POLK COUNTY, Fla. — The Polk County Sheriff's Office is asking for help in their investigation of a woman who was hit by a bullet while driving on I-4 on Wednesday.

On Feb. 19, around 3:47 p.m., PCSO said a woman called 911 saying something came through the driver's side window of her truck and grazed her head while she was heading west on I-4, near the SR 559 exit.

Polk County Fire Rescue took the woman to a local hospital and she was treated for her injuries. She has since been released.

According to PCSO, they believe a bullet was fired from someone heading eastbound on I-4 at the same time.

If you were traveling on I-4 in either direction at that time and saw anything suspicious, please contact PCSO at 863-298-6200.

“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.
