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

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.
