Neighbor News

Reports of harassment by rogue neighbor confirmed.

Senior woman reportedly harassing people in a residential area north of Edison Mall, stealing, accusing them of terrorism

We are getting reports of a female senior citizen harassing people in the neighborhood, accusing them of terrorism and terrorism plotting, robbery, assault & battery, burglary, calling them "peeping toms" for being outside, and even stealing from them. She is known to approach people and start harassing them, accusing them of terrorism and burglary for being outside, making like there's a nationwide mandatory curfew, military enforced.

And as we are learning, the person involved is Donna Petito, last seen residing at an apartment complex just north of Edison Mall. She's harassed and started trouble reportedly with several neighbors at the complex and surrounding neighborhood. All for them just being outside and enjoying some fresh air or for doing something constructive. Send Donna to DuPage County, Illinois. We in Florida have a zero tolerance policy for people like Petito that start drama with people, including their own neighbors.

*Update* We are now receiving reports and rumors that Petito has in fact framed a neighbor for arson at another complex for having a barbecue, and is believed to have accused another neighbor of rigging pipe bombs on parked vehicles. She is also known to have stolen a windmill from a neighbor, and then broken it and thrown it into a garbage dumpster.
