  4. Nicholas John Turner 10/14/86, 30 yoa, New Port Richey, 6 Pasco arrests.
    Released from prison - 2011. Auto theft, drugs, Felony Battery, Forgery.
    Name them, Shame them.

      1. Pasco County Arrests: Pasco lists POD/Place of Birth. Turner’s says Whiteplanes, NY.
        Six times. Should be White Plains, NY. I don’t care where he’s from, no excuses.
        Most folks know right from wrong, Golden Rule, etc. Corrections should put them all to WORK. Busting up rocks if nothing else. Good day.

  5. great job hcso. hopefully the courts will do their job now. . and i wont even be childish and comment on his possible political affiliation, origin of birth, race, or body type… not that any one would ever leave bigoted responses in these comment sections..

    1. Great Point!!!
      Go to the Clerks Web Page, and just randomly pick a few
      names of Convicted People.
      It’s amazing how many have NOT paid their fines or costs,
      With NO warrants issued!

  6. The ugliness and hatred that this election has brought out on people is simply heartbreaking.

    I see no place in this report where this person’s political affiliation is mentioned but even if it was, to wish for someone to be shot because of their politics or for any other reason is disgusting.

    What a sad situation this has become. God’s commandment is to love your brother, not shoot him!

  7. Gods Commandments ain’t Working Preacher man! (Love your Brother But Rob your Sister WTF) Is God Not the Same One that put that POS Here? You need to get a Grip on REALITY

    1. God put him here but God didn’t make him rob his sister. My guess is that he needs help either with a drug condition, mental health, or financially and that’s made him do something of this nature. That is the reality of the situation, not his political affiliation.

  8. Maybe showing him a little Godly love could have changed his entire situation and this would have never happened.

    I’ve seen nothing here except hate.

    1. Well, Preacher Man, now is your chance to show him some “Godly love” at the Hernando Hilton. This idiot is lucky someone with a concealed carry didn’t shoot him. This “holier than thou” BS is getting ridiculous.

      1. If they had shot him as you suggest then they would be the one behind bars my brother.

        Committing a crime is never the way to get vengence for another crime.

        Vengence is mine sayeth the Lord.

  9. Holier than thou I am not my brother. I am holier than no one.
    If you would rather not read my posts, please don’t. I wouldn’t want them to offend you. Will keep you in my prayers either way.
    He’ll be getting plenty of attention for now and I’m sure they have a Chaplin to take care of religious needs at the county jail.
