Wedding brawl ... in case you missed it

Every bride's nightmare probably came true Sunday in Tampa at the waterfront Rusty Pelican Restaurant.

Tampabay.com reported Tuesday that police arrived to find a sprawling melee involving 30 to 40 wedding guests that resulted in a flying brick, the appearance of a gun, and, inevitably, a bride in tears.

Police say the groom, Markeith Brown, was throwing dollar bills onto the dance floor as kids scurried to gather them — "makin' it rain," the rappers call it. Other guests didn't like that, and the fracas was the apparent result.

Deputies: Driver had her own tequila setup

DADE CITY — A woman was caught driving Thursday evening with a half bottle of Jose Cuervo tequila by her side, sliced limes on the console — and two children as passengers, according to a report from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.

Genoveva Amacenda-Velona, 30, of Dade City is charged with aggravated child neglect, DUI, not having a valid driver’s license and not having a motor vehicle registration. She was held Friday at the Land O’Lakes jail without bail.

The children, ages 7 and 9, wore seat belts , the report states. Amacenda-Velona was pulled over about 7:30 p.m. near U.S. 98 and U.S. 301 for not having a passenger side headlight on her white 1999 Pontiac Grand Am, which had California tags, the report states. Her blood-alcohol level was 0.233, the report says, nearly three times the level at which the state assumes impairment. Amacenda-Velona did not speak English but, through an interpreter, told deputies she only had three or four beers at a friend’s house, the report says.

"He told his mommy to stop because the police were trying to pull her over, and she wouldn't."

TAMPA — Maybe Sirena Denice Williams should've listened to her 4-year-old son, piping up from the back seat as she tried to flee from police.

According to an arrest affidavit, the child said "he told his mommy to stop because the police were trying to pull her over, and she wouldn't."

Police were looking for Williams, who left the scene of a Sept. 14 crash in a silver Nissan without a license tag, the affidavit states.

She was found Thursday afternoon heading south on N 40th Street at the intersection of E 26th Avenue. When an officer saw Williams' car run a traffic light to turn on to 26th, the sirens went on. But Williams kept going, police said.

At 3803 N Phillips St., she stopped the car and ran. When the officer got out of his cruiser, he wrote that he saw a 4-year-old child open the back door of the car. The child told the officer "his mama" had been driving, and he'd tried to tell her to stop. A 17-year-old was also in the car unrestrained.

Williams was found and arrested on charges of aggravated fleeing to elude arrest, two counts of child neglect and driving without a license.

She was taken to the Hillsborough County Jail and released on $11,750 bail.

Woman attacks TV crew with hoe: The story behind the video

The video pretty much speaks for itself: Woman attacks TV crew with a hoe. But there's a bizarre backstory.

It seems that two underage teenage girls were arrested for dancing at a Coca Beach strip club called "Playmates." One of them sneaked out of the house to dance, but her mom caught her after someone snitched, as previously reported in BizarreFlorida.

Police said the girls were wearing “tiny bikini-type outfits” and that they had been working at the club for months. Anyway, a FOX 35 TV crew went to a Cocoa home talk to relatives of one of the underage dancers. They asked for Rosemary. Apparently they knocked on the wrong house.
