Today's riddle: Is there anybody completely useless? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Largo housekeeper arrested for stealing more than $20K from employers: SPPD (tampabay28.com) — A Largo-based housekeeper has been arrested after St. Petersburg police say she admitted stealing more than $20,000 in jewelry from longtime employers. Investigators linked her to multiple pawn shop sales across Pinellas County, where victims identified their missing pieces. Largo residents who hire in-home help may want to review security practices and check valuables.
2. Tomasz Kosowski trial: Prosecutors rest case after courtroom demonstration denied (fox13news.com) — A high-profile murder trial tied to a Largo attorney is nearing its conclusion, with closing arguments set for Wednesday and a judge deciding the verdict. Prosecutors detailed how detectives from Largo Police linked Dr. Tomasz Kosowski to attorney Steven Cozzi's 2023 disappearance, while the self-represented defendant unsuccessfully pushed for dramatic courtroom demonstrations. The state is seeking the death penalty, and a ruling could significantly impact the local legal community.
3. A Man Was Arrested After Farting in Bed with His Wife (wrif.com) — A domestic dispute in a Largo household led to a felony battery arrest after a woman told police her partner choked her during an argument over him farting in bed. She later provided Largo officers with a recording in which he allegedly acknowledged the choking. While the story is odd, it underscores how quickly minor conflicts can escalate into serious criminal charges.
4. Irene Cara's Estate Uncovers $333K In Uncollected Royalties Decades After Her Music Industry Battle (finurah.com) — Irene Cara's estate has uncovered more than $333,000 in long-overdue music royalties, even as it has already sold the Largo home where she died for $499,000. For Largo residents, the story offers a local connection to the late star while detailing her long battle for fair compensation. The newly found funds will now be handled through ongoing probate and estate management.
