A Florida man has been arrested for allegedly harassing a gay couple who live next to him, even going so far as to menace their children, authorities say.
Frank Norviel, 57, of Leesburg, Florida, is accused of harassing his neighbors and their children as part of a months-long campaign, shining lights on them and shouting anti-gay slurs at them while he stood along the fence dividing their properties or passed by on a bicycle, according to deputies with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Other instances of Norviel’s harassment included an incident in September in which he allegedly screamed “It’s not Adam and Steve” at his neighbors while repeatedly squeaking a rubber chicken. In another incident, Norviel allegedly threatened one of the couple’s children, telling the young boy he would kill the family cat and eat it with teriyaki sauce. When the boy objected, the man told him to “shut up” and suggested he perform sex acts on his parents “like they trained you to do,” according to an affidavit.
The neighbors filed a stalking complaint against Norviel earlier this month due to that repeated harassment, which they claim was due to their sexual orientation. That led a court to grant two temporary injunctions against Norviel, stating that he could ot come within 10 feet of the couple’s vehicles, reports Orlando-area CBS affiliate WKMG.
But the day after the injunction was granted, Norviel allegedly violated the court order, according to deputies, who said he was caught on security camera footage hoistins a pair of dirty underwear above his neighbors’ driveway with a long bamboo pole, and placing a white cross, facing his neighbors’ house, on top of the fence between Norviel’s property and theirs.
On Jan. 10, a Lake County deputy who was canvassing the area saw lights and noises coming from Norviel’s backyard. The deputy claims that when they approached the home to get a better look, Norviel emerged from his house and began screaming at the deputy, accusing them of trespassing as he retreated back into the home.
The deputy identified themselves as law enforcement and grabbed one of Norviel’s arms in order to stop him from barricading himself, according to a charging affidavit. Norviel tried to push away, leading the deputy to grab both of his arms. They fell to the ground and managed to get one handcuff on Norviel before he freed his hand and swung his arm back, with the cuffs leaving bloody lacerations on the deputy’s arm.
The deputy warned Norviel that they would use their Taser if he didn’t stop resisting, but Norviel allegedly wouldn’t calm down, prompting the deputy to taser him before taking him into cusotdy. Norviel currently faces charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, three counts of resisting an officer without violence.
In the interest of fairness we have had 3 gay guys and their 20 or so rescue cats living in the rental house next door for 6-7 years. They just bought a house and moved recently. We were sorry to see them go. They were the nicest neighbors we have had there in the 21 years I’ve lived here.
Up votes. lots of them.
Yeah, I don’t begrudge her her lawn. (Besides...I’m sure the weed and feed would kill the wildflowers) I walked across it once, and it was like a feather bed. That was when she had people coming in to maintain it. It’s about 300 square feet. I’ve watched her mow it a couple of times. She picks up the mower and moves it so the tire tracks stay in straight lines. I could do without the tacky concrete animals/angels, but it’s her yard.
What a sick world we have turned into.
Throw some mothballs in your flowerbed
You might check, so you don't get fined or have your kitty confiscated. Many counties have web sites.
It's always been a fallen world, the devil's playground. But with the suppressing and denouncing of our religious foundation in JudeoChristianity, the slide is accelerating. People don't even know how to think logically any more. "Me, me, me."
"It's my time now."
Three gay guys living together at the same time, or in succession?
All together.
So, if they had orgies in their home every weekend with 20 guests, they’d still be “nice” neighbors?
You have a strange notion of “nice.”
They never had orgies at their home. There was an elderly man and the two younger ones in their forties were his caretakers. They had been taking care of him for years. They both also had other jobs.
Frankly Imma take an educated guess that you’re on a waiting list to get that popsicle stick surgically removed from your zzz. 😄
My question is a simple one: what makes a “nice neighbor?” Define that.
Bet you can’t, biotch.
Good luck with that surgery. 😆
20 cats? They must have a litter room.
A lesbian couple has lived across the street from us for almost 20 years. They’ve raised two straight daughters and have 3 grandkids and are expecting 2 more. They’re the best neighbors we’ve ever had.
