A Florida man has been arrested for allegedly harassing a gay couple who live next to him, even going so far as to menace their children, authorities say.
Frank Norviel, 57, of Leesburg, Florida, is accused of harassing his neighbors and their children as part of a months-long campaign, shining lights on them and shouting anti-gay slurs at them while he stood along the fence dividing their properties or passed by on a bicycle, according to deputies with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Other instances of Norviel’s harassment included an incident in September in which he allegedly screamed “It’s not Adam and Steve” at his neighbors while repeatedly squeaking a rubber chicken. In another incident, Norviel allegedly threatened one of the couple’s children, telling the young boy he would kill the family cat and eat it with teriyaki sauce. When the boy objected, the man told him to “shut up” and suggested he perform sex acts on his parents “like they trained you to do,” according to an affidavit.
The neighbors filed a stalking complaint against Norviel earlier this month due to that repeated harassment, which they claim was due to their sexual orientation. That led a court to grant two temporary injunctions against Norviel, stating that he could ot come within 10 feet of the couple’s vehicles, reports Orlando-area CBS affiliate WKMG.
But the day after the injunction was granted, Norviel allegedly violated the court order, according to deputies, who said he was caught on security camera footage hoistins a pair of dirty underwear above his neighbors’ driveway with a long bamboo pole, and placing a white cross, facing his neighbors’ house, on top of the fence between Norviel’s property and theirs.
On Jan. 10, a Lake County deputy who was canvassing the area saw lights and noises coming from Norviel’s backyard. The deputy claims that when they approached the home to get a better look, Norviel emerged from his house and began screaming at the deputy, accusing them of trespassing as he retreated back into the home.
The deputy identified themselves as law enforcement and grabbed one of Norviel’s arms in order to stop him from barricading himself, according to a charging affidavit. Norviel tried to push away, leading the deputy to grab both of his arms. They fell to the ground and managed to get one handcuff on Norviel before he freed his hand and swung his arm back, with the cuffs leaving bloody lacerations on the deputy’s arm.
The deputy warned Norviel that they would use their Taser if he didn’t stop resisting, but Norviel allegedly wouldn’t calm down, prompting the deputy to taser him before taking him into cusotdy. Norviel currently faces charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, three counts of resisting an officer without violence.
I hope they weren’t Asian. That’d be a hate crime.
Someone in my neighborhood has a cat that likes to use my flowerbed as its litter-box. I don’t know who’s cat it is, but more than once I’ve threatened that if I catch it, I’ll sell it to the local Chinese restaurant.
Mothballs and flaked peppers did the trick in my beds.
The neighbor a couple of doors down claimed that my cat was doing the same in her landscaping mulch. She said she saw it on camera, and raced out to stop it, slipped in cat crap on her porch, and went flying into her front yard. She lost me at cat crap on the front porch. I’d like to have seen that, though. She’s s real lawn Nazi...set up ultrasonic beepers to scare cats and birds out of the yard, topped the fences with spikey things....
Is there a leash law in your county? Our county is about 95% suburbs, so even cats as well as dogs have to be on leash outdoors. Animal control can come out and fine the owner if the neighbors report a roaming pet caught on security video.
I don’t think it applies to cats.
I despise Fags. but if they are quiet about it, no problem,
The in your face ones, good bye nobody will miss them.
Most people , any people are why I insist on a minimum of 5 acres to live on. That way I generally don’t have to deal with them directly much.
Works better that way.
I like my neighbors, as long as they are far away.
their cats and dogs included.
They almost always get in your face if you don’t acknowledge them or affirm them. Ignoring them is not an option in their minds. The fag flag they incessantly have flying in front of their homes is a dead giveaway of “listen to me!!!”
MetroWeekly seems to be one of those free leftist rags that exists in most large cities to cater to the fringe/artsy culture. They are therefore certainly fag-affirming, so take what they report with a grain of salt.

Yes?

Someone told me to try flaked peppers on my garden to keep the rabbits from eating young plants.
I think the little scutters used them to season their salads.
There is a rabbit that occasionally visits my yard and munches on the grass. No biggie. Just wish there were more of them so I wouldn’t have to mow my lawn.
I’m trying to discourage the neighborhood cats from using my tortoise habitat. I wonder if mothballs or flaked peppers would present a hazard to my tortoise?
Rabbits are quite delicious. I wouldn’t know about cats. I’ve never been that hungry.
Lake county is a deep red county so we don’t have every law on earth like blue areas.
Metro Weekly really ?
The far left nutter rag is funded by Male Female escort services and god knows what ever else in the back .
I think rellic is basically pointing to your post and saying ‘This’, as in, they agree with you.
-I know I agree with you both.
“She’s s real lawn Nazi...”
A coworker of mine, years ago, complained about a neighbor who wanted to get “yard of the month” so bad that he chased off all the kids (including his own), and constantly watered, weeded and fertilized it.
I came in a couple days later and plopped a bag of wildflower seeds down in front of him. It took a few seconds for the light in his head to come on, but then he didn’t stop laughing for ten minutes. He put it to good use.
