What started as an argument between a boyfriend and girlfriend, quickly ended in a call to Collier County police after the boyfriend claimed that his girlfriend had physically attacked him. According to the man, he claims they were arguing over money, but according to the accused woman, something entirely different happened.

According to the 37-year-old girlfriend, the argument began shortly after her boyfriend got up and passed by her on his way to the kitchen. She says that as he passed, he purposefully farted in her face and walked away. Angry, she says she went into the kitchen and confronted him. Moments later, police were dispatched to the residence where the boyfriend claimed she used physical violence against him.

It may seem like the only option at the time, but fleeing from authorities often only leads to additional charges and more hefty penalties. An Orange County man is facing a number of criminal charges after leading police on a chase.

The 47-year-old man in this case is an alleged drug dealer. He fled from police in Orlando, but authorities pursued him. At one point, stop sticks were used to try to end the chase. Although three of his vehicle's tires were deflated, he continued to flee. Eventually, authorities physically hit the back of his car. The vehicle then went into a ditch.

Theft charges are quite serious. A person who is convicted of theft could face stiff penalties. In addition, an individual's reputation could suffer irreparable damage, making it difficult to find future employment.

A Florida woman was recently charged with scheming to defraud and grand theft, both of which are felonies. Authorities claim the 45-year-old woman stole $50,000 from a professional group in the state called Oncology Managers of Florida. The woman served as the treasurer for the group until last month when she was fired. She had served on the board of the organization for close to a decade.

In 2006, Florida authorities received a tip that a man was growing marijuana inside his home. A detective brought a trained police dog to the residence. After smelling near the front door, the dog indicated that drugs were likely present in the home. Police obtained a search warrant and found a large amount of marijuana inside the home.

Five years later, the Florida Supreme Court determined that the initial search outside the home was unconstitutional because the police officer did not have a warrant when he brought the trained dog to the property. The evidence found inside the man's home was thrown out.
