This Week In Florida

For those who follow the Oxford Krystal After Hours Podcast, you will know that we are huge fans of Florida, not the university rather the state.

One of our favorite pastimes on the show is to bring Florida and its residents into the public consciousness by typing "Florida Man" into a google search to see what treasures we will find. However, I don't want to earn the reputation of being sexist, so in today's installment of "This Week in Florida", we turn our attention to a "Florida Woman" search.

(Palm Beach Post) - A homeless woman in Central Florida set her boyfriend on fire because she was "mad at him for not providing her with drugs," according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office. 

At around 4 p.m. Saturday, Annie Harper, 41, allegedly doused her 34-year-old boyfriend's shorts with a fire accelerant at a homeless camp and then fled the scene on a bicycle, WKMG reports. 

Police responded to the homeless camp after several witnesses called 911 and said they heard screaming coming from the woods and saw a naked man arguing with Harper on the road, according to WKMG. One witness told police that they also saw Harper kick the man while he was on the ground. 

I like this move because sometimes you just can't trust the kerosene to do its job. Sure, it has done its job every previous time, but you never know if it's getting complacent and lazy. Sometimes you have to give it a swift kick to the ass, even when it is doing well. Football coaches always say the great ones want to be coached the hardest. I think kerosene is no different.

When paramedics and deputies arrived the victim told officers that Harper set him on fire and that they were living together in the woods. Deputies located Harper at a nearby convienence store and told authorities different accounts of the incident, including that her boyfriend set himself on fire.

She was arrested on charges of aggravated battery and the victim was sent to the hospital for burn injuries.
