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.

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 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!”

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.
