An allegedly ongoing tense relationship between two Florida roommates reportedly escalated into violence and an attempted murder charge over discarded alcohol.

The two men involved in the incident had lived together on and off for seven years and reportedly had frequent arguments. Recently, a situation occurred when one roommate went through the other’s trash and took a vodka bottle, believing it could be used to get the landlord involved. The man reportedly became angry by the intrusive act, and the situation escalated. It was reported that a couple of days before the incident, the two had also argued, and the suspect allegedly threatened to kill his roommate. The alleged victim went to stay at a friend’s house to try to calm things down.

On the morning of the alleged attack, the suspect reportedly woke his roommate under the pretense of needing a ride to the hospital for a rib injury, which the authorities later believed was a false claim. With the man in the driver’s seat and the suspect in the passenger seat, the 61-year-old allegedly aimed a crossbow at his roommate. The alleged victim was struck in the ear by the arrow but was not seriously harmed. A struggle broke out, during which the roommate took the crossbow away from the suspect and hit him with it. The suspect was knocked to the ground.

A Florida man believed to have called 911 at least 45 times in six months was arrested for allegedly making a false bomb threat and assaulting the responding police officers.

On September 11, a man in Melbourne called 911 and reportedly told the dispatcher he planned to use a homemade explosive device to blow up a local causeway. The dispatcher believed they recognized his voice as an individual who had called approximately 45 times in a six month period. The report was still taken seriously, and law enforcement from the City of Melbourne Police headed to the location.

The caller stayed on the phone with the dispatcher, and according to the police report, he claimed he had previously blown up other causeways, had an AK-47 and other guns, and kills for a living. It was additionally noted that he said he was affiliated with a street gang and the mob.

A cosmetology instructor in Southwest Louisiana who was arrested last week for her alleged involvement in a domestic violence incident is also facing charges for reportedly pushing a police officer and possessing illegal prescription drugs.

When law enforcement responds to a domestic violence call, they sometimes uncover other illegal activity during their investigation that leads to the suspect facing a stack of criminal allegations. According to reports, one such instance occurred on September 8 at a home in Vinton. While there are currently limited details about what happened during the alleged domestic incident, it was reported that the person the police believed was the aggressor was a 44-year-old woman who teaches cosmetology at West Orange-Stark High School.

When the authorities were notified about the potential domestic unrest, officers from the Vinton Police Department went to the address to investigate. The woman, whom they believed was intoxicated, allegedly shoved one of the officers while they were interacting.

A woman was arrested after reportedly going to work instead of stopping to assist when she allegedly hit her coworker with her vehicle in the parking lot.

On September 7, a 67-year-old woman from New Orleans was running late for her shift at a nursing home in Slidell. When she got there, she entered the one-way cul-de-sac that surrounds the entrance of the building, and she saw an open parking spot behind her. When she backed up, she reportedly struck an individual later identified as one of her coworkers. According to reports, she went into the building and clocked in instead of helping the alleged victim, but she told other employees that the woman had fallen outside. Paramedics took the woman to a nearby hospital, where an examination of her injuries caused the doctors to believe that they were not caused by a fall. The authorities were notified, and officers from the Slidell Police Department went to the nursing home to investigate the scene.

They reviewed the surveillance footage, and the police reported that they saw the incident as it occurred. They also noted that the suspect picked up a piece of her car that was damaged, causing them to believe she “knew she struck a person and went as far as to remove evidence to cover her tracks.”

The mother of a 3-year-old in North Carolina was arrested when she was accused of leaving the boy unsupervised after he was found walking down the street alone wearing only underpants.

Reports suggest that young children, especially toddlers, are prone to wandering away from home in an attempt to satisfy their curiosity about their expanding world. While caregivers typically employ several measures to prevent kids from doing so, it is virtually impossible to watch them at all times. On September 5, a family in Monroe experienced an unfortunate situation when a 3-year-old boy was seen roaming around the neighborhood after his mother left him at a family member’s home.

At some point before 10:00 AM, several people reported that they saw a youngster walking around by himself, and he only had underwear on. The child made it to the parking lot of a local bar, reported to be approximately a quarter mile from the residence. The authorities were notified, and an adult witness stayed with the toddler until the police got there. Officers learned that it was the second time the youngster had been found alone in the same area. They also reported that they believed his mother left him without letting anyone know he was there.
