A Salvation Army bell ringer has been arrested after attempting to impale a Publix manager with his kettle tripod, according to sheriffs deputies.Steven Pavlik, 63, was arrested after a troubling incident while working as a Salvation Army bell ringer at the Publix on Kanner Highway.
Pavlik was hired to collect donations during the holiday season but instead created a disturbance outside the store.
Witnesses reported that he was intoxicated while on duty, confronting and disturbing customers who passed by.
The situation escalated when the Publix manager approached Pavlik to address his behavior. In a violent outburst, Pavlik attempted to assault and impale the manager with a donation kettle tripod, fortunately missing his target and not causing injury.
After fleeing the scene, deputies later found Pavlik at his residence.

Mr. Pavlik needs to be on mandatory Antabuse.
I like these coach guns, for nostalgia. In the present, I’ll still reach for the Glock.
Damn near bought a model 23 in .45 last weekend at Academy. $499 on sale. I suspect that they are being discontinued.
Yep. News came out last month, Glock is going to discontinue (all?) their current models (how many? too many!) and simplify their manufacturing lineup.
So, if you find ’em cheap, get ’em while you can. A great hedge against inflation.
After being out of the headlines for awhile, Florida Man returns full force.
Is this an opportunity to update the infamous AR15 graphic? I am calling on modern journalism to remove the chainsaw and affix a kettle tripod to that dastardly bayonet lug, and do it now!
