Here’s another one –
MELBOURNE, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) – A 17-year-old female was arrested at 2:30 in the morning Saturday after police said she jumped through the window of a home on the 1600 block of Sycamore Street in Melbourne, according to her arrest report.
The residents of the home say they were terrified after following the incident. The arrest report states that the girl, covered in broken glass and blood, slapped one of the residents of the home, and then ran outside. When police arrived, the report says she charged the officer while screaming, "I am God, I am Satan!" The officer wrote that he backed up at first, but then Tasered her and took her into custody.
Melbourne Police say this behavior is indicative of someone high on "flakka," a relatively new synthetic designer drug that burst onto the scene in 2012 in South Florida.
"It is very bizarre behavior, and it does concern us," says Commander Danial Lynch of the Melbourne Police Department.
"When anyone gets in a situation like that where they really don’t know what they are doing and not thinking clearly, and becoming aggressive to police officers, it is definitely a concern for us."
Two weeks ago, Melbourne officers say they took down a suspected flakka drug dealer by the name of Tyler Reynolds Junior on Grant Street after he blew through a stop sign at Race and Horn streets. They say inside the 20-year-old’s vehicle they found 62 grams of flakka.
"It’s definitely not for consumption," said Lynch. "It’s someone who was trying to make a profit off of it."
Melbourne Police says the narcotics unit is teaming up with neighboring law enforcement agencies to get a jump on the dangerous drug, which users claim makes them feel superhuman, while engaging in extremely bizarre behavior.
Last month, Melbourne police arrested 41-year-old Kenneth Crowder for running naked down a Melbourne street and then humping a tree, all while screaming that he was God. When Melbourne cops Tasered him, he allegedly pulled the leads out of his skin and attacked officers. He was eventually arrested and taken to jail.
That first flakka buzz must be a damn good one cause folks are willing to do some stupid shit over it. :flippy: :wacked:
