Florida police chief hopes reminder to criminals on armed homeowners will deter crime
Florida Police Chief Gregory Goreck issues a warning to burglars after a homeowner shoots an intruder.
A Florida man allegedly bit off the head of a pet snake during a domestic dispute, police say.
Miami-Dade police officers responded to an apartment complex after receiving a report of a couple arguing. Upon arrival, officers heard a fight between the man and woman inside the apartment, according to CBS Miami.
After multiple commands from officers instructing people inside the apartment to open the door, police kicked it in when they heard a woman scream inside. The man, identified as 32-year-old Kevin Mayorga, hid behind a door when officers entered the apartment.

While police attempted to arrest Mayorga, officials say that he resisted, even striking an officer in the face with an arm that was handcuffed. Officers eventually placed the man in leg restraints because he kept resisting when officers attempted to arrest him, police say.
