Florida Man Adds Dear Old Mom To His Multimillion-Dollar Theft Ring

Author Jim Monaghan

It looks as if Florida Man REALLY wants to get the family together in his ring of theft – even Dear Old Mom.

FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!

DATELINE – Pinellas county and the Saga of Florida Man Robert Dell.

If you recall, yesterday, Florida Man was arrested. There was a container in his vehicle, and Florida Man said, “Oh, my mom gave me that. It’s just some moisturizer.”

Well, it turned out NOT to be moisturizer.

Keep that in mind now, Florida Man throwing dear old mom under the bus.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said Robert Dell, a pastor at the Rock Church and founder of a halfway house for those recovering from drug addiction in St. Petersburg, was arrested for operating a multimillion-dollar theft ring. Moody said Dell and four other associates were arrested for stealing merchandise from brands such as Milwaukee and DeWalt from various Home Depots across several counties.

That stuff was then sold on ebay. You’ll love the account name – “Anointed Liquidator.” Remember, he’s a pastor, or at least claims to be.

Officials said Dell threatened abuse and used the positions of being a pastor and founder of a halfway house to manipulate other vulnerable people into committing the crimes. Authorities believe Dell was operating this scheme for more than ten years, bringing the total loss of merchandise to over $5 million.

The co-conspirators, Daniel Mace, Jessica Wilde they were stealing material from stores five to six times a day before giving it to Dell when he put it up on ebay. Officials also say that Robert Dell’s wife Jacqueline and his mother, Karen Dell – I love the fact that she’s named Karen – assisted in the collection, shipment, and payment of the stolen merchandise.

So he’s got Dear Old Mom in on the act! He didn’t even have to throw her under the bus; she was along with him on the bus ride.

Meanwhile, the Rock Church has refuted Moody’s claim that Dell was still a pastor at the church. They put up a statement on their website that said, “Just to clear the record, Robert Dell is NOT the pastor of the Rock Church. He wasn’t the founding pastor, either. He was the pastor when it was named the Rock Community Church and Transformation Center and hasn’t been a pastor for the last two and a half years.”

I guess Dell will be holding his next services behind bars.

  • Florida Man Probably Doesn’t Want To Be A Contestant On Sheriff Ivey’s Game Show

    Not only is this our favorite Florida Man story for July, it’s one of our favorites so far in 2023!

    Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey is a no-nonsense kind of guy.

    He also has a pretty good sense of humor, as you can see from the Facebook page for the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. Anyone who can refer to himself and his fellow officers as “the Po-Po” sounds like a guy you might want to share a beer with.

    Well, it seems that Sheriff Ivey is the host of a new game show called Wheel of Fugitive and while he’s not above poking fun at himself, it’s also pretty obvious that he means business.

    And when Sheriff Ivey means business, it also means that Florida Man probably shouldn’t want to be a contestant.

  • The Fake ID Card Was Probably the Least of Problems For Florida Man

    Having a fake ID card isn’t all that unusual. You can pretty much ask any college student who may or may not have reached the legal drinking age yet.

    When it comes to Florida Man, the fake ID card he had was probably the least of his problems when police caught up with him.

    <strong>Florida Man Omar Feliciano</strong> somehow attracted the attention of deputies from Volusia County at the worst possible time.

    For one, he was holding 88 games of cocaine.

    But – as is often the case with Florida Man – wait, because there’s more.

  • Florida Woman Takes A Page From 50 Cent and Gets Arrested

    Florida Woman‘s aim was a bit off. Remember 50 Cent‘s attempt to throw out the first pitch at a Mets game a few years ago?

    Florida Woman Sarah Ann Kochera took a page from 50 Cent at Rick’s Reef restaurant when she got into an argument with someone (we think it was her boyfriend) and tossed a burrito at him, which resulted in her being arrested.

    She missed.

    And hit someone else.

    And now she’s under arrest.

  • Florida Man Will Never Get His Driver’s License With A Stunt Like This

    Florida Man Gary Lamar Miller will never get his Florida driver’s license if he keeps pulling a stunt like the one he tried a few days ago.

    Miller was clocked doing 117 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone on I-75 shortly after midnight a few days ago. With the police now in pursuit, Florida Man led them on a high-speed chase.

    Despite flashing lights and sirens, Miller refused to pull over and revved his Nissan SUV to more than 120 MPH before exiting the interstate highway and finally stopping his vehicle in front of a gated community.

    If the police were less than thrilled with Miller’s antics behind the wheel, you can imagine their reaction when he told one of the arresting officers that the high speed chase made him feel as if he were in the video game Grand Theft Auto.

    To top things off, Miller only had a learner’s permit to drive and was driving illegally.

  • Drag Racing Florida Man Is the Only One To Ever Shut Down A Bridge

    When Florida Man takes a road trip, he goes all out!

    When Graham Liberal, some kind of Florida Man social media star, arrived in the Steel City from the Sunshine State last week, it was with the intention of setting up some kind of car meet for his social media content.

    What ended up happening was a crowd of 300 people and around 50 cars gathering to shut down the Fort Pitt Bridge around 3 AM last Friday morning.
