PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — A man was arrested after deputies said he stabbed another man and then stole a woman's car on Monday.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said around 8:20 a.m., deputies responded to reports of the stabbing in the Gordon Drive area of Port Richey.
Deputies then responded to a carjacking in the Dauvin Court area of Port Richey around 8:30 a.m., which they linked to the same suspect of the stabbing.
According to PCSO, the suspect stole the woman's car and drove away, leading to a chase into Hillsborough County. The suspect then crashed the vehicle on the Suncoast Parkway near Ehrlich Road in Tampa.
Deputies said the suspect is in custody and was confirmed to be involved in both cases. The victim who was stabbed was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
PCSO added that additional victims from the pursuit did not report any injuries.
“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.
