"It seems he wanted to get a little attention and sympathy from his wife," Bibb said

This doesn't make sense if he was trying to get her to leave him.

Why would he continue the lie to the cops? That's what got him charged.

Oddballs.

Is Florida trying to beat out Kalifornicator for being the capital of weird news?

...effort to persuade his wife to leave him...

If she isn't "persuaded" by this, she's a nut just like her husband!

"The sheriff's office would probably bill Akin for the cost of their seven-hour search, Bibb said."

Skim reading I thought it read "The sheriff's office would probably kill Akin for the cost of........

Need to add this idiot to the list below:

IDIOT IN NEIGHBORHOOD

I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "Too many deer were being hit by cars" and he did not want them to cross there any more.

IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE

My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg. And he was a Kansas City chef!

IDIOT SIGHTING

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when an airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask." Happened in Birmingham, Ala.

IDIOT SIGHTING

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually-challenged co-worker of mine when she asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?" She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS.

IDIOT SIGHTING

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear co-worker who was leaving the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully, "this is fun. We should do this more often." Not a word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.

IDIOT SIGHTING

I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office, no less.

IDIOT SIGHTING

When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "it's open!" To which he replied, "I know - I already got that side." This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!

They walk among us, Scary ...isn't it?

Totally. I would say 80% of the weird stories Drudge has on his site originate from Ch 6 in Orlando, FL. This ones in Ocala, but FL IS becoming weirdo central.

All he had to do was block the Lifetime cable channel.
