What the Hell Theater - 7/11

Authorities in Lehigh Acres, Florida, said a fleeing suspect was chased down and apprehended by a deputy driving a borrowed golf cart. Deputy Richard Williamson responded to a report of domestic battery Tuesday and the suspect, Jeremiah Ellarius Haynes, fled on foot. Williamson chased the suspect to a nearby gated community, where a resident at the gate loaned the deputy a golf cart. Williamson caught up to Haynes and used his Taser to stun the man when he attempted to flee again. Haynes, who had led the deputy on a 1.8 mile chase, was taken to jail on charges of battery and resisting an officer without violence.

A Lecanto, Florida, woman said her collection of 619 flamingo-related items has earned her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. Sherry Knight said she has been collecting flamingo paraphernalia for years and recently received the news that she is a Guinness World Record holder. Knight, who works for a Path Thrift Store associated with a rescue shelter, said she is hoping to use her fame from the record to draw attention to the issue of homelessness.
