Florida - Two men have been charged with armed robbery after demanding an eggbeater from their victim.
That's right.... a metal eggbeater.
Taurus Deshane Morris and Robert Eugene Thompson have been arrested by detectives at the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office after they allegedly entered a home in Plant City (Thompson with a knife and Morris with a pistol -- allegedly of course).
Both suspects, who were sent to Orient Road Jail, are charged with armed burglary. Thompson also has been charged with a count of aggravated assault as it is alleged that the held the knife to the throat of the victim.
Man goes to a McDonalds...orders food.....offers to (allegedly) pay with...marijuana?
That is the story coming out of Vero Beach, Florida. The Indian River County Sheriffs department state that a cashier at above mentioned McDonalds called 911 and said that a man at the drive-thru offered to pay for his meal with marijuana and gave a description of the vehicle he was in.
The cops found the vehicle (marijuana inside) and arrested it's occupant, 27 year-old Shawn Alexander Pannullo.
Pannullo was charged with possession and posted the bail of $500.
It is unclear if he paid for his food using something else.
How come these stories don't surprise me anymore?
