Fla. wedding goes wild as guests throw punches

by Tammie Fields - Nov. 10, 2009 10:07 AM WTSP-TV, Tampa, Fla.

Tampa Police say around 9 p.m. during the reception one guest became upset when the groom started tossing money onto the dance floor for the children to scoop up. The groom and his brother confronted the guest and asked him to leave. Tempers flared and some pushing and shoving took place. Some of the wedding guests chose sides and that led to an all out brawl that spilled out into the parking lot. Investigators say nearly 40 people were involved. The fighting ruined the reception and some of the guests and wedding party members headed to their hotel nearby where the fighting erupted all over again in the parking lot of the Marriott Residence Inn. A woman put the groom's 74-year-old grandmother, Mary Wright in a choke hold.

Really, what would I add to that story?

TAMPA, Fla. - The driver and the child in her lap survived when a pickup truck slammed into a 1,500-gallon aquarium at Tampa International Airport. Airport officials say 36-year-old Yamile Campuzano-Martine lost control of her truck and drove into the saltwater tank outside the American Airlines baggage claim Monday night.

Maybe she was on the lam, trying to get out of town quick after choking an old lady at a wedding...

Fla. man calls 911 seeking phone sex

by Joshua Basso - Nov. 13, 2009 10:09 AM WTSP-TV, Tampa, Fla.

TAMPA, Fla. - In emergencies, 911 dispatchers will go to great lengths to help out callers. Unfortunately for 29-year-old Joshua Basso, needing sex is not one of those emergencies. Police arrested Basso at his home Wednesday for making false 911 calls after he dialed the number looking for sex. He said he made the calls because his cell phone was out of minutes and 911 was the only number he could call for free.

"Uhhhh, yeah...911?  Yeah, I need some lovin', 'cause my girl got herself busted for running into that aquarium at the airport when she was runnin' away from that wedding where she choked the old lady..."
 
But why does the 911 caller have the same name as the guy credited with writing the article?
