Another Fake Florida Cop Gets Pulled Over By Real One

Sean Roberts March 27th
He was observed tailgating several drivers.

YouTube is full of videos of people trying to pass themselves off as police officers when they are clearly not. They put lights on their cars, get a badge, carry a gun and even pull people over for “offenses”. It must happen often, because new stories pop up constantly. Today’s fake cop story comes from Naples.
Deputies in Collier County arrested Jack Bowles for impersonating a law enforcement officer. Investigators say Bowles made several modifications to his car to make it appear to be an unmarked police cruiser. They say he then used the car to intimidate other drivers on I-75. The story began back on March 9th, when a Collier County deputy observed a black 2019 Dodge Challenger with antennas and radar devices mounted on the truck lid. The vehicle also had a handheld radio and a laptop that was mounted in the front seat, as law enforcement vehicles often do. The vehicle was observed aggressivley tailgating other vehicles on the interstate. That’s when things got a bit more interesting. The black Challenger then got behind the deputy’s car and tailgated it. After a few moments, the car pulled up next to the deputy and yelled to him that he was a retired police officer. That’s when the deputy showed him a real badge and told him to pull over. As both cars got off of the highway, the Challenger reportedly stopped quickly in front of the deputy, forcing him to stop and get out. As the deputy got out of his car, he said the suspect got out and came toward him, yelling that he was a retired police officer. The man produced an identification card from the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office in Mississippi. The suspect also had a badge from the same agency. A deputy took the badge to examine it, but Bowles attempted to take it back. That’s never good.
Bowles was arrested for resisting an officer without violence. Upon further investigation, deputies discovered that Bowles had never worked for the Hinds County Police Department and was never a certified law enforcement official. That means Bowles was also charged with felony impersonating a police officer. Bowles was taken to the Naples Jail. If you had an interaction with the suspect, you are asked to contact the Collier County Sheriff’s Department at 1-239-252-9300. Source: Fox3Now.com

Rock And Rollers Who Fell While On Stage

8 Nasty Stage Falls Ranging from Funny to Painful

Stage falls: They happen to even the best rockers out there.

Sometimes, they’re hilarious. However, there are times when a tumble will literally have you scream, “OH, SH*T!” out loud.

Here’s a look back at some of the nastiest stage falls in recent years.

  • Tom Morello

    Morello took a nasty spill from the stage during Rage Against The Machine’s July 23, 2022 show in Toronto, but it wasn’t really his fault. A fan had run up on the stage, and when security tackled the fan, Morello was taken out in the process. Singer Zack de la Rocha briefly stopped the show to make sure his bandmate was okay. Morello popped back up, was clearly not phased and then whipped the crowd up into a frenzy.

  • Vince Neil

    This was a scary one. Neil was performing a solo set in October 2021 when he fell through a small gap between a speaker and the stage that resulted in a four-foot drop onto a cement floor. He was taken to a nearby hospital and fortunately didn’t sustain any serious injuries.

  • James Hetfield

    On September 4, 2017, Papa Het fell into a hole on stage during Metallica’s show in Amsterdam. Thankfully, he was okay, but it certainly could’ve been worse.

  • Kirk Hammett

    Speaking of Metallica, Hammett took a spill on stage during a May 2019 show in Milan, Italy. Mid-solo on “Moth Into Flame,” Hammett slips on his Wah Wah pedal due to heavy rain that was passing through. He would write in the caption on the Instagram post below, “It rained so much I felt like I was playing guitar in the shower.”

  • The Edge

    Another fall that could’ve been a lot worse was this misstep by The Edge on opening night of U2’s 2015 “Innocence and Experience” tour.

  • Steven Tyler

    Steven Tyler has fallen off the stage A LOT in his storied career. One of the worst times occurred in 2009 when Aerosmith played Sturgis, and Tyler’s fall landed him in the hospital with head, neck and shoulder injuries.

  • Axl Rose

    Like Steven Tyler, Axl Rose has fallen off stage a lot. Here’s some grainy footage from a Guns N’ Roses show from 1989, which looks frightening. (Side note: Axl has a long history of just wiping out on stage, period. Seriously, Google it!)

  • Dave Grohl

    Who could forget this moment? Dave Grohl’s major fall off stage during a 2015 show in Sweden may have resulted in a broken leg, but it gave us the Foo Throne, so we’ll just chalk this up to taking the good with the bad.

    Plus, he had THE BEST reaction to falling off stage, too. Even in tons of pain, Grohl manages to be the most charming mofo in the room!

  • BONUS: Krist Novoselic

    Alright…so this isn’t a proper stage fall, but as far as stage injuries go, Krist Novoselic’s bass toss at the 1992 MTV VMAs is always worth mentioning.

The Best Dog-Friendly Restaurants In The Bay

Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny. That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards. After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind. He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex. He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
