than tobacco involved here but that is just hunch. The say every pot has a lid. Florida man here is your lid.
guilty as all get out
That’s a KEEPER!
At least she was taking action to solve her problem. It didn’t work the first time, then she tried it again. She could have tried something else, but at least she showed perseverance.

Because... Florida!
I guess I’m doing better than I thought.
Pure nuts.
Wife told me that the one thing they never did in the mental halfway house was take their cigarettes away. If they did, all hell broke loose.
BTW, pulled that one on a friend of mine. Just wrote down the name and number of the sexually transmitted disease clinic (didn't say what the number was to. Just told him to call.) He fell for it. It was glorious.
I would have bought her a pack of cigarettes.
He also goes by just Mike.
Not that it matters, but what was she wearing?
She may have gotten her smoke (and more) if she paid a little attention to wardrobe.
AKA “hissy fit”.

...
Why didn’t they arrest her the first time?
She looks like she has potential to clean up pretty well.
Aren’t you cunning.
