Florida man demands drug money from woman, crushes her truck with excavator

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida man was arrested and accused of using an excavator to crush a woman’s truck after she failed to find enough money to buy drugs, authorities said.

According to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, 36-year-old Richard Hamilton, of Englewood, was “laughing hysterically” as he used the bucket of an excavator to smash the woman’s Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck on Sunday.

Deputies said the incident began on Saturday night when Hamilton drove the woman to several gas stations around town — all while demanding she find money for drugs. Hamilton became “increasingly agitated” after the woman failed to come up with enough money, the sheriff’s office added.

A day later, on Sept. 11, Hamilton and the woman drove to his place of work at Kelly’s Stone Sand & Boulders. There, Hamilton got out of the woman’s pick-up and took the keys with him. When the woman told him her phone had died calling several people in an effort to borrow money, Hamilton physically assaulted her, deputies said.

Sometime later, Hamilton was seen “laughing hysterically “and smashing the pick-up truck using the bucket of an excavator.

Piker. A real Florida man would have crushed the Silverado with her in it.

I heard of a man with a cement truck. Buick Riveria convertible parked in front of his house. Went in and saw his wife in bed with another man so he filled the car up with cement. Happened back in the 60’s.

I heard he saw the strange car in front of his house, so he filled it full of concrete.

Turns out, she had bought the car for him as a special present.

Well, I can’t say this story will beat yours, but a former Sheriff in my county (Escambia, FL) came home to find a deputy having sex with his wife. So he shot the deputy in the butt.

Yep. Late last week, he was pounding on my door and my neighbors’ doors, undoubtedly on drugs. He had also called 911 on himself and left a backpack on a neighbor’s porch three doors up the street. Sheriff’s deputies finally caught up to him and arrested him on a neighboring street.

I think you mean “killdozer”. yeah that guy was on the receiving end of some petty bureaucrat’s power trip. he destroyed the dude’s house. not saying he was right to do so, but I can kind of see how he justified his actions in his own mind

I was living nearby at the time, know/knew all the players, and that is a very incomplete and misleading few sentences you wrote there.
