FROSTPROOF, Fla. — A 15-year-old and a 16-year-old have been arrested for the shooting death of a man in Frostproof.
During a press conference on Monday, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said a 16-year-old suspect "went on an app" and ordered marijuana from the 22-year-old victim.
When the victim drove down Washington Terrace around 5 p.m., he pulled up to the two teenagers. According to PCSO, after talking for a few minutes, one of the suspects pulled out a gun and shot the victim, who attempted to return fire.
The car then drifted down half a block before it ran into the edge of the road and stopped. Deputies said the victim had a baggie of marijuana clutched in his hand when he was found dead.
The 15-year-old was taken into custody by deputies and charged with attempted robbery, tampering with evidence and first-degree murder.
Monday afternoon, PCSO announced that they had arrested the 16-year-old suspect as well. Deputies did not provide information on the 16-year-old's 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.
