Police: Florida man hid legless fugitive girlfriend in plastic tote

[Major Nikon]

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) — A Central Florida man is accused of hiding his legless fugitive girlfriend from police by stuffing her into a plastic storage container.

48-year-old John Robert Carr Jr. of Winter Haven is charged with resisting arrest. News outlets report Carr attempted to hide 39-year-old Krystle Lee Anderson from U.S. marshals and Polk County Sheriff's deputies Tuesday.

Anderson was wanted for failing to appear in court on charges including false imprisonment related to a 2015 incident when she allegedly held people hostage at a Burger King with a BB gun. It ended in a shooting with police and she lost both legs.

Authorities received a tip that Anderson was with Carr. He denied Anderson was there, but an officer had spotted Carr placing the now-4-foot-tall woman into the container. She surrendered without incident.

13. she went to the BK with the BB gun to confront a relative who works there

"The shooting happened on May 22 when Krystal Lee Anderson was in the Burger King on Silver Star Road, trying to confront her relative, who works at the fast food restaurant, according to Deputy Chief Ted Silberstein.

When an officer went into the restaurant and told Anderson to drop her weapon, Anderson pointed the firearm at him, Silberstein said.

"The officer, who [was] in fear not only for his own life but also the lives of the terrorized employees, fired his weapon wounding" Anderson, Silberstein said."

man...

7. Wow! This sounds just like a classic John Dickson Carr novel...

...called *The Crooked Hinge*, one of the greatest puzzler-mysteries ever written. Worth looking for, though in the very fact of recommending it in connection to this thread, I've sort of given a spoiler...

[gratuitous]

9. John Dickson Carr mysteries are just the best

I feel quite exhilarated when I figure out some of the cunning little puzzles he lays out. I don't know that I've ever sussed out the killer before the big reveal.

[First Speaker]

10. My favorite of his is *The Burning Court*...

...because of the American setting--Philly's Main Line--which he should have done more of; the historical verisimilitude, based on actual facts of the famous Affair of the Poisons in the time of Louis XIV; and the sheer menace of the book, that slowly overwhelms the reader. And an ending that raises the hair on your head...

[Harker]

11. Yeah...

sort of.

I'll just skip that one!

12. Florida man does what the rest of us only dream of doing

He's the human Honey Badger.
