    Woman trespasses Miami high school and poses as student to gain Instagram followers, police say

    https://www.local10.com/news/local/...student-in-order-to-gain-instagram-followers/


    MIAMI – A Miami Beach woman has been charged and ordered to stay away from a local high school after police say she trespassed the school and pretended to be a student.

    According to police, it all started when 28-year-old Audrey Nicole Francisquini, a Carnival Cruise Line employee who works in sales, entered American Senior High School in Miami on Monday.

    That is when security confronted Francisquini, but she portrayed herself to security as a student, and stated that she was looking for the registration office.

    However, instead of walking to the office, she walked straight past it down a hallway, confronting multiple students as they were trying to enter a classroom.

    Upon this confrontation, she allegedly stopped them from entering said classroom, preventing them from entering for class.

    That is when school security confronted her for a second time. This time, she refused to stop for school security entirely — and security notified the school administration of a potential threat on school campus.

    Once Francisquini witnessed the number of school officials who began surrounding her, she began walking towards an exit door and out onto the faculty parking lot, which ultimately lead her towards the street. When police began yelling commands at her to stop, she ignored them and walked off the school property.

    Imagine telling yourself how this would be ok and how the end result would ultimately amount to a massive gain.

    We as human beings are so screwed

    There was one injury, Marsh said, and the person refused transport against medical advice.
    Refused going to the hospital after being engulfed in flames? Maybe Florida Man as emerging Mutant Powers and was testing them out. Could be why he didn’t want to go to hospital.

    Florida Man Tries, Fails, to Use ‘Stand Your Ground’ Defense Against an Iguana

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/flori...e-stand-your-ground-defense-against-an-iguana

    https://us.cnn.com/2021/06/02/us/florida-animal-cruelty-stand-your-ground-trnd/index.html

    (CNN)A Florida man accused of killing an iguana last year wanted a charge of animal cruelty dismissed on the basis of the state's "stand your ground" law. A judge has denied his motion.

    PJ Nilaja Patterson was arrested after allegedly beating, dragging and kicking a 3-foot iguana in Lake Worth, Florida, on September 2, 2020, according to a probable cause affidavit. The animal died as Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control was transporting it to be euthanized, according to the affidavit.
    Patterson's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the charge, but Judge Jeffrey Gillen denied the motion on Friday.

    In their motion, Patterson's attorneys Frank Vasconcelos and Carey Haughwout said their client was trying to save an iguana from getting run over by cars. When he brought it to safety, a crowd agitated the animal and it bit his right arm when he tried to move it, according to the motion. It says he then "kicked the iguana as far as he could." Patterson had to get 22 staples in his arm because of the bite, according to the motion.

    "In this case, Patterson acted in a reasonable manner under all the circumstances because the wild iguana was first to engage with physical violence, during the encounter," his attorneys wrote.

    Florida's stand your ground law states deadly force can be used if a person "reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm." In this case, Patterson's attorneys said the animal was the first to engage in aggression, so Patterson had a right to defend himself.

    They also wrote that Patterson believed the iguana "could have injected poison" into him.

    "Thus he rushed to incapacitate the iguana the best way he could in order to preserve its antidote," they wrote.

    Vasconcelos maintains his client's innocence, and in an email to CNN, said they will "fight this case until the very end." He also added that the iguana bite left his client with "permanent marks."

    Assistant State Attorney Alexandra Dorman wrote in response to the motion to dismiss that the entire episode was captured in a 32-minute surveillance video.
    She wrote that the video shows how Patterson tormented the iguana, which "was not bothering anyone and did not pose a threat to anyone." She said there was no provocation or no justification for the actions.

    According to the affidavit, Dr. Virginia Sayre of Animal Control performed a necropsy, which found the iguana had a lacerated liver, fractured pelvis, blood in its mouth, blood in its abdomen and a lacerated tongue. Sayre also wrote the iguana's fatal injuries were "painful and terrifying."

    "The Defendant unnecessarily put himself in a position to be bit by this animal," Dorman wrote. "The State's position is that Stand Your Ground does not even apply to this case because the iguana is not a human being."

    Patterson is due back in court on July 30. He faces up to five years in prison if convicted of animal cruelty.

    A 14-year-old girl is seriously hurt after she and a 12-year-old boy allegedly armed themselves with stolen guns and opened fire on Florida deputies, officials said.

    The children, who reportedly ran away from a group home hours earlier, allegedly broke into an empty house Tuesday night, which the homeowner said was stocked with an AK-47, a handgun, a shotgun and a large amount of ammunition, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.

    The 12-year-old boy told investigators he grabbed the AK-47 and two loaded magazines for the AK-47 from a case in the bedroom, according to the charging affidavit.

    Deputies surrounded the home and made announcements, trying to talk the children into surrendering peacefully, according to the sheriff's office.

    But the children started shooting, allegedly with the homeowner's guns, the sheriff's office said.

    Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said the children fired from multiple angles and the girl allegedly threatened to kill a sergeant.

    The 12-year-old later told investigators that the 14-year-old had said, "I'm gonna roll this down like GTA," referring to the video game Grand Theft Auto, Chitwood said.

    Deputies tried to call those who knew the children who could help negotiate, Chitwood said, and a sergeant threw his personal cell phone to the kids to try to make contact.

    "Nothing, nothing worked," Chitwood said at a news conference Wednesday.

    "They were coming out to kill cops," Chitwood told reporters Tuesday night.

    The boy said he fired multiple rounds from the AK-47 and had to reload the second magazine, according to the charging affidavit.

    She was shot and wounded by a deputy, suffering life-threatening injuries, officials said. She's in "critical but stable" condition, the sheriff said Wednesday afternoon.

    The boy, who wasn't hurt, surrendered, officials said.

    The sheriff on Wednesday released dramatic body camera video and video filmed by air.
    The body camera showed an officer standing behind a tree as many shots rang out.


    "Female has a shotgun in her hand," he said at one point, and later shouted, "Put the gun down now!"

    "They're shooting at me," he said later.

    "She's got the AK and the shotgun... shots fired again, female now has a pistol," he said.

    Chitwood said Tuesday night, "Deputies did everything they could tonight to de-escalate and they almost lost their lives."

    "They took rounds -- multiple, multiple rounds -- before they were left with no other choice but to return fire," Chitwood said.

    "Deputies had nowhere to hide but trees," he added.

    No deputies were hurt, officials said.

    Both children were charged with attempted first-degree murder and armed burglary, according to documents.

    Was it an all electric Hummer?

    That would raise the Florida level by at least 5 gators.
