    A 30-year-old woman is facing a domestic battery charge after allegedly striking her daughter. With a frozen chicken.

    Cops say the purported poultry crime occurred early yesterday in the St. Petersburg, Florida residence of Mary Marquardt and her child (whose age is not listed in court records).

    “The victim stated that the accused threw a frozen chicken at her and struck her on the right leg,” according to an arrest affidavit.

    Marquardt’s sister told police that she observed the defendant tossing the bird (and striking the victim with the chilled chicken).

    The affidavit does not disclose what prompted the alleged attack, which resulted in Marquardt’s bust on a misdemeanor count. She posted a $150 cash bond last night after spending about 20 hours on ice at the county jail.

    Seen at right, Marquardt, who has pleaded not guilty, has been ordered by a judge to have no contact with her daughter.

    The document does not specify if the victim--who apparently escaped injury--was hit with a whole chicken or just a bird part.

    Marquardt was arrested in 2018 for headbutting her husband during an altercation that, cops say, left him with a “busted bloody bottom lip.” After Marquardt’s spouse requested that she not be prosecuted, the battery count was dropped by the state attorney.

    A Missouri man is locked up following an alleged crime spree that included him pointing a gun at multiple victims while stealing a taco from a Mexican restaurant in St. Louis, records show.

    Antonio Murray, 19, was charged this week with robbing Lilly’s Panaderia at gunpoint earlier this month. Witnesses told cops that Murray pointed a gun at bakery employees before swiping a taco.

    After being collared, Murray reportedly admitted that he “walked up to the taco stand with the gun out, asked for a taco, and left without paying,” according to a probable cause statement.

    A female employee told cops that she had been preparing the taco for another customer when Murray approached her and grabbed the food item, declaring “it belonged to him” while pointing the gun at “multiple people.”

    When arrested, Murray--charged with felony robbery--was carrying a BB gun in his waistband which “did resemble a real firearm.”

    The taco holdup is just one entry on Murray’s pending criminal court docket. The teen faces a pair of misdemeanor property damage counts for allegedly smashing two separate store windows.   

    Of more legal concern is a complaint charging Murray with breaking into a St. Louis home on September 5 and striking two victims, stealing a TV, and tasing a third victim. He allegedly returned to the residence on September 17 and attacked a man before whipping a female victim with a belt. Murray then “retrieved a broomstick and inserted it into [the woman’s] anus.”

    After victims identified Murray via a police photo lineup, he was arrested for robbery, burglary, assault, and sodomy. “The defendant was interviewed and admitted to all the crimes,” investigators reported in an arrest warrant filed yesterday.

    A judge has ordered Murray to be held without bond, ruling that the teen is a “danger to the crime victim, the community or another person.”

    After being arrested for leaving her two children alone yesterday in a locked, sweltering vehicle outside a Walmart store, a woman asked cops to turn up the air conditioning in the patrol car taking her to jail for child abuse, investigators report.

    Police say the victims--ages three and six--were “left in the vehicle without the engine running, windows closed, and parked in the sun on black asphalt,” according to criminal complaints which note the temperature outside the St. Petersburg, Florida store was 91 degrees.

    The children had been in the car for more than 20 minutes before fire and rescue personnel arrived. At that time, Nyakobo Mar, 30, returned to her auto and was subsequently arrested on a pair of felony child abuse counts. She was also charged with resisting, a misdemeanor, for allegedly struggling with cops who sought to handcuff her.

    Mar, police say, “did not show concern for" either child’s health,” but “did ask for air conditioner in the cruiser to be turned up for herself.”

    The children were transported to a local hospital for treatment. Child welfare officials were contacted since “there are no family or friends in the area.” Mar has recently resided in Minnesota.

    Seen above, Mar “did admit post-Miranda to this offense on video,” reported Officer Derrin Knoop. Mar, who is scheduled for a court appearance today, is being held in the county jail in lieu of $20,500 bond.

