Cookin and you are what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, right, he was the man, and of course Ozzy
Osbourne just before him passed away, I listened to a
little Ozzy Osbourne. He's a little hard for me. But
when I was a kid, I can remember I hung
out with some older people and used to listen to
Ozzy Osbourne through a speaker that was taller than than

But but I could tell you as I got older.
My mom really liked Ozzy Osbourne, and we watched the
Osbourne's This show when he was you know, on that
reality show, and I just was so tickled by him
as a person.

Just he was funny, he was he was a character.
And then of course THEO from the Cosby Show. I
grew up with him. He might have been a little
before you.

No, I actually remember Theo more than I do Ozzy
as my childhood because we watched The Huxtables Man, we
watched The Cosby Show in our in our house.
Speaker 2 (02:31):

(03:07):
to a massive man hunt. We're going to talk about that.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
We're gonna talk about that. And of course, the big
the big news of the week, I guess you could say,
was an attack at a walmart where eleven people were
stabbed before good Samaritans actually brought the incident to an end.
We're gonna definitely be discussing that and a bunch of
other stories today. So welcome to Crime Wire Weekly.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I'm Jim Chapman and I'm Kelly Jennings.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
You ready to get into it? And before we start,
y'all may notice Kelly sounds a little weird today.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Hey God gave me this voice, Jim No, I'm in Florida.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Had I brought my mic and my setup. I'm so
proud I was able to set it up like which
is a big deal for me.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Usually I walk in and Jimithy has it already for me,
but he's not in Florida, so.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm definitely not in Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
And I'm looking out right now off the balcony and
staring at the water and I'm having a good time.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Well, I'm looking out in the parking lot and there's
a bunch of cars and oh, well, Jim, you know,
we've got a lot of a lot of stories out
of Florida today. So we'll say you're on you are
on location. How about that?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, I'm on location.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Guys, you want me to start since I'm on location
reporting directly.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, there you go. All right, we'll get we'll get
into it today, and we're going to bring to Arkansas first,
all right, and we're going to talk about a manhunt
that was underway where sadly, there was a double murder
at a state park. So Clinton David Brink, who is
forty three, and Kristen Brink, who is forty one. They
(05:51):
were hiking with their two daughters. Their two daughters were
young nine and seven years old, at what's known as
Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas. They were attacked Saturday
afternoon with a knife with a knife mind you pretty
personal there. The girls were not injured and they are
(06:12):
safe with relatives now. Authorities were alerted about a double
homicide in that park on Saturday at about two forty pm.
The couple's bodies were found on a walking trail. The
area they were found in was described as very remote,
very rural, had rugged terrain, It had a lot of
(06:33):
thick vegetation in that area, and unfortunately there was no
cell phone service in that area of the park. It
has remained cordoned off ever since and secured by police.
The conditions of the bodies, they didn't disclose that. The
state crime lab, of course, will confirm the manner of
death and the cause of death. Now. The killer has
(06:56):
been described as a white male, medium bill wearing a
long sleep shirt, sleeves rolled up, dark pants, dark ball
cap and sunglasses. And you may say, damn, that's the
best description. Yeah, they know all that. Well, actually, there's
a picture of him. Somebody else that was hiking took
a picture of like the scenery, and he's in the
(07:18):
picture like Bigfoot. He's off in the distance, like he's faced. Well,
they zoomed in on it looked like the person was
right behind him. And he was looking out. That's the
only bad thing. He wasn't facing the person that took
the picture. Uh, but they did have, you know, a
good description of everything he was wearing. Obviously, he was
seen exiting the park in a black four door sedan,
(07:42):
may have been a mas Do with a license plate
covered by duct tape or electrical tape. The vehicle may
be in a may have been traveling near the state
the state park on Highway one seventy. So if you're
an Arkansas person, you know what that is.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And that's a right there. That pre planning was huge
with that.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, premeditated.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, absolutely, he just you.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Know, he just screwed up his whole defense of temporary insanity,
didn't yah done. You don't cover your freaking license plate
when you don't intend on doing something like that. So
authorities obviously asking anybody who took pictures of that park
that day to review them see if they sing anything.
