PINELLAS COUNTY, FLORIDA:  A Florida man had a shocking experience early on August 1 at his St Petersburg home, according to a report from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. According to the deputies turned up at the house at around 3.45 am after getting a disturbance call.

The victim explained that his ex-wife apparently came into the room while he was sleeping and proceeded to rip off his CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device, leaving him with a "bloody" lip.

Victim's ex-wife intentionally touched or struck him

The Florida man also claimed the suspect started "arguing" with him after she ripped off his device, which reduces snoring and sleep apnea, according to the report, which also states that he was assaulted and left with a "bloody" lip.

As per authorities, the ex-couple resided together despite their 2009 divorce. After it was found that the victim's ex-wife "did intentionally touch or strike" him against his will, she was detained, as per Miami Herald.

She was briefly booked into the county jail on a charge of domestic battery. The two are not allowed to speak, as ordained by a Pinellas Judge.

Another Florida Man case

After allegedly registering a 1977 Porsche 911 Turbo that had been stolen from the renowned Sarasota Classic Car Museum, Florida man Daniel Boyce, 36, was detained on fraud and theft charges.

According to official police records, the bold scheme involved falsely registering the car using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of another vintage 911 obtained from a California salvage yard.

Smaller motor variant of the Porsche 911 Turbo is coveted

Collectors place tremendous value on the sought-after early 3.0-liter Porsche 911 Turbo. The smaller motor variant is rarer, which adds to its appeal even though the 3.3-liter Turbos of later iterations are praised as the performance benchmarks within the 930 families. The car is worth roughly $250,000, as estimated by the museum.

The investigation was launched when authorities responded to an alarm that went off early on June 14 at the Sarasota Classic Car Museum. Their initial attempts to get in touch with museum staff were unsuccessful, leading them to believe that the location was secure. 

Later that morning, visits showed pried marks on a doorway and a breached section of fencing. Interestingly, seven cars had been moved to make room for the stolen Porsche, which was conspicuously missing.

The valuable vehicle was easily taken off-site using on-site fuel, and the keys were discovered in the driver's footwell by the evasive robbery suspect, who has not yet been identified, as per reports.
