WEKIWA SPRINGS, Fla. – A man living in Wekiwa Springs was arrested Thursday, accused of arming himself with a handgun and shooting it during a dispute with a landscaper working near his address that morning, according to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.

Jeffrey Perlman, 68, and the landscaper were on opposite sides of a brick wall between Terra Oaks and Kapok courts when the dispute began, with the landscaper on the Kapok Court side, deputies said.

Perlman allegedly drove his vehicle to the Kapok Court side, where he confronted the landscaper and stated he would call the police. To this, the landscaper told Perlman to go ahead because he would be done before officers arrived, according to an arrest report.

At this point, Perlman ran to his vehicle and returned with a handgun, deputies said. The landscaper reported hearing “a pop and (feeling) sand hit (his) left leg.” Although the report in its current state does not mention injuries to either party, it contains redacted information in the very next sentence that will be included in this story if made public.

Perlman allegedly stated the landscaper had threatened him with lawn clippers, though the reporting deputy noted here that Perlman disengaged from the dispute to retrieve a handgun from a vehicle about 6-8 feet away from him, returned to the scene, discharged the firearm and did not call law enforcement.

According to booking records, Perlman faces charges of firing a weapon in public or on residential property and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill. He was initially booked to be held on a $5,500 bond amount, deputies said, and is due back in court Friday at 2 p.m.

Florida is becoming like Chicago.

Too many people crammed together.

I had an experience similar to this. My neighbor pulled a gun on me, I wanted to borrow my lawn mower back and I don’t live in Florida. 😳

What’s happening in DeSantis Florida?

I can't imagine how it is to live life in a manner that required me to try and interpret everything as the consequence of a politician.

Embarrassing.

I scanned the headline and thought it read, “Florida man’s argument with skyscraper . . .”.

That’s a tall challenge. The key term syllable is scraper, then you can insert, road, paint, three point, box, etc etc etc, at this point us hillbilly’s say. “Quit ringing that effing bell, you’re giving me a headache.” 😀

You keep hearing all of these stories about Florida. How Florida should be the blueprint for the nation. DeSantis has turned Florida into a land of milk and honey, a conservative Shangri-La, and then you see story after story like this.

So we keep hearing that DeSantis took “woke” out of the schools. But from 4th grade on up your children are exposed to whatever LGBT gender studies crap the left wants to drum into their innocent little heads. Because the law DeSantis passed only affects kindergarten through 3rd grade. Pretty tricky. His law only postpones the inevitable. It just makes it a little more palatable.

Read the fine print and stop swallowing MSM swill. Trump 2024!