The park's website said all the trails in the park
(08:25):
are closed until further notice for obvious reasons. And the
police did release a sketch and a picture of the
suspect that I just talked about, and I'm going to
put that on the Facebook page, So if you want
to see that, you're more than welcome to check that out.
And uh, Kelly, Yeah, an update on this case just
(08:46):
came through. Well, that was perfect through the crime wire.
If you will tell me a suspect has been arrested
in connection with that double homicide.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
James Andrew McGann, twenty eight, a teacher from Sproul, Arkansas,
was arrested last night and charged with two counts of
capital murder in the killing of that forty three year
old and forty one year old. Arkansas State Police just
announced this. McGahn was arrested shortly before five pm local
(09:24):
time while getting a haircut in school about thirty miles
north of that park. The official seven. McGann had recently
moved to the area from Oklahoma and had been hired
to work at a local school and when at what
was in janetor a teacher really was a teacher and
(09:47):
asked about a motive. Investigators decline to comment, saying the
case is still active and it would be premature to
do so. And incidentally, I didn't mention this earlier, but
the children in this case were not harmed, thank god.
The nine and seven year old were not killed, sadly
the parents were, but it could have been, I guess,
(10:08):
much worse. But thank god they have they have caught
someone for this.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Just look, I just I just looked up the picture too,
since you said that this mugshot.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Look y'all, you gotta put this look. I'm gonna shake
through the screen. This dude looks scary. Seriously, he looks disheveled.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, he's a teacher. I mean, he's a you know,
perfect not You wouldn't pick you wouldn't picture a teacher
to do something like this, Kelly, you were a teacher
killed two people on the state park.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Hell no.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
So obviously this guy was going through something that uh,
I guess it's called.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Going through evil.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
But the good news I guess too, if you're looking
at this from an investigative standpoint, was that even though
he covered the license plate, that in and of itself
makes him stand out. So if they're going to go
to the interstates and and and look and see possible cameras,
he's gonna's going to stick out like a sore thumb.
He's the only guy with a with a covered license plate.
So I'm assuming that probably was part of his downfall
(11:07):
was that what he thought would would keep him. I
would have changed a license plate.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I would have imagined once he got out of the
state park he pulled the tape off.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You think I'd be curious to know because he Well,
but if this was his first time kill, everyone always
thinks these killers think that they're going to do this,
slam him, thank you man, And it never goes quite
like they expected to. In that rush, and that overwhelming
of the kill people make mistakes like a coburger.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I mean, he dropped the whole damn sheath.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah. Well, and in this case, I'm sure he didn't
plan on someone taking a picture of his whole backside.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Somebody recognized that and probably turned him in. I would,
I would imagine.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And you're just doing something so so just wholesome. You're
hiking with your kids, and out of nowhere, some assailant
just decided decides to kill you, like.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Precisely the reason I don't go anywhere without packing. Yeah, hiking,
it don't matter when I look fifteen years ago, when
I was going to Disney World my kids, I was
packing because you could break down on the interstate. Yeah,
and you have to walk to a das station. You
think I'm going to do that without some sort of
defense against an attack.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I'm telling you, but this is like where you would think,
you know, you lower your guard. You're out in the
middle of nature. You're just on a hike with your children.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
And the biggest I know, I'm just saying that, but
in their minds, the biggest fear you have is that
maybe a bear or something might come out.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Of the That's right.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I mean, you don't expect it the predator to be
another human. And I know I don't know, but I
feel in my soul that they fought. Those parents fought
to make sure that their kids were okay. And I'd
be curious to know what the kids did. Did they
run and hide? Did they just run away?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
You know?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
How did this?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
And the kids are going to have a lot of answers,
I think whenever they talked to these babies and find out.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But Godly man, to be there when your parents are killed,
is that's a lot goodness gracious.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Well, let's go now to Florida, where I am on
location reporting directly to you the listeners, where four adults
are accused of holding nine children captive inside their Florida home,
locking them in cages, and spraying them with vinegar as punishment.
