PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla — A Trinity man was arrested for attempted homicide for an alleged attack on his ex-girlfriend.
St. Petersburg Police (SPPD) said they arrested Peter Guirguis, 27, and charged him with attempted first-degree homicide and aggravated stalking.
Guirguis allegedly went to his ex-girlfriend's house at the Gateway Isles Apartments in St. Petersburg on May 10 around 1:45 a.m. SPPD said he then attacked her in the parking lot and was hospitalized.
The couple has a history of domestic violence, and the victim had an active injunction against Guirguis, SPPD said.
Police said they worked for days to gather evidence and were able to arrest Guirguis at his home in Trinity.
He will be transferred from Pasco County Jail to Pinellas County Jail to face charges.
“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.
