From Indefatigable Reader Mike L. comes this sorry tale:
A Florida man was arrested for attempted murder after a woman was transported to the hospital with a hatchet protruding from her head.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, deputies had responded Tuesday at around 10:30 a.m. to an attempted murder.
Deputies located the woman, 56, with a hatchet protruding from her head. She was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The wannabe-axe murderer had fled the scene of the attack before deputies arrived. Detectives found his vehicle later that day in Gainesville, Florida.
And just before 3 a.m. on Thursday, the scumbag was pulled over by an Alachua County Sheriff’s Office deputy and taken into custody. He was then transported to the Alachua County Jail, where he was tied to a chair so that the deputies could play Whack-A-Mole on his head with their night sticks for a few hours.
Okay, parts of that report may have been ummm embellished a little. But I know y’all would have wanted it to end that way.
His mug shot is exactly what you’d expect “Florida Man” to look like.
It’s no longer an attempted murder charge.
From the comments: “Now she has 2 gaping hatchet wounds.”