Husband and wife Brian and Jill Griffith, as well as
twenty one year old Dallen and nineteen year old Liberty Griffith,
(13:24):
were arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse in Columbia County, Florida.
The four adults are accused of locking the children inside
cages in their bedrooms, giving them non prescribed medication, and
not providing them adequate schooling, all while instructing them to
lie about what happens in their home. The children were
also forced to lie on the floor by their mother, Jill,
(13:45):
and having her place a sheet of plywood on top
of the child's body and pressing down on them, which
resulted in splinters and pain.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
When punishing the children.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Five of whom are the biological children of the couple,
but four were adopted, the adults would spray them in
the face with a vinegar.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
An investigation into the child of use happening to the
nine children, aged between seven and sixteen, stemmed from concerns
from a mandatory reporter at their local church. And this
is so important to be that these mandatory reporters we
listened to, and this case is so such a great
example of why, because in the days before their arrests,
one of the children was caught at the church camp
(14:25):
with a functioning electric stun gun. Additional concerns were raised
about the adopted children being treated unfairly compared to the
Griffith biological children. In addition to this, the children, some
of them, did not know their full name or their
own birthdays. According to the Sheriff's office.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
When authorities went to the home, they saw the adoptive
children working on chores while the biological children were playing
and watching television. Authorities then discovered the couple shared a
tenth foster child who was not present, but with their
biological parent in Arizona. A well being check concluded that
the that child was safe and healthy. When authorities began investigating,
(15:04):
the adopted children made additional accusations against the adults, including
that they were being beaten by a cane and locked
in their bedrooms by Brian and other adults. All nine
of the children have been court ordered to be removed
from the home, and all four were arrested and are
being held in the Columbia County Detention Facility on five
hundred thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Wow and yeah, wow, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
That's really horrible. And you may think, what's the deal
with vinegar? What would that do to you? Well, I
looked that up and it can cause a lot of problems.
You can actually get a corningal injury from being sprayed
in the eyes with vinegar.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I'm sure the acidity is of things.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Like hell according to chat GBT, yes, and it also
causes some pretty major blurred vision. It's no joke. And
when you're a child, it can roll affect you in heart.
It's like having razor blades in your eyes.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well, and anybody's curious, go spray yourself in the eyes
of vinegar.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It ain't no fun, No, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And don't really do that. We're kidding. Yeah, that's a joke,
choice saying eat te pods. We're joking here, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, don't do that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But so you think about the fact that they had
the custody of a total of ten children, and I
know that I always go negative with my thinking.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
That's just kind of how I'm wired here.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
But I'm wondering if this was a cash grab by
the state because they had their own kids, and they realized,
once we bring all these kids into our household, and
we're gonna start getting you know, assistance for these foster
kids or start getting funding, And I'm yeah, and then
you're gonna take these these kids that aren't yours, that
you're being trusted with to be the cared sound advice
(16:50):
for them while their families are going through whatever, you know,
loss of custody, and then you treat them this way.
How crazy The one of the children the only one
that's not in the whole and visiting their family, their
actual family is safe and accounted for and healthy.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, And I think it's you nailed right on the head.
