Deputies: Grease-covered burglar found stuck in store window

APOPKA -- 
Orange County deputies said they found a burglar covered in grease stuck in the window of a convenience store early Saturday.

According to deputies, Chad Winslow broke into Sam's Discount Food Store, on the 2600 block of Apopka Boulevard, by sliding through a grease trap on the store's roof.

The alarm went off, and the deputy who responded said he saw Winslow, 34, stuck in one of the windows.

An arrest report said Winslow told the deputy he was stuck, could not move and had to "take a poop." The deputy helped Winslow out of the window and took him into custody.
According to the report, Winslow tried to steal two dirty magazines and three packs of cigarettes.

Winslow had several cuts and scrapes on his arms and legs. He was taken to Florida Hospital Apopka to be treated for his injuries, and then to the Orange County Jail, where he was locked up on $3,750 bond. He is charged with burglary, criminal mischief and petit theft.
Winslow initially agreed to an interview, but later backed out. We did, however, speak to the deputy who arrested him, who said the case gets even weirder -- and has everything to do with a ham sandwich.

Doll mutilator pleads guilty to gun charge

Edward Victor Williams

Published: Monday, June 24, 2013 at 19:56 PM.

PANAMA CITY — A thrice-convicted felon who federal agents found with a bomb recipe, satanic writings and bizarre shrines on his Jackson County property pleaded guilty in federal court Monday to possessing an illegal gun.

Edward Victor Williams was involved in February in an armed standoff with a game warden who saw a high-powered deer rifle in Williams’ truck before Williams allegedly threatened to kill the game warden and retreated back from the road onto his property. After he surrendered, investigators searched his property and found the rifle submerged in a pond, along with ammunition, marijuana plants and several altars or shrines.

Those shrines, which featured several baby dolls painted and mutilated to give the appearance they had been raped, burned and impaled, featured prominently in Assistant U.S. Attorney Gayle Littleton’s argument in support of an ultimately successful petition to hold Williams until trial at a hearing in April.

Williams was high on methamphetamine when he was arrested again in April. When federal agents searched his house, they found a letter addressed to the devil in which Williams apologized for acts of kindness and promised to do more evil.

Motorist beaten by golfer in Ponce Inlet after wayward shot hits truck, police say

A 63-year-old Ponce Inlet man driving by a golf course was pummeled by a golfer after the motorist complained about a golf ball hitting his truck, police said.

Police are looking for help from the public to identify the golfer, said Lt. Max Binz.

Meanwhile, motorist Richard Fillingame was at Halifax Health Medical Center in the intensive care unit waiting for facial surgery, he said Monday. He knows he was hit, but could not remember the details of the incident.

"I don't know if I have any broken bones, I guess the doctor will tell me that this afternoon," Fillingame said from his hospital room in a telephone interview.

Binz said Fillingame's injuries were serious, however, and the police report indicates that officers were looking for a golf club on the fairway. An employee at Harbour Village Golf and Yacht Club said the course is not open to the public, only to residents and their guests.

"The victim was seriously injured, and we had a few witnesses, but we don't know who the golfer is," Binz said Monday morning. "He may have been with a woman."

The incident occurred Saturday between 4:45 and 5 p.m. at the Harbour Village Links Golf Course, a report shows. Fillingame was driving along the 4500 block of South Atlantic Avenue when a golf ball hit his truck, Binz said.

An Orange County woman was arrested Thursday on aggravated child abuse charges after witnesses say she shocked her child with a stun gun for making oatmeal incorrectly on Sunday.

Melissa Heale, who works for the Orlando Health and Rehab Center, denied that she purposely shocked the child, an arrest affidavit said.

The 34-year-old mother told investigators that "everyone was just playing around with the taser and when she touched (the child) with it, it was not activated," the report said.

The child, whose name, age and gender were redacted from the report released Friday, and witnesses who talked to deputies had a different, more violent account of the incident as well as stories of ongoing instances of abuse — despite a lack of previous arrests...
