FLORIDA: A terrible shot in the groin! We learn that a Florida man could be jailed for accidentally shooting himself in the penis. Cedrick Jelks, 38, of Jacksonville, ran to the bathroom of a stranger’s home after he sat on his gun in his car and the gun went off. The homeowner followed Jelks, saw that he was wounded, and took him to a hospital where he underwent surgery. Jelks, we learn, may now face some jail time for the possession of a firearm because of his 2004 felony conviction for cocaine possession. Convicted felons are not allowed to carry or own firearms.
FLORIDA: UGH! From butt to mouth! A woman charged with heroin possession gained more charges when jailers found a bag of meth in her butt, according to authorities.

Another charge was added.
FLORIDA: Fake it until you make it – NOT! A man pretending to be a police officer was arrested when he tried to pull over a woman – who turned out to be a real-life police officer.

Fallat, who was driving an unmarked police car, promptly charged him with impersonating an officer and false arrest.

FLORIDA: Hotsie Totsie irony… A woman was arrested for allegedly leaving her child in a hot car – then complained the entire way to jail that she was too hot. Colleen Walker, 30, left her 5-year-old in a hot, locked car while she shopped for 30 minutes, according to surveillance videos in the store. “Walker was complaining that the back seat of our patrol car was too hot on her way to jail, and asked the officer to turn the A/C up,” said South Daytona police Lt Dan Dietrich. Irony at its best.
