PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. – A Florida man was caught in the middle of an escape attempt when a detective found him hanging from the ceiling of an interview room following a burglary arrest, authorities said.

Terence Meehan, 29, of Punta Gorda was arrested Monday after a homeowner reported he was pacing on their lanai a day after stealing cash from a child’s bedroom, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO).

Deputies responded to the home on Abrade Avenue in Port Charlotte where a perimeter was set up to look for Meehan who took off running after authorities arrived.

Neighbors reported spotting him hours later near Goldcoast Avenue. CCSO launched a helicopter to help locate the 29-year-old who was eventually found hiding between a garage and an RV in the neighborhood, investigators said.

Why can’t we just build a wall around Florida?

I’d be fine with that, as it would keep all the blue state Democrat kooks from moving in.

A lanai is like a screened in porch. You don’t want to sit on a porch that isn’t screened if you are in Florida.

That could apply to a lot of Floridians.

Re-electing Amnesty Senators is just retarded.

South Carolina has a big lead on you, though.

Well, we could install some site-to-site transporters that would actually beam them into black holes, or something.

I hear ya. After all that bull, almost effectively being cheated out of it by Nelson, Scott goes and supports establishment tards like Murkowski anyway. No honor among thieves . . . or Congresscritters.

Yeah I know what a lanai is, I’ve had one in every Florida home I’ve owned for over 30 years now.

If your comment about being screened in is reference to insects, it depends on how hard the wind is blowing.

I’m just confused about what the part if the story I quoted was trying to say.

Bring back real editors who at least passed 4th grade English.

What’s with the recent rash of detainees trying to escape through PD’s ceilings?

“What’s with the recent rash of detainees trying to escape through PD’s ceilings?”

Apparently its worked in the past somewhere......if volunteering in my church’s prison ministry has taught me anything its that criminals communicate pretty well.

It’s affectionately referred to as “the inmate internet”.

Computer generated article programming doesn’t have all the bugs worked out yet.
