    Using a fingerprint lifted off a Goldfish package, cops identified and arrested a man for hitting a female Family Dollar manager in the face with the crackers when she confronted him about stealing from the retailer.

    Cops allege that Michael Gonzalez, who is known as “Gizmo,” struck the 65-year-old victim after walking out of the Florida business with “approximately $50 worth of cleaning supplies and a box of Goldfish crackers.”

    The victim, cops say, approached Gonzalez as he handed the stolen goods to a passenger in a vehicle parked in front of the Gulfport store. Upon being challenged by the woman, Gonzalez, 29, allegedly “hit her in the face with the Goldfish crackers, causing a small cut” under her lip.

    Seen at right, Gonzalez was arrested yesterday for strong arm robbery, a felony, in connection with the September 2024 Goldfish incident. He was in custody Thursday for a prior alleged robbery during which he stole a skateboard from a man who he punched, bit, and stabbed in the face and head.

    Shown surveillance images from Family Dollar (pictured below), Gonzalez--who has several distinctive tattoos, including one between his eyes--reportedly admitted to cops he was the individual in the photos.

    “Throughout the interview,” police noted, Gonzalez “stated that this was petty and that he should just get time served.” A judge apparently disagreed with that analysis, setting Gonzalez’s bond at $30,000 for the two pending felony robbery cases.

    Locked up in the county jail, Gonzalez is familiar with such accommodations. His rap sheet includes convictions for theft; trespass; robbery; cocaine possession; disorderly conduct; and attempted armed robbery. In addition to various jail sentences, Gonzalez has served nearly two years in state prison, records show.

    With Valentine’s Day approaching, is there anything more romantic than having sex with your partner in broad daylight in front of a Wendy’s as motorists pass by on a busy highway?

    According to police, Demetria Wilson, 53, and Tymario Merrell, 29, were caught in the act Saturday afternoon in Clearwater, Florida.

    Officer Parker Moody reported spotting Wilson and Merrell laying on the ground “behind the bus stop in view of the busy highway.” The bus stop is in front of a Wendy’s restaurant and adjacent to U.S. Highway 19.

    Wilson, unencumbered by pants, was on her right side “with her buttocks facing” her partner. “Merrell’s pants were pulled down” and he was in a “turgid” state as he “repetitively” engaged with Wilson.

    The couple was busted and charged with performing an unnatural and lascivious act. Wilson and Merrell, both of whom have lengthy rap sheets, remain locked up in lieu of, respectively, $150 and $500 bond.

    They have each pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge.

    Police are scrambling to identify who poached about 100,000 organic eggs from a Pennsylvania protein producer.

    Cops estimated the “current” street value of the eggs at $40,000 (though that figure could increase based on skyrocketing prices).

    Investigators say Pete & Gerry’s Organic Eggs was victimized Saturday evening when one of its distribution trailers was burglarized. The eggs were swiped from outside the firm’s headquarters in Greencastle, a borough in the south-central part of the state.

    Pennsylvania State Police officials have asked the public to contact them with any information about the theft. Or who might be trying to fence 8333 dozen eggs.

    A 7-Eleven customer used a banana to batter a store clerk, according to Florida police.

    Caltaeviya Turner, 22, got into a “verbal altercation” with the 30-year-old female worker and the women exchanged “derogatory comments towards each other,” according to a police report.

    At one point, Turner “became irate” and “picked up a banana from the cashier counter and threw the banana at the victim’s face.”

    The airborne fruit struck the employee “on the cheek bone and left a minor abrasion,” investigators noted. The banana was not seized as evidence.

    Seen at right, Turner was arrested Thursday for battery and booked into the county jail on the misdemeanor count. Police records list Turner’s employer as Baby Dolls, a Clearwater gentleman’s club located four miles from the 7-Eleven outlet.

    Turner is being held without bond for violating probation in connection with a grand theft conviction in a neighboring county (Turner stole about $800 worth of merchandise from a Walmart store). Regarding that felony case, Turner has previously been cited for failing a pretrial intervention program, as well as for not performing 75 hours of community service or paying court fines.

    Turner was also recently arrested for resisting and giving cops a false name when they responded to a trespass call at Baby Dolls. She was free on $1000 bond in that case when she was collared for the alleged banana battery.

    Even in Key West, Florida, where some louche behavior is tolerated, you are going to get arrested for having sex at 4:20 AM on a sidewalk adjacent to the main road through town.

    Early Tuesday morning, cops were driving on a two-lane stretch of U.S. Route 1 when they spotted a woman “bent over” in front of a man who was “thrusting his hips back and forth” while the couple was situated in front of a pet grooming business.

    “The two subjects continued intercourse until I activated my emergency lights,” reported Officer Bryce Sonnichsen.

    In the glow of the cruiser’s cherry top, William Jeannot, 41, “put his penis back inside of his pants,” while Diane Clawson, 38, “put down her dress.” Clawson reportedly “was disheveled with her bodysuit undone.”

