Deputies: Woman hired ‘hit man’ to paralyze ex-boyfriend

Tag: NEWS — Andrew @ 11:51 am

Stephanie Jean Came woman couldn’t afford to have ex-boyfriend killed so she offered $500 down to get him crippled, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.

The “hit man” turned out to be an undercover law enforcement officer, as happens so often in mayhem-for-hire cases.

Came, 21, met the man about noon Wednesday at the Sip-and-Dip coffee shop in St. Cloud and promised to pay $500 more after her ex-boyfriend was paralyzed from the neck down, according to the arrest report and interviews, reports the Orlando Sentinel.

Wednesday’s arrest report is unusual because Came’s home address, telephone numbers, occupation and where she works were blacked out. That only can happen under state public records law if an adult defendant has signed a waiver as a victim in a current domestic violence case, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

The report states the ex-boyfriend is being held in the Osceola County Jail charged with aggravated battery, the report stated. His name was blacked out of Came’s arrest report out of concern for his safety, sheriff’s spokesman Twis Lizasuain told the Orlando Sentinel.

In a pair of secretly recorded conversations, according to the report, Came

Report: TV exec acts like drunken stripper at restaurant

Tag: NEWS — Andrew @ 11:39 pm

One of the top managers at WPEC-Ch. 12 in West Palm Beach was arrested Sunday night in Delray Beach for allegedly acting like a drunken stripper in a Delray Beach restaurant called The Office, reports The Palm Beach Post’s Jose Lambiet.

Advertising executive Randi Goldklank was acting like a drunken exotic dancer, touching herself inappropriately, according to a police report.

Goldklank, the report reads, was “touching herself, removing her top and dancing on a pole like a stripper.” Restaurant staff asked her to leave, then called the law when she refused to go.

According to the police report, she allegedly told the arresting officer repeatedly that if he “did not let her go he’d be on the news, since she works for CH-12.”

The 42-year-old Goldklank was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Looks like she made the news again?

When Goldklank was vice president and general manager of WHDH-Ch.7 in Boston, she was arrested three years ago at Logan Airport after she caused a disturbance on a plane and assaulted state troopers, screaming, “Do you know who the [expletive] I am?” according to Fox-25 News in Boston.

Florida insurance company drops vet over 2-cent shortage

Tag: NEWS — Andrew @ 11:21 am

Just two pennies.

But those 2-cents could cost Thorton, Colo.-based Vietnam veteran Ronald Flanagan everything.

Ronald’s wife, Frances Flanagan, was paying their monthly health insurance premium online in November, when she accidently swapped a 7 for a 9, leaving their $328.69 payment 2 cents short, reports WMGH News in Denver.

“If I only had just hit the nine instead of the seven,” Frances told WMGH News.

Their St. Petersburg, Fla.-based insurance benefits administrator, Ceridian Cobra Services, promptly dropped the Flanagans for the 2-cent shortage, reports WMGH News.

“The nurses were just getting ready to do the (bone) biopsy when my wife popped into the office and told them, ‘Stop. We don’t have any insurance,’” Ron told WMGH News.

Ron has been battling cancer since 2008. He has multiple myeloma, a bone marrow cancer. Doctors at St. Luke’s in Colorado have performed stem cell transplant surgery twice. He needs another transplant before the end of February. They even have a donor. But because of the 2-cent mistake, Ceridian Cobra Services will not pay for the procedure, according to WMGH News.

In a statement, Ceridian Cobra Services told WMGH News, “We did not receive a full

FloriDUH: Mysterious grand piano found on sandbar

Tag: NEWS — Andrew @ 10:55 pm

There is a new piano bar in Miami.

A grand piano mysteriously appeared on a sandbar in Biscayne Bay off Northeast 107th Street. Whoever put it there placed it at the highest point of the sandbar so that it’s not underwater during high tide, reports The Miami Herald.

A grand piano weighs at least 650 pounds and is unwieldy to move, Bob Shapiro, a salesman at Piano Music Center in Pembroke Park, told the Herald. “You don’t take it out there in a rowboat,” Shapiro said.

Throwing away a grand piano may seem like a waste of money, but it may not be. In decent condition, a used grand piano would cost at least $3,000 to $4,000. But many pianos wear out from the literally tons of pressure on the internal parts. Cheaper models aren’t worth the cost of rebuilding.

