TAMPA, Fla. — A Tampa Walmart store located at 1505 N. Dale Mabry Highway was closed during a police investigation Saturday.
According to the Tampa Police Department (TPD), officers responded to the store around 1:39 p.m. after reports of an altercation inside the store between a vendor and other individuals.
Police said during an argument, one person pulled out a knife and cut another person.
One adult male was taken to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. Another adult male was arrested. TPD said that Jhustin ViloriaJimenez, 18, is charged with culpable negligence with actual injury.
The store has now reopened to the public. Detectives are still working to determine what lead up to the argument.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
