    Meet Destiny Simmone Morris.

    The 18-year-old is jailed on a felony charge after allegedly battering her 65-year-old boyfriend during a confrontation Sunday evening in their Florida residence.

    Police responded to the home after an unknown 911 caller reported that, “an elderly male was being beaten up.”

    According to cops, the victim said Morris “pulled his hair, punched him in the ribs and head, and threw him to the ground.” The alleged attack occurred inside the couple’s Clearwater home and in the property’s front yard, a criminal complaint reports.

    The victim, who “had an obvious laceration/abrasion to his left arm which was bleeding,” told police that he and Morris had been together for about four months and are “in an active romantic/sexual relationship.”

    Morris, seen above, reportedly made “spontaneous statements admitting to hitting the victim,” cops say.

    Charged with battery on a person aged 65 or older, Morris was booked into the county jail, where she is being held in lieu of $2500 bond. A judge has ordered Morris to have no contact with the victim. The teenager--who was convicted earlier this year of disorderly intoxication--has also been directed to stay away from the man’s home.

    A Florida Man slapped his girlfriend in the face with a slice of pizza during an argument in their residence, according to cops who reported that the alleged crime scene was sauce splattered.

    Police were dispatched Friday afternoon to a residence in Marion County in response to a “911 hang-up.” Upon arriving at the home, officers encountered Ortelio Alfonso, 39, who said he had a “verbal altercation” with the victim, according to a probable cause affidavit.

    The woman, however, said the dispute turned violent, telling officers that Alfonso “grabbed a slice of pizza and slapped her in the left side of her face with it.” The woman said the couple had been arguing about the disciplining of their son.

    A cop noted that the woman had pizza sauce all over her shirt and the “remnants of pizza in her hair and ear area.” Additionally, the officer reported, “I observed there to be pizza sauce on the walls and the ceiling of the kitchen area which further corroborated the victim’s statement.”

    After being handcuffed and read his rights, Alfonso reportedly admitted striking the victim “with the slice of pizza in the face,” adding that he threw the pizza and “did not physically strike the victim with his hands, just with the pizza.”

    Pictured above, Alfonso was arrested on a misdemeanor battery count and booked into the county jail (from which he was released Saturday). Alfonso, who works for a landscaping firm and lives in an Ocala suburb, is scheduled for arraignment on March 29.

    Meet Richard Quick.

    According to police, the 47-year-old Floridian was recently spotted walking into an Orlando roadway and “engaging with passing cars.” After initially ignoring demands that he show cops his hands and get on the ground, Quick was handcuffed and searched.

    Officers reported finding a pair of knives and a crack pipe in Quick’s pants pockets. As a result, he was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and carrying a concealed weapon. Quick also faces a resisting police count.

    Quick is being held in the Orange County jail in lieu of $3000 on the three misdemeanors.

    While an arrest affidavit refers to Quick’s “face paint,” the document offers no insight into how or why the defendant was so pink. Quick’s rap sheet includes convictions for disorderly conduct, trespassing, battery, and theft.

    A Florida Woman battered a convenience store clerk with a pair of Slim Jim beef sticks after being accused of shoplifting, police say.

    Cops allege that Kacey Breazeale, 40, was confronted Monday afternoon by the female victim at the exit doors to the store, which is adjacent to a Citgo gas station.

    Breazeale “pushed the victim to get past” and then struck the 34-year-old clerk “with 2 Slim Jim beef sticks she was stealing,” reported Officer Joshua Kokaisel of the Pinellas Park Police Department.

    The clerk was not injured in the Slim Jim attack (and police did not seize the beef sticks as evidence). Seen at right, Breazeale reportedly admitted to the battery after being read her rights.

    Charged with battery, theft, and resisting a merchant, Breazeale is being held in the county jail in lieu of $2650 bond.

    Breazeale, who is alternately described as a transient and a St. Petersburg resident in court records, has a lengthy rap sheet that includes several state prison stays and convictions for cocaine possession, burglary, trafficking in stolen property, and theft.

    A 19-year-old motorist who admitted driving his Honda 120 mph on an Iowa interstate told cops that he floored the vehicle last night “because a good song came on his stereo,” according to a court complaint.

    After a witness called 911 to report a reckless driver was speeding and “swerving all over the road” a sheriff’s deputy spotted the suspect vehicle as it flew past him at 100 mph around 9:15 PM.

    When the car was subsequently pulled over more than two miles up Interstate 380, driver Nicholas Bernard reportedly “admitted to going 120 mph at one point.” Bernard, seen at right, explained that he reached the top speed “because a good song came on” the stereo in his 2006 Honda Accord EX.

    Bernard was only facing a speeding citation when he opened the glovebox to retrieve registration and insurance records. But then a deputy spotted a “large amount of marijuana” in plain view in the compartment. A subsequent search of the vehicle turned up a smoking pipe and other drug paraphernalia, cops report.

    Bernard was charged with a pair of misdemeanor drug counts and booked into the Johnson County jail, from which he was released this morning.

    As store surveillance cameras recorded his felonious activity, a brazen shoplifter strolled out of a Burlington store in Florida on Black Friday with sacks of stolen goods and an array of purses and handbags that were daisy-chained and dragged out of the business.

    As first reported by WPLG, police in Hialeah, a city 10 miles from Miami, are hunting the thief, whose face, forearm tattoo, and vehicle were clearly recorded by store security cameras.