“It could be worth nothing,” Shapiro said. “Pianos don’t grow old gracefully. They just wear out.”

This much is clear, however: The piano isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Unless it becomes a danger to wildlife or boaters, authorities have no plans to haul it away.

Walmart shoplifting suspect, armed to the teeth, resists arrest

Tag: NEWS — Andrew @ 10:50 am

It took three Walmart employees to detain shoplifting suspect Jennifer Monique Upton — who fought tooth and nail, reports First Coast News in Jacksonville.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, a loss prevention employee said he saw the 31-year-old woman and an unnamed male putting DVDs into a comforter on Sunday evening. He said the two then paid for the comforter, but not the hidden DVDs, according to First Coast News.

The three employees who ushered Upton into the loss prevention office told police she resisted, even telling the male to get a gun. The responding officer saw the surveillance video, reporting it shows Upton pushing the employees, picking up a pen and trying to stab one of them, and finally biting one of them twice on the arm, drawing blood, reports First Coast News.

As Upton was being taken into custody, a baggie of marijuana fell from her jacket, according to the officer’s report.

She denied telling the male to get a gun, but did say she told the male employee she would get someone to “beat his ***” if he touched her again, reports First Coast

FloriDUH: Woman eats couch cushions

Tag: NEWS — Andrew @ 10:42 pm

Adele of Bradenton introduced herself to the world through the TLC show “My Strange Addiction.”

The 30-year-old woman says she has been eating the foam from her cushions since she was 10 years old, when her cousin introduced her to it. Twenty years later, Adele has eaten 200 pounds of foam, or roughly 7 couches and 2 chairs, reports WTSP News in Tampa Bay.

It turns out there is a medical disorder called PICA that is characterized by people who have an appetite for craving odd things to eat. Studies indicate the craving can be caused by a lack of iron in the body, reports WTSP News.

While Adele doesn’t get any iron out of the foam, she does prefer the dirtier parts of the pillow: “I like the darker parts because they have more flavor,” Adele said on the show.

Despite recognizing her addiction, Adele admitted on the show, “I love eating couch cushions.”

Report: Arson suspect left ‘tip’ for police

Tag: NEWS — Andrew @ 10:03 pm

Police arrested Ismael Ortiz, a suspect in an arsonist-for-hire in Titusville, after they said he made a critical mistake — he left the tip of his finger at the scene of the crime, reports the Orlando Sentinel.

Meanwhile, detectives are seeking the public’s help in finding the man they say was trying to pull off an insurance scam by burning down his house.

Police were called to a fire at a home about 11:15 a.m. Saturday.

While they were investigating, police said, they discovered evidence of accelerants, leading them to determine that the fire was likely an arson.

Then, while sifting through evidence, officers got a tip — literally. They found a piece of a latex glove with the tip of a finger inside.

Police said they found their suspect at a local hospital. They matched the tip to 24-year-old Ismael Ortiz, who detectives said quickly confessed.

But how did the suspect clip his tip? Detective Jessica Edens explained: Trying to flee after setting the fire, “he slammed his finger in the door,” Edens said, “and it cut the tip of his finger off.”

Police said Ortiz told detectives he was hired by a

FloriDUH: Phone sex alibi didn’t fly in murder trial

Tag: NEWS — Andrew @ 9:31 pm

Shaketa Jones, 29, tried to convince a jury that she was having phone sex with her boyfriend as the police shot him to death during a botched robbery at a gas station in Jacksonville last May, reports The Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville.

The defense didn’t work: Jones was convicted of second-degree murder.

Jones was charged with Cooper’s death because she planned the robbery and served as a lookout.

Photos shown to the jury made it appear that her boyfriend’s SUV was parked to look at the gas station’s front door while Cooper, who was waiting outside the store in another SUV, would have needed a cue to accost the manager as he walked outside, reports The Times-Union.

However, Jones said she was having phone sex with Cooper, not telling him to rob anyone. Phone records showed Cooper and Jones talked for 53 minutes, including during the robbery, according to The Times-Union.

“So that’s what you’re telling this jury. That during that conversation, he [Cooper] decides, ‘I’ll just kick it up a notch. I’ll go commit a robbery,’ Prosecutor John Guy stated during the trial.

Because of other robberies in the area a
