TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. — One person was injured during an attempted burglary in Pinellas County early Tuesday morning.

The Tarpon Springs Police Department said around 12:43 a.m., officers responded to the 100 block of West Lime Street after receiving a 911 call about the burglary.

When they arrived, they made contact with the two people involved, who know each other. Police said one person was shot and treated at a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police are still investigating, but said there is no threat to the public.

“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.