    Sergeant Jose Torres said that investigators are “currently in the process of identifying this individual,” though an arrest has yet to be made in connection with the 8 PM heist on November 25.

    It is unclear whether the male thief had accomplices.

    As he fled the department store with the $5000 in stolen loot, the man passed a sign intended for departing shoppers: “See you soon for your next treasure hunt!”

    During an argument early Thanksgiving morning, a Florida Man threw a sex toy at his girlfriend, leaving the woman with a bruise on her torso, according to cops who noted that they did not confiscate the weapon used in the alleged domestic battery.

    Investigators say Christopher Pacitto, 45, and the 33-year-old victim were inside a room at the Sun Island Motel in St. Petersburg around 4:40 AM when a verbal argument turned violent.

    According to an arrest affidavit, Pacitto was packing his suitcase to leave the room when he “began throwing the victim’s items” out of the luggage. “During the process,” the woman told police, Pacitto (seen at right) “hit her with a sex toy on her torso, leaving a bruise.”

    When questioned by cops, Pacitto reportedly “admitted to throwing items but does not recall exactly what items.” The sex toy in question is not further described in the court affidavit.

    The 6’ 2”, 300-pound Pacitto--who cops say was under the influence of alcohol--was arrested for domestic battery. He bonded out of jail Friday after posting $1000 bond in the misdemeanor case. A judge has ordered him to have no contact with the victim.

    Pacitto, a professional engineer, lives in Fort Myers, a city about 110 miles south of St. Petersburg.

    After being arrested for stealing a wallet that a patron mistakenly left on a Waffle House counter, Kwanita Morton reportedly confessed to the theft and gave cops an explanation for her actions.

    “The money was calling to me,” Morton declared.

    According to Florida police, the victim paid their Waffle House tab early Monday morning, but “forgot their wallet on the counter.” The wallet contained credit cards and $2286 in cash.

    As recorded by a security camera, the 47-year-old Morton “was seen on video looking around, putting her hat on top of the victim’s wallet on the counter.” She then slid the hat and wallet into her hands “with discretion.”

    Morton then “quickly leaves the establishment while her husband and child are left inside the restaurant to pay.” Morton, who works at a nursing home, lives about eight miles from the Waffle House in St. Petersburg.

    Aided by the security footage, police subsequently identified Morton as the theft suspect. During questioning, police report, Morton admitted to swiping the wallet, claiming, “The money was calling to me.”

    Seen above, Morton was arrested on a felony grand theft charge and booked into the county jail. She was released from custody early yesterday after posting $2000 bond.

    Morton’s rap sheet includes four separate misdemeanor theft convictions.

    For some unexplained reason, a wanted man was covered head-to-toe in black paint when California cops apprehended him last week.

    Investigators had been looking to arrest Rufus Barron, 35, on an outstanding warrant when his mother called police to report that her son was asleep in her home in Madera, a city in central California.

    When officers arrived at the residence around 1:30 AM on Tuesday, they discovered Barron, seen above, coated in black paint. Barron would not say how he came to be so covered, according to Madera Police Chief Dino Lawson.

    A search of Barron turned up a glass smoking pipe containing methamphetamine. Cops suspected that Barron had been on a “meth bender” (which could have prompted the paint application).

    Barron is being held in the county jail on multiple charges, including possession of a controlled substance, violating parole, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

    The use of certain drugs can cause constricted pupils, which might explain the pinpoint peepers on Dalaih Aixa McMullen.

    Or maybe she just wears scary contact lenses.

    The 45-year-old Floridian was collared last month after a car she was driving was pulled over at 10 PM by cops in Orlando, where McMullen resides.

    A search of McMullen’s purse located multiple baggies containing an “off-white/tan rock-like substance” that police identified as the stimulant MDMA. Another bag of “Molly” was discovered inside McMullen’s bra. Additionally, cops say, McMullen also handed over a baggie of marijuana.

    McMullen, seen above, was arrested on a felony narcotics possession charge and a misdemeanor pot rap. She was freed from custody after posting $1100 bond.

    10/17 UPDATE: Austin Smith, 20, was arrested Saturday for giving the 10-year-old a permanent tattoo. Charged with endangering the welfare of a child and a second misdemeanor, Smith was released from custody on a desk appearance ticket and is scheduled for a November 3 hearing in Town Court.

    A New York woman has been arrested for allowing her 10-year-old son to get a large tattoo across his forearm, artwork that was spotted by a school employee who reported the illegal ink to law enforcement.

    Police this month busted Crystal Thomas, 33, for endangering the welfare of a child. She was booked on the misdemeanor charge and released from custody on a Town Court appearance ticket.

    Thomas’s son was placed in the custody of child protective services officials.

    According to police, the boy was tattooed inside a room at the hotel where Thomas and her two children reside. The Ulster County hotel is about 100 miles north of New York City.

    Before inking the boy, police say, the tattoo artist got permission from Thomas. The resulting tattoo--the boy’s name in “full-size block letters”--was inked across the child’s forearm, said Chief James Janso of the Town of Lloyd Police.

    The tattoo is large enough that “you would need a sleeve to cover it up,” said Janso.

    Officials learned of the tattoo earlier this month when the boy asked the nurse at his middle school to apply Vaseline atop the fresh ink, Janso told TSG.

    Janso described the tattoo artist as a “person of interest” who could face charges including tattooing a minor and endangering the welfare of a child. The whereabouts of the male suspect are currently unknown, said Janso.

    Thomas is pictured above in a photo from her Facebook page.
