Where is everyone this morning?  People taking a three day weekend?

Oh, I forget, this is just about everyone...

Maybe we need to let more Russian bots in.

It's gonna be a hot one.

Calling for heat index up to 108 today. Sheesh!

Dang, that's higher than here.  You northern pansies aren't used to it, so good luck.

Folks sure to be pretty irritable by Sunday.

I would not want to be an AC repairman up that way this weekend.

I just spent $650 on Monday getting the unit on my first floor repaired. Now the kids think it's too cold in the house. They obviously were in Europe too long.

A Villager with an intoxicated female passenger was arrested after erratically driving a golf cart at town square.

Daniel Kerr, 60, who lives in the Village of Piedmont, had been driving the black Yamaha golf cart at about 3 a.m. July 13 at Spanish Springs Town Square, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. During a traffic stop, a police officer confirmed that Kerr was wanted on a Lake County warrant charging him with violating his probation on a drug charge.

Kerr was taken into custody and booked at the Lake County Jail.

A 58-year-old Michigan woman who had been riding in the golf cart with Kerr was deemed to be too intoxicated to drive. The golf cart, which belongs to Kerr’s mother, was towed from the scene by Kling Towing.

Kerr had been placed on probation in April following his arrest in December with syringes and heroin in the Village of Pine Ridge. As part of his probation, he had been ordered to stay away from alcohol and illicit drugs. A warrant charging him with violating his parole had been issued June 27.

A Fruitland Park woman was arrested after she was caught behind the wheel of a car stolen from her mother three weeks earlier in Sumter County.

Carol Ann Rhom, 47, had been driving a red Chevy Impala at about 8 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of U.S. Hwy. 27/441 and County Road 466A when she was spotted by law enforcement, according to an arrest report from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. A check of the license plate confirmed the car had been reported stolen.

Rhom pulled into the Murphy gas station at 1801 Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd. in Leesburg, where she was filling up the car’s gas tank. That’s where a deputy made contact with her.

Rhom acknowledged the car belonged to her mother, but claimed she had permission to drive it. A deputy reminded Rhom that the vehicle had been reported stolen three weeks earlier. Rhom said she did not have access to a phone to call her mother and tell her she had the vehicle.

“The arrestee could not give a common sense answer for the fact that she did not return the vehicle back to her mother,” the deputy wrote in the arrest report.

Rhom was arrested on a charge of grand theft auto. She was booked on $3,000 bond at the Lake County Jail.

A Fruitland Park woman was jailed for the third time this year after causing a disturbance at her home.

Fruitland Park police were called at 5:38 p.m. Wednesday to the home of 57-year-old Elsie Mariotti, at 400 Pennsylvania Ave. She began creating a disturbance by “yelling and screaming profanity” at law enforcement officers, according to an arrest report.

“Elsie has a history of this type of behavior and law enforcement is called out to her residence often,” the arresting officer wrote in the report.

The Miami native was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct and booked at the Lake County Jail. Bond was set at $1,000.

Mariotti had been arrested in April after she tried to sic her pit bull on police officers.

She had also been arrested in January and spent nearly two months in jail when she was arrested on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and unlawful possession of a concealed handcuff key.

An 83-year-old bicyclist was transported by ambulance to Ocala Regional Medical Center after a collision with a golf cart near the entrance to the Village of Polo Ridge.

Villager Joseph Berthier had been riding a Via Montego bicycle at 6:01 a.m. Friday, traveling east on Southern Trace and attempting to make a left turn onto Oak Forest Drive, when he was struck by the driver’s side mirror of a 2015 Yamaha golf cart driven by 79-year-old Howard Edward Hall, of the Village of Calumet Grove, according to an accident report from the Florida Highway Patrol. The golf cart had been traveling southwest on Oak Forest Drive.

Berthier was ejected from the bicycle out onto the roadway. He was transported by Sumter EMS to the Ocala hospital. His bicycle had been equipped with a light, the report noted.

The FHP report indicated that Hall had been “inattentive” and had failed to yield the right of way.

Of course. I'm sure his brother was a jerk and deserved to be killed along with the countless others.

You're talking about a guy who once shot 38-under par for a round of golf. I trust him implicitly.
