An elderly Florida man is facing serious charges after allegedly trying to kill his wife so she would not be alone after he committed suicide.

On October 26, a 93-year-old man and his wife of 60 years were at their home in Ocala. It was reported that he suffers from chronic debilitating pain, and on that day like many other occasions, he mentioned to his wife that he wanted to end his life. He became concerned that if he followed through, he would be leaving her by herself. He reportedly retrieved a rope and snuck up behind her while she was watching television. Before she realized what was happening, the man allegedly put it around her neck and began choking her with it, but she was able to break free and call the authorities for help.

Deputies with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office went to the address to investigate, and the woman was outside when they arrived. She explained what happened, and the deputies took note of the marks on her throat. Her husband was in the house, and when he talked to the deputies, he reportedly told them he was going to use the rope to kill his wife before using it to kill himself.

After being accused of retail theft-related offenses in August, a Florida man with a criminal history dating back decades was booked into the same jail for the 75th time.

Last month, a man from Clearwater reached a troubling milestone – his 75th arrest and booking into the Orient Road Jail. The 57-year-old habitual offender was first arrested in 1985, and over nearly four decades, he has faced numerous charges that resulted in 11 stints in prison.

According to reports, agents from the Hillsboro County Sheriff’s Office Organized Retail Theft Unit were investigating claims that fraudulent activity had resulted in merchandise from Lowe’s stores in Hillsboro and Clearwater Counties being stolen an estimated total of ten times. They purported that the person executed the scheme by taking barcodes from less expensive items and placing them onto higher-priced merchandise, allowing them to purchase products at a significantly lower cost. They believed they had enough information to determine who had carried out the alleged fraud, and upon further investigation, the authorities said the suspect had posted multiple online ads selling what they assumed was merchandise from Lowe’s.

A Florida man was arrested after he called the authorities to report that he saw an alligator tied to a fence by its jaw, and they came to believe he was the person responsible for the act.

According to reports, there are over one million alligators in the state of Florida, and there are several ways the state protects them from harm. Some of these include making it illegal to feed them and preventing them from being captured or keeping them or their eggs without a state license to do so, in addition to the creation of the Alligator Management Program which serves to assist with various problems involving alligators.

Early in the morning on July 31, the authorities in Cape Canaveral received a call from a man who said he was walking past a canal when he saw a white rope tied to the top rung of the metal handrail above. He reported that when he looked down, he saw an alligator at the other end, and it looked like he was stuck on the rope.