I think it's obviously a cash grad because they weren't
doing this out of the goodness of their heart. They
they were torturing these kids, you know. They that's about
as fucking low as you can go. Yes, So they
were torturing them. The only reason they had these kids
was for the fact that you get paid the foster children, which,
(17:26):
when your heart's in the right place, you should. You're
taking on your financial responsibility and you want to encourage
good people to do something like that. But I think
in this case, it's just a parent. They didn't give
a shit about these kids. They wanted that money.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Yeah, and then to be forcing them to take medicine
that's not even theirs.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I mean, this is diabolic. This is on a lot.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
This is like almost like you know, well, I don't
even know if I should say this, but you know,
when they did the testing on the kids and Auschwitz
and all of that, and just to see what would
happen to them, you're just like force feeding these kids
medicine that's not theirs and then locking them up and
pressing them under it. It's like old school medieval torture
and when you would press people under rocks or plywood
(18:13):
like this is.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
This is more than just not letting the kids have
their freedom, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Like maybe they wouldn't let them go out and about
and didn't feel like taking.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Them to school, like they weren't even teaching them anything.
They didn't know their own name. The youngest kid had
said was what seven.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Yeah, I mean, really think about the level of the
of just nothing that was happening with these kids in
their lives, and then.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
The psychological impact this will have.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
My own family didn't have me and then I'm given
to people who supposed to take care of me.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
They don't take care of me.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
We're going to go to slide do All in Louisiana,
which is about an hour from where I'm recording anyway,
it's ten hours from where Caju, much.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Further away from this blue water I'm looking at.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, yeah, well we're going to go to slide l
and a slide ol woman was arrested and booked into
the East Battery s Parish prison after she allegedly bought
a Lamborghini and plastic surgery while receiving fraudulent medicaid benefits.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Tell me this bitch gotta bbl, Jim, tell.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Me, I don't know what a BBL is.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
It's a Brazilian butt lift. If you're getting a lambou Bro,
you're getting a fucking butt lift. Don't cut that out,
don't you do it?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Attorney General Les Murrill's office said this on Tuesday. Candace Taylor,
thirty five, is accused of underreporting her income to receive
medicaid benefits. The AG's office said Taylor was denied medicaid
in May of twenty nineteen after she applied under the
alias Candace sailor and reported her income as nineteen hundred
(19:46):
dollars bi weekly with no dependence. She then reapplied and
was approved in March of twenty twenty under the same misnomer,
claiming no income. This time she was also inconsi in
the years in which she claimed dependence. Quote. You don't
often see this level of abuse in the system. Someone
(20:07):
who would lie over and over again about her eligibility
and then go out and buy a Lamborghini in plastic surgery,
that's pretty fragrant, flagrant fraud, ag Lyz Muriel said. According
to the AG's office, arrest documents reported that Taylor made
over nine point five million dollars in multiple businesses between
(20:31):
January of twenty twenty in December of twenty twenty four.
The AG office said in that timeframe that Taylor recorded
multiple deposits over four hundred and maybe thousand dollars into
her bank account, made more than forty five thousand dollars
in vehicle payments to OUDI Finance, made multiple six figure
(20:53):
with draws via cashier's check to fund property purchases, bought
plastic surgery, hyattey and luxury services, and bought a twenty
twenty two Lamborghini Your Rice for more than one hundred
and thirteen thousand dollars. Taylor allegedly tried to renew her
tried to renew those Medicaid benefits in twenty twenty four,
(21:16):
just two months after buying the Lamborghini and claiming a
monthly income of only two thousand dollars on her application.
But she did find out she did leave out rather
that she was a business owner on that application. Quote.
We spend a lot of money on these programs, and
they're supposed to be helping people who cannot afford medical
(21:37):
care on their own. This is someone who was clearly
making a lot of money and could afford to obtain insurance.
Agents reportedly saw multiple and this is where they're getting
them these days. I love this. Multiple social media posts
of Taylor showing off her luxurious lifestyle, including that lamp bow.
(21:58):
AG Muriel said, I know you cannot buy a Lambeau
in plastic surgery while we're steven Medicaid benefit. At an investigation,
the AG's office arrested Taylor and slide Down on Monday
booked her into the ebr Parish Prison, which is no fun.
