Monday morning feel good stories

From Orlando, Florida;

A man shot a suspected carjacker Saturday, who tried to buy a Nissan Altima with counterfeit bills, Volusia deputies said.

The victim brought a friend armed with a handgun who he recruited as backup to a Walgreens on Providence Boulevard in Deltona, where he agreed to meet Michael Cintron-Rodriguez.

Cintron-Rodriguez, 32, took the car for a test drive with the victim in the passenger’s seat and at the end of the drive, decided to purchase the car. He handed a bundle of cash to the victim, who soon realized it was counterfeit.

The victim, who wasn’t identified, told his friend by phone that the deal was going bad so the man approached the car.

Cintron-Rodriguez took off with the victim still in the car. The two men fought until they stopped at a red light at Elkcam and Providence boulevards, when the third man caught up, opened the door and shot Cintron-Rodriguez in the leg.

Cintron-Rodriguez again drove away and continued to fight with the victim.

At the intersection of Elkcam Boulevard and Oswego Avenue, the third man opened the door again and saw the men fighting and dragged Cintron-Rodriguez from the car.

The victim and the third man held Cintron-Rodriguez down until deputies arrived.

Cintron-Rodriguez was transported to Central Florida Regional Hospital and remained in custody Sunday. He faces charges of carjacking, kidnapping and possession of counterfeit currency. He’s held on $750,000 bond.

I have to wonder, what was it about the currency that tipped off the victim that it was counterfeit? Something subtle or something blindingly obvious?

“He faces charges of carjacking, kidnapping and possession of counterfeit currency.” Hope the DA tosses an assault charge on the pile, too.

Why does it always have to be Florida? I’m beginning to think I live in a nut house??

In case anybody was wondering what this turd looks like, here are 3 mugshot photos prior to this 2018 incident:

The first mugshot in 2016 was for a probation violation. The last mugshot, Nov 2017, has his last name reversed but if you look at each mugshot, you will see a crease or scar starting at the inside of his eyebrow and going up a couple inches.

Hopefully with this latest charge, he gets a room at an “extended stay state lodging facility”.

Let’s say a funny money charge would get a person in jail for 10 years but if the person only printed just one side of the bill on his/her printer, would the jail time be cut in half to 5 years?? Just asking.
