I wanted to start the thread with "A Florida Man, a Florida Woman and Florida D State R walk into a bar, "


Florida woman arrested after turning in estranged husband's gun a day after he tried to run her over: reports

A Florida woman was reportedly arrested after taking firearms from her estranged husband’s home to turn in to police, a day after he allegedly tried to run over her.

Courtney Irby, 32, was arrested last Saturday and charged with one count of armed burglary after an arrest affidavit said she showed up to the Lakeland Police Department station with guns belonging to her husband, Joseph Irby, just one day after he was arrested on a domestic battery charge, WKMG reported.

According to police, Irby admitted to entering her husband’s apartment without permission and taking the guns to the station over fears he “wasn’t going to turn them in” himself.

“I did not even know where the guns were located. I had to search around the apartment for them, so I could bring them to you,” she told police, according to Fox 23.

But the officer speaking to Irby reportedly responded: “So, are you telling me you committed an armed burglary?”

Police contacted Irby’s husband, who was being held at the Polk County Jail for the previous day’s incident, and he informed officers that he wanted to file charges against his wife, WKMG reported.

She was arrested and charged. The Lakeland Police Department did not immediately return Fox News’ request for comment.

The arrest affidavit revealed that the couple had finished a divorce hearing on June 14 when they got into an argument. While trying to leave the courthouse, Irby’s vehicle was allegedly rear-ended by her husband, who was attempting to run her off the road while she was on the phone with police.

Irby’s arrest has sparked public outcry from those criticizing law enforcement for arresting someone who seemed to be concerned with their own safety.

Democratic state Rep. Anna Eskamani said on Twitter that Irby “should not be prosecuted for protecting herself and her family.” She criticized the Lakeland Police Department for arresting someone “seeking help.”

If you want to try and draw credibility to you and your issue(s), involving Anna is not the way to do it. This woman borders on being as moronically stupid as AOC, she just doesn't open her mouth as much. And as for the 'law', 29 year old Anna doesn't give a rats ass about what the law is or says. If she can score a couple political points off this woman and the Lakeland PD, she's all over it.

Oh but Courtney is a wonderful person see here:

Her love for style, design, and philanthropy were leading contributing factors to begin her own fashion accessory company… that benefits orphan care ministries as well as provides custom products for individuals who are fundraising for philanthropic causes. She is passionate about telling stories through style as an artistic form of expression and finds great satisfaction in working within and for the Lakeland community,” the bio says.

There are no doubt some really dumb people here in Florida, then again you have these two freaking Morons - both of whom landed in jail for acting against the other.

Dadgum folks, you can't get along, execute the divorce like normal people do......then leave each the other the heck alone for the rest of your lives.

I had no idea who Anna Eskamani is. Google showed me this article in the Orlando Sentinel. They are falling all over themselves, telling us how wonderful she is.

Makes me want to puke.

I personally met Miss Anna at a charity fundraiser. The few minutes I spent speaking with her told me everything I needed to know about her. One, she has no principles and beliefs that cannot be bought. Two, she views government as the solution for every problem. And three (ties into 2), she's never met a public program she didn't love. She's what I call the 'millennial enemy' we need to stay focused on defeating at every turn.

You could almost have sympathy for her after he tried to run her off the road. Had she had enough brains to let LE do whatever they could and/or got her lawyer to advocate for her, one could respect that. What she did though, that’s just plain STOOPID! The two of them sound like they are almost smart enough to deserve each other.

And how can Hubby turn in his artillery if he is still in the jug?
Misery loves company.

Having apparently invented a powerful "stupid magnet," shouldn't Fla. start working on how to reverse the polarity?

Lakeland Florida - what a hot, flat, miserable area.

.....that look you have when you realize you just stumbled into the year's easiest felony case......

Apparently, she could have used that memo about "never talk to the po-leece"

It's not magnetism. It's geography and gravity. The geography: Florida has the lowest high point and 2nd lowest average elevation of any state. The gravity: shit rolls down hill.

Dpesn't Florida have a new "Red Flag" law? She should have availed herself of that.