That place is kind of like a shithole in these
days for these government benefit frauds, and good for her.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Did you see her mugshot, Jill, Did you see her mugshot?
She's smirking.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah, she is straight up smirking in her mugshot photo.
Like this ought to piss you off, because you know,
I'm thinking about we.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
All pay so much in taxes.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Yeah, yeah, and I'm paying thousands of dollars a month
just for insurance in case shit happens in my household,
you know, in case you break a leg or whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
And I remember recently and this is just my.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Gripe, okay, personal gripe, because we were doing it last week.
My husband and I were sitting down. We're looking at
all the different plan off and we're basically playing gamble
with who's gonna get hurt and how, you know, in
our house, to determine what type of premiums we're gonna pay,
and do we think we're gonna go to the hospital
more or possibly just to save twenty dollars here or
thirty dollars there, because that's America, you know, where everyone
(23:15):
you want to save the most that you can, but
get the best coverage for your family.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And then this bitch is down here by a fucking lambo.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah good looking. Yeah, it's shocking. I've never seen anything
like this. I mean, this is about as disgusting as
you can get. This happens on smaller scales. Look, there's
some people out there. Maybe they lie a little bit
and that's never good on their medicaid applications, but I'm
(23:44):
quite sure that they're not depositing multiple half million dollars
deposit into their bank account. You just people that are
this fortunate. I don't personally come across as often where
they're cheating the system. So I hope they throw the
freaking book at this shick.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, and her shirt she's wearing this is a nothing.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It says basic on it in her mugshot. But you
are basic.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
If you thought for one second that you could you
have millions of dollars, and you were so selfish that
you won't even pay the premium for your own You
won't even pay your own medical bills. You're that selfish.
You had dumb bitch, Candace. Just if anyone knows, or
you can let her know, I.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Said that, and look, this is this is uh, you know,
it's comical, it's funny, but it is something where Seriously, man,
this is why, this is why insurance rates are so high.
This is why people who really need these benefits get scrutinized. Uh,
sometimes unfairly scrutinized because you got morons like this. It
(24:50):
just lights me up.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, and it grinds your gears grind. I'm pretty sure
is this her Facebook?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I just found I just this on a whim here,
But if it is, it says I'm not one in
a million, I'm once in a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah you're yeah, Yeah, I guess you are, because nobody's
that dumb.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
If this is really you can't Yeah, you're the only
one to try to pull that ship off and then
post pictures of your lamp bow.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Maybe maybe this too, is a prime example of of
what's going on in our culture, that it's all about
what you can show off to people and what you
have on the outside and not what's on the inside.
Because the most generous kind people I've ever met in
my life have been the most unfinancially fortunate people.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I mean that with all of my heart.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Just people, that's true. But I'm not gonna thirst shade it.
Someone who buys a lamb bow. I'm not gonna thurstad
as someone who has earned a good living and buy
that vehicle. That doesn't mean they necessarily want to show off,
but no.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
But when I'm when you're not paying your bent, when
you're wanting medicaid in combination with it, I.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Think that's where the separation becomes. Yeah, when you're robbing
the system.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
And we are the system.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
And that's what people miss sometimes, like young people just
from teaching, they'd say, yeah, well, I mean that's not
you know, that's tax dollars. That's not coming straight from me.
I'm like, you better go research where tax dollars come from.
Because you were the one robbed from here. You were
the one that was taken advantage of insurance, especially in
Louisiana too. Man.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Everything we've got is through the roof, is in cost.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh it's nuts. And when you have a big family,
I have a big family, five five person family, Yeah,
I pay five insurances, car insurances.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
It shocked people to know just what my car insurance is.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Well, and you have young young ones driving. I have
young ones driving too're.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
All under twenty five. And people might say, well, they
paying their own cars. Well, they're in college, and daddy
takes care of.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
That because you're the daddy and that's why.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, hey, look at us taking care of our kids
while we've got people all across the world that are
just doing crazy just so far and I don't know,
the norm is.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Not the norm anymore or whatever.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I know.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
All right, well, look, let's talk about a family that
was not having a good time. We're gonna go actually
stay in.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Florida again on location and I am but a sixty
nine year old Florida man allegedly murdered his wife's lover
after an argument and a flea market parking lot led
to a fatal shooting. Omar Renee Aguilla or Aguala, stands
accused of second degree murder in the shooting that occurred
on July twelfth at the North Side Shopping Center in Miami.
