»  Comments | Post a Comment

A sex offender was arrested for violating his probation after he was caught in a graveyard after his curfew looking for ghosts.
The suspect, Justin Wright, and four others were seen by a deputy driving two vehicles into Spring Hill Cemetery on Fort Dade Avenue near 1 a.m. on Sunday.
The deputy followed them into the graveyard and spoke with the quartet, who told him they were looking for ghosts in the supposedly haunted location. A background check of the four revealed that Wright was a registered sex offender and was supposed to be home between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., according to a report.
Wright was charged with violation of probation, a felony.
Boy, 11, struck in head by uncle
SPRING HILL Deputies charged a Spring Hill man with child abuse on Saturday after they say he slapped his 10-year-old nephew in the head.
The alleged victim told deputies that he was hiding in the woods because his uncle, Matthew Ortiz, and his friends were trying to shoot him with a BB gun. He sent two text messages to his father, who instructed him to return home.
When the 11-year-old emerged from the woods, Ortiz, who had been searching for him, slapped him in the face and buttocks, according to a report.
The deputy noted in his report that the victim had the beginning stages of a bruise on his right eye.
Ortiz told the deputy that he was searching for the victim for 30 minutes and struck him out of "fear and frustration," the report states.
Ortiz, 22, was charged with child abuse.