    Jeannot and Clawson were subsequently arrested for committing lascivious acts with another person in a public place. The duo was booked into the Monroe County jail on the misdemeanor charge and later released.

    While court and police records list Jeannot’s address as a Whitehall, Michigan residence, he recently began a job with a Key West yacht company, according to a post on his Facebook page. Clawson, who works as a server in Key West, lives in nearby Stock Island and is a licensed esthetician, or “facial specialist.”

    Jeannot and Clawson are scheduled for a January 31 arraignment.

    A drug counselor at a New York State rehab facility sold crack cocaine on “multiple occasions” to undercover agents, according to police who arrested the alleged dealer on felony narcotics charges.

    Acting on tips from the public, investigators began probing Alvin Lewis, 54, and subsequently identified him as a “narcotic and dangerous drug dealer” operating in Dutchess County towns about 80 miles north of New York City.

    On “multiple occasions,” Lewis sold crack to agents with the local prosecutor’s Drug Task Force, according to officials.

    While conducting surveillance of Lewis, police determined that he worked overnight hours as a counselor at Arms Acres, an in-patient rehabilitation clinic.

    Pictured above, Lewis was busted Tuesday evening while driving a few miles from his Wappingers Falls residence. Subsequent searches of his home and vehicles yielded “crack cocaine packaged and ready for sale,” investigators say.

    Lewis, who is being held without bail, is expected to face additional charges.

    An online search of credentialing records maintained by New York’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports returned no records under Lewis’s name.

    In today’s installment of the FAFO Chronicles:

    Adding injury to insult, a Louisiana man was walloped in the face after he shouted racial slurs at a group of Black victims and declared, “I hate n*ggers,” according to a police report.

    Officers arrested Clint Ferguson, 51, following a confrontation Sunday night in the parking lot of the Shoe Show in Monroe. 

    According to the victims, “who are black,” they were sitting in their car when Ferguson pulled up next to them, exited his ride, and began shouting racial slurs at the driver, a probable cause statement alleges.

    After declaring that, “I hate n*ggers,” Ferguson returned to his car and tried to drive away. His path, however, was blocked by the driver, who had called 911 and told Ferguson, “You are going to wait for the police.”

    Ferguson, cops allege, “drove around the victim and ran over the victim’s foot.” The victim “then punched Ferguson through the open driver window as Ferguson drove away.”

    Seen above with a fresh shiner, Ferguson later returned to the parking lot, but refused police orders to exit his car. Three officers eventually pulled Ferguson from the vehicle and handcuffed him. He was charged with aggravated battery, a felony, and misdemeanor hate crimes and resisting an officer counts.

    After Ferguson was treated at a local hospital “for his eye and nose where the victim hit him,” he was booked into the county jail, where he remains locked up in lieu of $50,000 bond.

    A Missouri motorist clocked going 107 mph told police that he was unaware he was speeding because he was preoccupied playing a video game while driving.

    Dakota Trevon Crater, 25, was pulled over Friday night on Interstate 35 in Claycomo, a village about 10 miles north of Kansas City.

    Crater was behind the wheel of a 2023 Nissan Sentra when cited for exceeding the posted 65 mph speed limit. Seen at right, Crater, cops say, was driving on a suspended license.

    Police say that Crater admitted playing a video game while driving. He is facing speeding and other vehicular charges, and is scheduled for an April 15 court appearance.

    Investigators did not quiz Crater as to what game he was playing while driving.

    A review of the Kansas City resident’s TikTok page shows that he is a devotee of “My Hero Ultra Rumble,” a 24-player battle royale. In October, Crater posted five clips showing his exploits in the free online game.

    A Donald Trump fan who refused last month to remove his “Make America Great Again” hat while at a Minnesota polling place was charged yesterday in a misdemeanor complaint.

    Police say Christopher Villwock, 34, was “wearing a hat displaying a logo/slogan of a candidate appearing on the ballot for the presidential election” when he showed up at a polling site on November 5.

    Villwock was repeatedly asked to remove his hat by polling supervisors and election judges, according to a December 17 court filing. Villwock “became confrontational and would not abide by the numerous requests to leave the polling place.” He “was eventually removed” by officers with the Mankato Police Department.

     A police review of surveillance footage showed Villwock ignoring election officials and “walking up to and questioning citizens who were attempting to vote at that time.” As a result of the disruption, a “long line of voters formed,” with officials being “forced to redirect voters away from the situation while simultaneously addressing Villwock.”

    Pictured in the above Facebook photo, Villwock was charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly violating the state’s fair campaign practices statute. The count carries a maximum penalty of $300.

    Villwock, who lives on Patriot Drive in Mankato, has posts on his Facebook page urging support for Republican candidates and detailing the supposed side effects of fluoridated water. Another post shows a handwritten sign declaring that, “All 3 letter agencies need to be defunded and to be abolished.”

    Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate, taught and coached football at Mankato West High School for a decade before leaving to run for Congress in 2006.

