April 2nd, 2009, 2:40 pm by jmiltimore

Authorities responded to an altercation early Wednesday after a 37-year-old Panama City man allegedly drew a weapon on a man sleeping with his wife.

According to a Bay County incident report, the man returned from a year and a-half of military service overseas and found his 32-year-old wife in bed with a naked 22-year-old man.

The wife of the man told deputies she woke to found her husband yelling. She said her husband retrieved a 9mm hand gun from the closet and tried to point the gun at her lover, but she prevented him from doing so by wrestling for the gun while the younger man fled.

Neither the man’s wife or her lover wished to pursue charges, the report said, and both refused to cooperate further with the investigation.

Criminal complaints of aggravated assault against the husband will be sent to the State Attorney’s Office for review, the report said, and the man’s 9mm handgun was secured as evidence.

March 17th, 2009, 8:37 pm by jmiltimore

An Alabama woman failed to access her condo’s gate key pad at an unfortunate time early Monday.

Authorities were called to Hibiscus by the Bay in reference to a hit-and-run vehicle at 5:10 a.m. where it appeared someone broke though the complex gate, according to a Bay County Sheriff’s Office incident report.     

A surveillance tape showed a light colored Honda arrive at the gate at 4:53 a.m. and a female driver attempt several times to access the gate without success, the report said. The video then showed the woman ”exit the vehicle, urinate next to the vehicle, and at 4:58 a.m. the vehicle began slowly pushing the gate open,” the report said.  

Photographs of the damage were taken and relevant parties were contacted. The manager informed authorities the condo typically seeks restitution for damages instead of criminal charges and the parties involved had agreed to pay for the damages. A declaration of intent was signed by Hibiscus by the Bay for the criminal mischief and the case was closed.

Two men allegedly found near a playground exposing their sexual organs were arrested Friday night.

Responding to a call of a suspicious vehicle parked near the playground of the McCall-Everett Park near the Deer Point Lake dam off U.S. 231, deputies found three men in a circle in a nearby wooded area, according to a Bay County Sheriff’s Office incident report. According to the report, two of the men were observed “fondling one another” while the third man observed.

One of the allegedly exposed men, who identified himself as a Sgt. with the Washington County Correctional Institute, said he walked into the woods to urinate, saw the other man and “one thing led to another.” The other allegedly exposed man told deputies he observed the man masturbating and joined in, the report said.

Two of the men were arrested on charges of exposure of sexual organs in public, the report said. The third man, who was not seen exposing himself and told deputies he “stopped to watch,” was cited for trespassing and released, according to the report.

He’s harassing me … Oh and he killed my kid’s father

March 7th, 2009, 6:44 pm by Brady Calhoun

A woman told Bay County Sheriff’s deputies that her ex, the father of two of her children, was harassing her. Then, almost as an afterthought, she told them that he killed a man in West Virginia, according to an incident report from the Bay County Sheriff’s Office. The man he killed was also a father of one of her children, the woman said. But it was OK because the slaying was ruled a justifiable homicide.

The woman said she was not worried that her ex was going to kill her even though he had been threatening her all day and has a license to carry a concealed firearm. Well, she wasn’t worried unless he mixed his Xanax and Lortab with alcohol. Then “something might set him off,” she told the deputies.

Deputies told the woman to get a restraining order against her ex and planned to do extra patrols in the neighborhood, according to the incident report.

Investigators cordoned off the Allison Avenue area Wednesday morning and went searching for the suspect but had no luck, officials said. The case is still under investigation.

Colon cleansing causes financial hardship

March 3rd, 2009, 11:37 am by Brady Calhoun

A Panama City woman ordered colon cleansing pills from GNC Inc. but after they arrived she discovered that the company planned to charge her an additional $89.31 unless she canceled the order, deputies with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office wrote in an incident report. The woman tried to cancel the order but the company put her on hold and would not speak to her, the report stated. After the charge went through the woman did not have enough money in her bank to cover several checks and was charged fees on her account.

The local bank allowed the woman to dispute the charges and the $89.31 bill but told her to get a report from the Sheriff’s Office. Deputies told the woman that there was little they could do to help her because she failed to cancel the agreement before the payment went through, according to the incident report.

March 2nd, 2009, 3:28 pm by jmiltimore

Some scenarios law officers just can’t be trained for, such as finding a bag of marijuana produced from the rectal area of a female recently engaged in coitus with another female.

Responding to a call of a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of the Dollar General Store on US 231 shortly before 1 a.m. Friday , deputies found two partially nude females, ages 24 and 20, engaged in sexual activity in a 2005 white Nissan.

After allowing the women to get dressed, Deputies observed multiple white pills in the vehicle, according to a Bay County Sheriff’s Office incident report. The 20-year-old woman told officers the pills, a generic form of Lower Tab Lortab, were hers and she did not have a prescription for them. The woman then confessed to having a baggie of marijuana, which she “retrieved…from her rectum.”

The woman was released and told to contact an investigator Monday. The marijuana was kept as evidence.
