A Miami man famous for missing half of his head is facing arson and attempted murder charges for allegedly setting his mattress on fire.
Carlos Rodriguez, 31, was arrested Monday on one count of first-degree arson and two counts of attempted felony murder, according to an arrest report.
Rodriguez appeared in bond court Tuesday but the public defender representing him asked for the hearing to be reset for Wednesday, saying Rodriguez may have some "mental issues."
According to the arrest report, firefighters responded to a duplex in the 200 block of Northwest 61st Avenue after his mattress was set on fire. The report said two people live in the duplex next door.
The report said the fire was set deliberately "posing an immediate threat to the lives and safety of the occupants."
Rodriguez gained fame in 2010 when he was arrested in Miami-Dade for allegedly soliciting a prostitute and his mugshot was posted on the internet. In YouTube videos, Rodriguez, who answers to the name "Halfy," explains he injured his head after he hit a pole while driving, flew out the front window of the car and landed on his head.
And he keeps showing up on FR!!!
Half his head gone? Brain too? Gotta be a Hillary supporter.
Typical Miami driver.
“Rodriguez may have mental issues.”
Rodriguez response: “Why, I have half a mind to ... what was I saying?”
He doesn’t look too bad from the front, but the profile shot is something else. It’s hard to believe he survived his initial massive injury.
He’s probably on SSI. I don’t know if they cover that kind of reconstructive surgery, but anyone who is advocating for him should get it done, if the young man even wants such a procedure. I’ll bet it would improve his mental health immensely, let alone any employment options.
Or he could just wear one of those Cubano porkpie hats. Nobody wants to see that.
Where does his brain go????? OMG
He had half a mind to set fires.
There are plenty of warehouses and stock rooms.
Finding a hard hat that fits might be tricky though!
From Wikipedia:
The frontal lobe contains most of the dopamine-sensitive neurons in the cerebral cortex. The dopamine system is associated with reward, attention, short-term memory tasks, planning, and motivation.
[The pre-frontal cortext] region has been implicated in planning complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, decision making, and moderating social behaviour. The basic activity of this brain region is considered to be orchestration of thoughts and actions in accordance with internal goals.
The most typical psychological term for functions carried out by the pre-frontal cortex area is executive function. Executive function relates to abilities to differentiate among conflicting thoughts, determine good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of outcomes, expectation based on actions, and social "control" (the ability to suppress urges that, if not suppressed, could lead to socially unacceptable outcomes).
He can sit on the floor next to my barca-lounger and I’ll set my beer can on his head.
That’s half the requirements a guy I knew had for the ideal wife: a flat head and no teeth.
I bet he could pull off an insanity plea.
The ideal woman is a millionairess, flies an F-16 and owns a liquor store.
'Your honor, his mind is out of my client.'

Did you see these? It might be that we don’t understand the brain very well at all.

He admits it was a half thought out plan.
