A Villager dressed in festive holiday attire was arrested after an alleged drunken attack on her husband.
A Florida Highway Patrol trooper was dispatched at about 5:30 p.m. Monday to the altercation which was taking place near Mile Marker 293 on the Florida Turnpike in Lake County. A 911 call had been received from the husband of 54-year-old Gloria Joanne Miller of the Village of Osceola Hills indicating his wife was intoxicated and beating on the windows of their white Nissan Rogue.
When the trooper arrived, he spotted Miller, who was wearing a red shirt, Santa leggings and no shoes. She reportedly broke her husband’s glasses and had been locked out of the vehicle. She used profane language to describe her husband and said they had been heading to a Christmas party. She appeared to be intoxicated.
EMS personnel were summoned to the scene.
Miller’s husband had suffered a cut near his right eyebrow that was bleeding, according to the arrest report. He said they had been heading to a Christmas Party at Lake Ridge Winery in Clermont. He said when they arrived at the winery, no one was there and they must have had the wrong location. He said that is when his wife began screaming at him.
“My wife was drunk before we got to the winery,” he added.
After the winery mixup, he began driving again. She began hitting him and he “lost control of the vehicle many times.” He said she knocked off his glasses and he pulled to the side of the road. She got out of the vehicle, so he locked the doors and called 911.
The native New Yorker claimed her husband had “punched” her and she was trying to defend herself.
Miller, who stands 4 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 135 pounds, asked how she could have “beat up” her husband, who she said stands 6 feet tall.
Miller was initially taken to Orlando Health Blue Cedar. She was arrested on a charge of domestic battery and booked at the Lake County Jail. She was released after posting $500 bond.

Villager dressed in Santa leggings arrested after drunken attack on husband.Why are they questioning her being 4' 10" and 135? Those little ones are always the most dangerous! Especially the Italian, Greek or Spanish ones...

Today’s Highlight in History:
On Dec. 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as part of its plan to conquer Southeast Asian territories; the raid, which claimed some 2,400 American lives, prompted the United States to declare war against Japan the next day.
On this date:
In 43 B.C., Roman statesman and scholar Marcus Tullius Cicero was slain at the order of the Second Triumvirate.
In 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.
In 1796, electors chose John Adams to be the second president of the United States.
In 1909, in his State of the Union address, President William Howard Taft defended the decision to base U.S. naval operations in the Pacific at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, instead of in the Philippines.
In 1911, China abolished the requirement that men wear their hair in a queue, or ponytail.
In 1917, during World War I, the United States declared war on Austria-Hungary.
In 1972, America’s last moon mission to date was launched as Apollo 17 blasted off from Cape Canaveral. Imelda Marcos, wife of Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos, was stabbed and seriously wounded by an assailant who was shot dead by her bodyguards.
In 1982, convicted murderer Charlie Brooks Jr. became the first U.S. prisoner to be executed by injection, at a prison in Huntsville, Texas.
In 1987, 43 people were killed after a gunman aboard a Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner in California apparently opened fire on a fellow passenger, the pilots and himself, causing the plane to crash. Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev set foot on American soil for the first time, arriving for a Washington summit with President Ronald Reagan.
In 1988, a major earthquake in the Soviet Union devastated northern Armenia; official estimates put the death toll at 25-thousand.
In 2004, Hamid Karzai (HAH’-mihd KAHR’-zeye) was sworn in as Afghanistan’s first popularly elected president.
In 2017, Democratic Sen. Al Franken said he would resign after a series of sexual harassment allegations; he took a parting shot at President Donald Trump, describing him as “a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault.” Republican Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona said he would resign, after revealing that he discussed surrogacy with two female staffers.

Five years ago: Six prisoners held for 12 years at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, arrived in Uruguay amid a new push by President Barack Obama to close the U.S. prison. Britain’s Prince William and his wife, Catherine, arrived in New York City on their first official visit to the U.S. Ken Weatherwax, who’d played Pugsley on “The Addams Family” television series in the 1960s, was found dead at his home in Box Canyon, California; he was 59.
One year ago: The man who drove his car into counterprotesters at a 2017 white nationalist rally in Virginia was convicted of first-degree murder; a state jury rejected defense arguments that James Alex Fields Jr. acted in self-defense. President Donald Trump announced that he would nominate William Barr to succeed Jeff Sessions as attorney general. (Barr would be confirmed and sworn-in in February.) Trump said he would nominate State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert to be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. (Nauert withdrew from consideration two months later; congressional aides said she would have faced tough Senate questions about her relative lack of foreign policy experience.) Kendrick Lamar picked up a leading eight Grammy nominations, including seven for his musical companion to the hit film “Black Panther.”

Thought for Today: “O tempora! O mores!” (Oh the times! Oh the customs!) [–] Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 B.C.-43 B.C.).My first thought was tempura and s'mores. I thought, that's an interesting combo. But probably because I didn't have reading glasses on and I'm hungry.

they close off 3 of 5 lanes of the SR 19/98 through Crystal River, coning off north bound lanes to two way traffic for a few hours. quite the cluster fuck if you don't know your way around the parade route, and of course most snowbidiots don't know what's going on so there's that excitement in addition to the parade.Luckily it's a 10 minute walk to downtown for us, so no parking hassles.
