A Florida Man who twice placed bodily fluids in the water mug of a female co-worker got off this week with a slap on the wrist when he was sentenced for his vile conduct.

Robert Tyson, 63, was placed on probation for one year and ordered to perform 250 hours of community service in connection with his no contest plea to a pair of misdemeanor battery charges, according to minutes of Tuesday’s sentencing hearing.

Pictured at right, Tyson, who was ordered to have no contact with the victim, must also take HIV and STD tests and undergo a mental evaluation.

Tyson was arrested last year after targeting a fellow employee with whom he clashed. Tyson worked with the woman at a dermatology clinic in Tallahassee (from which he was fired).

According to investigators, Tyson placed semen in a water mug used by the victim, who consumed some of the tainted liquid. The woman told police that as she was drinking from the mug, she “became aware of a distinct taste and smell” and “observed a white colored mucous substance floating atop the water.”

The victim also recalled an earlier instance when she “detected a strange taste” in her water and subsequently spotted a “white colored” substance atop the drink.

After the victim told supervisors about the incidents, Tyson sent a confession e-mail to the firm’s HR manager. Tyson wrote that he was “repulsed at the thought of my action,” adding that, “I put a couple of drops of semen in her water. Yes, semen. Why semen? Why put anything at all in there? I-DO-NOT-KNOW!!! I-JUST-DO-NOT-KNOW!!!”

Tyson went on to blame his actions on “exhaustion due to his work schedule,” according to a probable cause affidavit.

Health officials are encouraging patients of a Michigan doctor to consider HIV and hepatitis testing after state investigators charged that the physician reused rectal devices at his Kalamazoo-area clinics.

The state’s Department of Health and Human Services yesterday issued the testing guidance for patients of Dr. Roger Beyer, who owns Urological Solutions of Michigan and Women’s Health Care Specialists.

In a May 21 administrative complaint, the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs alleged that Beyer’s practices reused a “rectal pressure sensor” (seen above) despite the fact that the device is only approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for single-patient use.  

The disciplinary complaint against Beyer (pictured at right) states that three nurse practitioners told investigators that the rectal sensors were used on multiple patients.

One nurse estimated that “a sensor was used over 100 times before being replaced.” A second nurse said that the device “was cleaned occasionally and re-used on multiple patients” and that she was trained to place the device in a “non-latex glove before inserting it into the patient.”

The device’s manufacturer, Prometheus Group, includes a “warning in the packaging alerting practitioners that this device is meant for single-patient use,” the complaint notes.

The complaint charges Beyer with negligence, failing to conform to “minimal standards of acceptable, prevailing practice for the health professions,” and adulterating a medical device.

According to Beyer’s web site, he is “board certified in OB/GYN and Uro-Gynecology” and is “internationally recognized as an expert in the pelvic floor and is a highly regarded pelvic floor surgeon.”

A career criminal with multiple narcotics convictions on his rap sheet was wearing a shirt with “red lettering on the front that said ‘COKE’” when he sold four crack cocaine rocks to a Florida informant, according to an arrest affidavit.

Terry Leon Simmons, 53, was arrested Friday afternoon at his home in Fort Pierce on a felony cocaine sales charge. He was also hit with a second felony count after arresting officers spotted a marijuana joint and a bag of MDMA in plain view inside the residence.

Cops charge that Simmons sold crack cocaine to a confidential informant who pulled up outside of a convenience store a couple of blocks from the ex-con’s apartment.

At the time of the $40 transaction, Simmons was wearing a “two toned blue shirt with red lettering on the front that said ‘COKE’ on the front.” The affidavit does not indicate whether the lettering was in the style of the popular soft drink.

Seen above, Simmons is being held in the St. Lucie County jail in lieu of $55,000 bond.

According to court and prison records, Simmons has repeatedly been convicted of possessing, purchasing, and selling cocaine. Since 1991, Simmons has spent a total of nearly 17 years in Florida prisons (in addition to significant time spent in county jails). He was most recently released from the state system in February, after spending more than three years in custody for cocaine possession and tampering with evidence.

A Florida woman told police that she stabbed herself in the stomach with a kitchen knife because, “I’m tired of living in Trump’s country, I’m tired of Trump being president.”

Cops found the 46-year-old woman standing outside her residence in Palmetto Sunday, according to a police report. She had blood all over her legs, hands, and face, a cop noted.

When asked what was wrong, the woman lifted her shirt to reveal “three stab wounds on [her] stomach that were still bleeding.” She then told the patrolman she had “stabbed herself because she does not want to live in Trump’s country.”

The woman was subsequently transported by EMS workers to a local hospital “under trauma alert.”

After evaluating the woman, a cop concluded that there was a “substantial likelihood” that she “will cause bodily harm to herself and/or others.” As a result, the officer appears to have recommended that the woman be involuntarily admitted to a mental health treatment facility (per the state’s Baker Act).

The report states that the woman said she “has been Baker Acted before and has attempted to hurt herself in the past.”

Sorry, Toilet Snake, you have been replaced by Kitchen Alligator.

Police were called early this morning to a Clearwater, Florida residence after the homeowner reported that an 11-foor alligator broke into the condo via a ground-level window.

The 3 AM home invader was subsequently corralled by a trapper (but not before the alligator toppled furniture and broke a bottle of wine). Cops reported that there were no injuries during the incident.

The Clearwater home where the alligator briefly resided is adjacent to the 11th green at the Gary Player-designed Countryside Country Club. The hole includes a large lake from which the alligator may have emerged.

The wiseass who identified himself as “Ben Dover” when police found him in a Florida park after hours has been sentenced to pay a $500 fine in connection with his no contest plea to an obstruction charge, records show.

In November, a sheriff’s deputy got into a confrontation with a man whom he sought to remove from a park in a St. Petersburg suburb. Asked to identify himself, the suspect “responded by stating his name was ‘Ben Dover,’” the officer reported.

After giving the cop the finger, “Dover” got in the deputy’s face “as if he was going to hit him.” The suspect subsequently ran away, but was collared after a short chase.

“Dover” was, in fact, Andrew Leighton, 22. He was arrested for obstruction and resisting an officer.

In a plea deal this month, a County Court judge ordered Leighton to pay $500 in combined court and prosecution costs after he entered a no contest plea to a single misdemeanor charge.
