    Timothy Schultz, a 42-year-old Florida man, survived an apparent gator bite only to die Monday after attacking deputies with garden shears, authorities said. Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) Grady Judd alleged in a press conference that Schultz was high on meth during his swim in an alligator-infested lake and subsequent rampage with shears. While Schultz was swimming in the lake, one person tried to warn him about the gators and another threw a life vest at him, according to the sheriff. A gator then appeared to bite his right arm, Judd said. When Schultz emerged from the lake, he allegedly...

The wild scenes erupted after Timothy Schulz, 42, was spotted swimming in an alligator-infested lake in Lakeland, south of Orlando, early Monday, authorities said. Schulz, who cops said was high on drugs, had growled at good Samaritans trying to toss him a life vest just moments before one of the gators bit his right arm. “The fact that he was bitten by an alligator and still continued his rampage is shocking,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd...

    A man was arrested after he allegedly broke the window of a Del Taco in Florida because he was denied service, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office. It was around midnight Sundaywhen the suspect Anthony Izzo pulled into the drive-thru in Port Charlotte, a city about 30 miles northwest of Fort Myers, according to NBC affiliate Gulf Coast News, citing the sheriff's office. Employees told Izzo they were closed, and couldn't take his order because they had shut the kitchen down and put away the meat, authorities said. Moments later, employees heard loud popping noises, and one worker called...

    A Hernando High School teacher and football coach was arrested last week after police say he gave a student Kratom. Kratom is a drug that, in low doses, produces stimulant-like effects like high energy and increased alertness. In high doses, it can act as a sedative. The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office said on May 9, a school resource deputy responded to a classroom where a 17-year-old student was having a medical emergency. The student was unresponsive, had a rapid pulse, shallow breathing and was hot to the touch, the deputy said. He performed a sternum rub on the student, who...

    The FBI arrested Sarah Beth Clendaniel of Catonsville and Brandon Russell of Orlando, Florida, last month. Federal prosecutors allege that the pair were planning to destroy five energy facilities in Norrisville, Reisterstown, Perry Hall and other parts of the Baltimore area. Clendaniel, 34, and Russell, 27, plotted to shoot up and damage the substations because they thought the attacks would “completely destroy this whole city [of Baltimore]” and cause a “cascading failure costing billions of dollars,” according to an FBI affidavit. The two were indicted Feb. 14 of a single count of conspiring to destroy an energy facility, after being...

    Is this evidence that Daniels and Sayoc, and possibly Michael Avenatti, are involved in a false flag operation to destroy President Trump? Shouldn’t that possibility at least be investigated? See also here. Shad Olson captured Sayoc’s Facebook page before it was scrubbed, and found that until 2016, Sayoc was a hardcore leftist who posted memes of George W. Bush with blood on his hands (above) and the like. Then he suddenly became a conservative Trump supporter, with no hint of a change of heart?

    The man arrested Friday on suspicion of mailing a dozen pipe bombs to President Trump's political enemies formerly worked as a male stripper, his former employer told the Washington Examiner. Event promoter Tony Valentine said he hired Cesar Sayoc in the 1990s to strip on multiple occasions in Ohio and that Sayoc traveled the country for similar appearances. "He really couldn't find his niche in life, and I guess he found it now," Valentine told the Washington Examiner. "Back in the '90s, he was running around from Minnesota to the Carolinas to Florida. He was like a gypsy."

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office shared video on its Facebook page Monday. JSO “joined forces with Florida Fish & Wildlife, the Florida Hoghway Patrol and none other than local gator-wrangling legend, the Blue Collar Brawler, to wrangle this beast off the road and keep everyone safe,” the post states. “Just another totally normal day in...

The documents show that John Mark Dougan, who also served in the U.S. Marines and has long claimed to be working independently of the Russian government, was provided funding by an officer from the GRU, the country’s military intelligence service.

    People on social media are outraged over a video reportedly taken at the scene of a fatal mass shooting at Florida State University in Tallahassee, on Thursday, April 17. But it's not just over the alleged shooter, identified by Tallahassee police as 20-year-old FSU student Phoenix Ikner. It's over video that was seemingly shot by someone walking past a wounded, bleeding woman lying face down on the grass. Rather than stopping to help or even running away from an active shooter, as what sounds like two shots are fired in the background, the person walks by while sipping from a...
