ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A woman was arrested after she drove a vehicle into the water outside of the St. Petersburg Yacht Club early Monday morning.
The St. Petersburg Police Department said the vehicle traveled east through the intersection of Central Avenue and Bayshore Drive NE before going into the water around 2:30 a.m.
The driver, later identified as 29-year-old Cassandra Kaiser, was able to escape and swim to shore. Police arrested Kaiser, and she was charged with driving under the influence.
There are no other details available at this time.
“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.