(27:23):
Aguiala's wife and the victim started having an affair in
twenty nineteen. He learned of the romance in April of
twenty twenty four and urged her to end the affair,
But two days before the shooting, the victim reportedly showed
up to Aguila's and his wife's home. The victim and
the suspect had a confrontation when that happened. On the
day of the shooting, Aguila was with his wife and
(27:44):
his son at a flea market when the victim dropped
off food to a friend. The victim tried to talk
to Aguila's wife before leaving, and according to the complaint,
Aguila went to the victim's car, where the two started arguing.
Within seconds, Aguala reportedly pulled out a gun and shot
the man several times, and surveillance video captured the.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Entire shooting as it went down.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Paramedics rushed the victim to the hospital, where doctors pronounced
him dead. Initially, though, cops let Agala go following the
shooting because he claimed self defense and said that the
victim had a gun in his car, but detectives allegedly
determined the victim was never armed afterwards, so Agala also
is a convicted felon and is prohibited from having a gun,
so in addition to murder, he's also facing a felon
(28:27):
in possession of a firearm charge. Agala was arrested and
remains at the Turner Guildford Knight Correctional Center without bond.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Man He's sixty nine year olds be wild and all right,
So I look it used to be when when you're
sixty nine years old, I mean, sex is the last
thing you're having, right yeah. And now with the I guess,
with the biagra and the costerone and the TRT replacements,
he's sixty nine year olds are getting it. I don't
(28:56):
know how old how old his wife was, but if
she was near his age, she got a six year
fair going on with some duty name freaking.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
All right, So in Florida, let me ask you this
real quick. Then the victim, and I'm not saying you
deserve to be murdered. I'm not saying that no one
deserves it, right.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That's right. I'm not making fun of that.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
But I kind of almost feel like the husband might
have a little bit of a gripe here that I
might would go, well.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I mean, the guy showed up to Not saying justified
a shooting.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I'm saying like it was flagrant and in his face,
and maybe the heat of the moment got to him
that day, because this guy went to his home just
a few days went to his house straight up having
an affair with his wife, and went to his house.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I mean, you better not play around with people.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Don't kill a guy.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I know, I know totally, but.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Good old fashioned fast whooping.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, you know, just I'm not I'm definitely not.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I'm not saying anyone should be shot, no one should
be murdered, but you don't play around with people in
their in their marriages.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
And well, that's right. I mean you expect, uh, you
better expect some sort of recourse. It may not be
I'm gonna get killed, but at a bare minium, you
better expect you're gonna have to throw hands with whoever
that dude's wife is at some point in time, because
it always gets everything in dark comes to white.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Yeah, well, and then to know that, you know, they
got already got in a fight a few days before.
Then they show up at this flea market, and then
the victim goes up and tries to talk to his
wife after they've already had a kind of confrontation about this.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
I just kind of I don't know this is gonna
play out. I don't think there'll be a first agree murder.
It's gonna be a second degree murder that they're gonna
they're gonna charge him with. But possibly I mean, I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I think they did charge him with second agree murder.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Well yeah, but I'm saying it fits here because I mean,
this guy was a little did have some culpability I
think in the in the argument and what kind of
was going down here.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
But we'll see.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
And personally, I think that if you're a good defense attorney,
you're gonna argue for manslaughter on this because it's going
to be a heat of the moment thing. Yeah, I
didn't intend to kill him. He set me off and
I was temporarily insane. I did. There's no proof of
planning here. He didn't hunt him down.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Unless there's like text messages that says if I see
you again, I'm gonna kill you.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Then they you know, that's where the state of tedious.
