SANFORD, Fla. - Two Florida men were arrested after a dispute with two teenage boys over speeding in the Sanford neighborhood of Lake Forest. The incident happened Tuesday evening.
A teen boy told deputies he was inside the gated community – as a guest – visiting a friend when the suspects became aggressive and attacked him and a teen passenger while he was driving a white Mercedes.
"Burning out racing through my [expletive] neighborhood," one of the men is heard saying on a cell phone video recorded by the teen.
The teen called 911 asking for help.
"I was driving a little bit, like, I wasn’t supposed to be driving like that. A guy started, a guy ran in front of the road, hit my car with a cone, threw a rock through my front windshield and I knew something happened," he tells the dispatcher.
The teen and his passenger told deputies they were in fear of their lives.
Deputies arrested 61-year-old Howard Hughes, charged with property damage-criminal mischief, and battery. His neighbor, 52-year-old Donald Corsi is charged with property damage-criminal mischief, and throwing a weapon into a vehicle.
The arrest report redacts what the suspects told deputies, but in the 911 call from the teen, you can hear them accusing the boys of speeding.
"No respect. This is a neighborhood where little kids play, and you come running down here like you think you’re a race car driver," people can be heard shouting.

Folks from all over the country are pouring into Florida by the thousands
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
That is exactly why I changed my mind and decided NOT to buy property in FL!
Tens of thousands more people doesn’t improve the place.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Especially those from Neu Yawk and the Left Coast. That’s why when I retired I decided NOT to purchase property there.
Say what you will about the Left Coast, when I was stationed at Homestead...early ‘80s...I was amazed at the bulletproof booths at the gas stations. I remember coming back to Eugene, and a high school girl working the convenience store/ gas station at midnight in a questionable part of town had her math homework and the days receipts all laid out on the counter when I walked in.
these punks in reality were causing havoc...I'm sure there will be videos soon...
do you live in Eugene now?....because I’ve heard the downtown has become very sketchy.....
Oh those “teen boys.”
boy told deputies he was inside the gated community – as a guest – visiting a friend
name him...
I live on a road cars race down all the time. Speed limit to s 25 mph. Actually had one car pass another. Road is about a 1/4 mile. I understand these guys getting irate. One of my neighbors was cutting his grass and a car went so close to him he stopped and went into the house shaken
I left Eugene about 30 years ago. It was getting sketchy( ( by Eugene standards) back then. It used to be a pretty cool town.
Saw this on the local news. The poor black boy who was attacked was doing donuts in front of these guy’s houses. The news team did an interview with the poor black child as he sat with his mommy. He “feared for his life.”
At any rate, the poor child needs to understand there isn’t going to be a big payout unless he is dead or severely injured. Try again son.
“These are the kind of yahoos that caused my uncle to leave Florida.”
Yahoo exist in every State. I highly doubt he left because of yahoos.
Those tow fellas would never have been arrested back in the day. They would have been thanked by the po-po and the kids would have been stuffed into the back of a police car and given a ride home to their parents.
Nope. I knew exactly how this went down. I have to deal with this mayhem in my neighborhood all the time. "Teens" who have no business being there causing trouble.
My sympathies are with the residents. Unfortunately, there's a protected class of people who are immune from consequences.
It was yahoos. They ruined the neighborhood.
Boy I hope no one spills a bunch off concrete on that road.
Someone might destroy their front end alignment, or break a rim.
That would be terrible