    After causing a three-car crash, a Colorado man--whose blood alcohol content was later measured at over four times the legal limit--explained to arresting officers that he was a “professional drinker,” according to an arrest report.

    Investigators busted Matthew Kampmann, a 34-year-old Denver resident, for driving under the influence, careless driving, and operating an uninsured vehicle following a Wednesday afternoon accident earlier this month.

    According to police, Kampmann (seen at right) plowed his 2000 Nissan Sentra into the rear of a Subaru stopped in traffic on a street in Wheat Ridge, a Denver suburb. The Subaru then lurched forward and hit a third car.

    When cops contacted Kampmann, he allegedly smelled of booze, had bloodshot eyes, and his speech was slurred. When one officer asked another if there was indication of drug use on Kampmann’s part, the suspect piped in: “No drugs man just just just a lot of drinking.”

    Kampmann would go on to explain that he was no amateur. “Matthew told me that he was a professional drinker while slurring his speech,” a cop noted. He later described himself as a “professional alcoholic” while preparing to take a breath test that would eventually record a .326 BAC (the state limit is .08).

    A search of Kampmann--who said he consumed 10 drinks--recovered an empty Jim Beam shooter in a pants pocket, while “numerous empty and full Jim Beam shooters and several empty Modelo beer cans” littered his car floorboards.

    Police later released Kampmann into the custody of his wife, who “was a sober driver.”

    In 2020, a Florida Man assured cops that, “I’m a professional drinker” after being pulled over for speeding. George Emmanuel, now 59, had a BAC nearly triple the .08 limit. Arrested for DUI, he later copped to a reduced charge of reckless driving and was sentenced to 12 months probation, ordered to perform 50 hours of community service, and “attend DUI school.”

    The Ohio woman charged with killing and eating a cat today pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and was sentenced to a year in jail, records show.

    Allexis Ferrell, 27, copped to the felony charge during a hearing in Stark County’s Court of Common Pleas.

    Ferrell was arrested in late-August after she killed the animal by "stomping its head then eating the cat" on the grounds of the Canton public housing complex where she resided. Ferrell has been locked up in the county jail on $100,000 bond since the incident.

    Police responding to a 911 call found Ferrell squatting next to the dead feline. She had blood on her feet and hands, and fur on her lips, cops reported. The pet’s owner has not been identified.

    “Did you eat that cat?” a cop asked Ferrell, according to police bodycam footage. “Why’d you kill it?” Ferrell remained mute as the officer contacted dispatch and asked, “Will you call the Humane Society to see if they’ll come pick this cat up? It’s deceased.”

    Ferrell’s case received national news coverage after some Donald Trump supporters pointed to the incident in light of the president-elect’s claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were eating cats and dogs owned by local residents.

    Canton is about 175 miles from Springfield. Ferrell, who is not of Haitian descent, was born in the U.S..

    Ferrell’s plea came after a competency hearing had been rescheduled for today. It does not appear that review occurred, though a judge had signed an order in October releasing her medical records.

    Ohio court records show that Ferrell, at the time of her August arrest, was on probation for a 2023 felony conviction for child endangerment. Her rap sheet also includes multiple theft convictions.

    Meet Mohammed Abdullah Alabilan.

    The 27-year-old Pennsylvania man was arrested yesterday on a petty theft charge for allegedly stealing a lap dance.

    Alabilan, cops say, “was buying a service” from a woman inside a Florida strip club when he “refused to pay the $40 service fee.” Seen above, Alabilan sought to leave the Reign nightclub in Clearwater without paying for the 2:45 AM private dance.

    A deputy collared Alabilan after being told by a club manager that the patron “had not paid the $40.”

    Charged with misdemeanor theft, Alabilan was booked into the county jail, from which he was released last night after posting, of course, $40 bond. A judge has ordered him to stay away from Reign, which features 55 televisions, three full-liquor bars, 30 private dance rooms, and several VIP suites.

    Alabilan, seen above, received a bachelor’s degree earlier this year from Alvernia University, a private Franciscan school in Reading, Pennsylvania.

    A Florida Man is behind bars after being charged with spaghetti a la battery, records show.

    Police say that Marquell Royal, 40, and his wife were arguing Sunday evening about Royal’s “abuse of alcohol” when the domestic dispute turned violent.

    Royal, who, cops report, appeared to be intoxicated, became “irate” and threw his bowl of spaghetti at his spouse of nine years. The noodles struck the 44-year-old woman on “the front of her body, on her stomach,” according to an arrest report.

    Upon arriving at the pair’s Largo residence, officers found the victim “covered in the spaghetti sauce.”

    Since Royal’s lengthy criminal history includes a 2018 conviction for battering his wife--with whom he has three children--he was charged with an enhanced felony battery count. His bond was set at $15,000 during a court hearing yesterday.

    Seen above, Royal remains locked up and has been ordered by a judge to have no contact with his wife. Royal’s rap sheet spans 20 years and includes 10 cocaine possession convictions, as well as other drug and firearms charges (for which he has served time in state prison).