This is where it's gonna get tedious in court.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Be interesting, and we'll keep you hosted for sure.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
But one more thing, though, this guy's already a felon
and he's got a firearm.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
He's willing to break the law. He's now proven that.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
So I'm not saying I'm not saying he's a good
guy or a victim either. I'm just saying this one
will be interesting. To see kind of how it plays out.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Absolutely, and look, we're gonna stay in Florida. God, well,
I did that on purpose. I did that on purpose.
Faumid the Florida stories because I knew where you was. H.
I don't know if you're close to Lee County, but yeah,
(31:55):
you're at the beach. So floridaman is behind bars after
police says he tied up his friend, held him at home,
and robbed his bank account. In a Facebook post, the
Lee County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of Nicholas Flores,
who was thirty two, charged him with robbery, kidnapping, possession
(32:16):
of a controlled substance as well. According to police, Flores
met with a friend of his to discuss the latterman
buying a PlayStation five. The friend, who was not named
by police, went to Flora's home, and while he was there,
Flores allegedly retrieved a machete. Yeah, anytime anybody friend or
(32:40):
foe retrees a machete, you might want to start backing
off and lead.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of a flag.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
And so he retrieves that machete and he chokes the
other man until he's unconscious. So when the friend wakes up.
His wrist and legs were allegedly tied with zip tizes
and duct tate. Flores had left his friend while he
made several bank transactions, taking money from his friend's account
(33:09):
and putting it in his own. I have no idea
how he knew a pen number or anything. Doesn't say that,
but I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
He made him get it once he taped him up.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah. Police said that Flores allegedly kept his friend at
home at the home for hours. The friend was finally
able to escape the following morning while Flores was asleep.
The frid was brought to the hospital treated for non
life threatening injuries, and when police executed a search warrant
at Flora's home, they found the same materials allegedly used
(33:42):
to restrain his friend, as well as some yayo or
cocaine aga the ya yo and meth amphetamine. Flores was
arrested at his home. He was booked on charges of robbery,
kidnapping in possession, which I told you, and he's being
held without bond. Scheduled to be a raignment court on
(34:03):
August eleventh. All set up over a PlayStation file.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Yeah, and they better not They better not let this
sucker plea down something, because if you'll turn a friend
like that, if you'll do that to the people you're
supposed to be friends with, then what the hell will
you do to the rest of us that that I mean,
that's predator pray pray activities there. And then you're going
to bring along duct tape, tape this dude up and
(34:30):
not like.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And then to think that you could go home and
go to bed. You got a home man taped up.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
You know yesterday, I'm I was walking outside and there
was a caterpillar on my daughter's bag that was right
here by the door. And I stopped and I turned
around and I got the little caterpillar and I walked
outside and I released him on a plant. That's how
much I think of the damn caterpillar is that I
didn't want him get locked up and left inside where
he would die. And then we've got people out here
(35:05):
freaking robbing people over PlayStations and taping them up.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
We're a damn PlayStation.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Okay, Well, I ain't doing that with no caterpillar.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
I did killer, I did it. I ain't no no
caterpillar killer. I ain't no caterpillar killer. Not in these
not in this house. Look, so she got all the
damn drama in Florida and you're trying to freak me out.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
You know, my mom freaked my kids out because when
she when we're coming to Florida, she started sending them
articles about the shark attacks and videos from Shark Week
and shit, I'm like, Mom, could be not She said,
I just need them to know. I said, I'm with them.
You don't have to freak them out. That's what you're doing.
That's what you're doing with mirror right now. Well, let's
go to your neck of the woods then, okay, because
(35:46):
do you remember the ten in mates that of course
you do that got away, ran away, they broke out.