    A confrontation yesterday at a Family Dollar store resulted in the arrest of an armed man, records show.

    His weapon?

    A lollipop.

    Police say that Dalton Reed, 24, was in line waiting to check out at the convenience store in Clearwater, Florida when he got into a “verbal argument” with store manager David Johndrow.

    As the dispute escalated, Reed allegedly threw a lollipop at Johndrow, striking him the chest. Luckily, the lollipop lick “did not cause bodily harm,” according to an arrest affidavit.

    Reed was arrested for simple battery. Cops tacked on a possession of drug paraphernalia charge when a post-arrest search reportedly turned up a crack pipe in one of Reed’s pockets.

    No weapon was seized by Clearwater Police Department officers.

    Reed remains in the county lockup, where bond has been set at $650 on the two misdemeanor charges. Reed (pictured at left) has an extensive rap sheet, with convictions for grand theft, DUI, narcotics possession, loitering and prowling, and retail theft.

    A judge has ordered Reed to stay away from the Family Dollar (seen below) and have no contact with Johndrow.

    A man spotted driving a Power Wheels Jeep on an Indiana roadway was arrested for piloting the toy car while under the influence, police report.

    John McKee, 51, was pulled over around 9 PM Wednesday when an Indiana State Police trooper noticed him driving a blue Power Wheels without lights or reflectors.

    McKee was stopped near his home in Vincennes, a central Indiana city near the border with Illinois.

    Since McKee appeared impaired, the trooper administered field sobriety tests (most of which McKee reportedly failed). McKee, who agreed to a blood draw at a local hospital, told cops that he had pot and crystal meth in his system, according to a criminal complaint.

    McKee was released last night from custody after posting a $5000 bond on the felony rap, according to Knox County Sheriff’s Office records. His rap sheet includes numerous convictions, for crimes like trespass, possession of drug paraphernalia, marijuana possession, and criminal mischief.

    As for McKee's ride--which can top out at 5 mph unless modified--"Troy's Towing was contacted to take possession of the Power Wheels," a trooper reported.

    The latest McDonald’s cheeseburger attack comes from south Florida, where a cop has been accused of throwing fast food at his wife during a violent confrontation yesterday afternoon in their home.

    Investigators allege that an “irate” Andres Perez, 34, and his spouse had been arguing about “financial and infidelity issues” when the lawman “stormed into the kitchen in [his wife’s] direction throwing a McDonald’s cheeseburger at her.”

    Perez and the woman have been in a relationship for about eight years and have been “married for three years total and do share kids in common.” Charged with misdemeanor battery, Perez was booked into the county jail, where the above mug shot was taken.

    Perez, who bonded out of the Broward County jail today, is an officer with the Miami-Dade Police Department, which is headquartered about 25 miles south of Miramar.

    Rice should only be thrown at newlyweds, not strangers with whom you have beef.

    A South Carolina man is behind bars after his arrest last night for striking a woman with thrown cooked rice on a Myrtle Beach street.

    Police say Jaimes Encarnacion, 31, was collared Monday evening following the late-night incident. Seen at right, Encarnacion has been charged with misdemeanor assault & battery.

    Meet Anastazia Cretcher and Alexander Dillman.

    Cretcher, 19, and Dillman, 26, were arrested after lifeguards reported seeing them having sex “in front of families and other beach goers” Monday afternoon in Daytona Beach, cops say.   

    One lifeguard reported that Cretcher and Dillman had “intercourse for approximately 15 minutes” near his watch tower. The other lifeguard said that he “observed the male erect penis penetration the females’s vagina,” according to an arrest affidavit.

    Cretcher and Dillman left the beach after being contacted by one of the lifeguards. The pair was busted after a sheriff’s deputy encountered them at the top of a nearby stairwell “in complete nudity.”

    While Cretcher denied having sex on the sand, she reportedly said the pair “left the beach to find somewhere more private.”

    Both Cretcher and Dillman were charged with indecent exposure, a misdemeanor, and booked into the Volusia County jail (where they remain behind bars). Dillman was also charged with resisting arrest for allegedly refusing to get in a squad car.

    Cretcher is facing an aggravated battery count for an earlier incident Monday during which she allegedly struck a female acquaintance with a metal beach umbrella tube. The victim told cops that Cretcher--who is known as “Molly”--had “acted belligerent and exposed herself to beachgoers all day.”

    In May, Cretcher was arrested following a bloody altercation with a male friend at a Daytona Beach resort. The victim told cops that his relationship with Cretcher “has been of a sexual nature as they film adult videos together, however neither party views their relationship as dating.” The man claimed that Cretcher bit him in the groin and punched him in the head. While the bite “caused significant injury to his genitals,” the victim told police that he “did not believe it caused any permanent damage.”

    Battery and aggravated assault charges were dropped when prosecutors declined to pursue a case against Cretcher, who recently moved to Florida from her family’s Ohio home.

    An inebriated Florida Man was drinking a can of “Florida Man” beer when arrested Tuesday night for disorderly intoxication, police report.

    Seth Thomas, 39, allegedly was “yelling at traffic while walking in the roadway in front of traffic and refusing to stop” when he was collared by sheriff’s deputies on a street in Seminole, a city in the Tampa Bay area.

    Thomas, cops say, was drinking from a can of “Florida Man” at the time of his arrest. The beer, produced by the Tampa-based Cigar City Brewing, is a Double India Pale Ale that is “brewed with a nearly criminal amount of hops and a moderate bitterness that just about matches Florida Man’s general disposition.”

    Pictured above, Thomas was arrested for disorderly intoxication, a misdemeanor, and booked into the Pinellas County jail. He was released from custody last night after posting $100 bond.

    Thomas’s rap sheet includes recent convictions for obstructing police, trespassing, possession of open alcohol, and disorderly intoxication.

    An Oklahoma man is facing an indecent exposure charge after allegedly using AirDrop to send explicit photos of himself to employees at a real estate firm where he was applying for an apartment, court records show.

    Police say Staijeck Helm, 23, earlier this month used the AirDrop feature on his phone to transmit photos of his “private parts and of himself naked in front of a mirror,” according to a probable cause filing.

    Investigators described the alleged offense as “indecent exposure via digital means.”

    Helm, seen at right, went to a Tulsa realtor to apply for an apartment, cops say. An employee of the firm told police that they directed Helm to “sit at a computer for the application process.”

    While Helm was filling out the application, two workers received AirDrop notifications on their phones. “Curious as to what the contents were, they both accepted the AirDrop,” only to discover the naked selfies.

    Helm was arrested and booked into the county jail on the felony count. He was later released on $2000 bond and is scheduled for arraignment on June 20.

    It does not appear that Helm, who lives with his parents, got the desired apartment.

    Here is a tip for perverts everywhere:

    If you are planning to masturbate while watching a porno on your phone while at your apartment complex’s outdoor pool, do not connect your device to a Bluetooth speaker because amplified moaning will bring unwanted attention.

    Florida police were summoned to The Palms of Clearwater development Sunday night after a witness reported seeing a man “pull his pants down” and “begin to masturbate to a pornographic video on his personal cell phone.”

    Cops identified the accused masturbator as Christopher Harris, 51, a resident of The Palms, which describes itself as a “Mediterranean Oasis” only minutes from the Clearwater beaches.

    Harris, police noted in an arrest affidavit, “also connected the video to a Bluetooth speaker and began playing the video out loud as he masturbated.” Multiple officers responding to a 911 call observed Harris pleasuring himself by the pool (seen below).

    After being read his rights, Harris reportedly admitted to “playing with himself,” adding that when he is intoxicated he does “stupid things.”

    Seen above, Harris was arrested for exposure of sexual organs, a misdemeanor. He was released from the county jail Monday night on his own recognizance. Harris’s rap sheet includes convictions for criminal mischief and battery.
