Floridiots Afoot!
A Florida firefighter who admitted taking a severed foot from an accident scene has resigned.
St. Lucie County Fire Chief Ron Parrish said Cindy Economou, a 14 year veteran and former firefighter of the year for St. Lucie County, resigned after she was presented with the investigation report into the incident.
He said after seeing the report, which found her at fault for removing the foot, she resigned.
Parrish wouldn't say if she was encouraged to resign or if she did so voluntarily.

Economou admitted to investigators that she removed the foot, which had been severed in the crash, so that she could take it home to help train cadaver dogs, a hobby of hers.
OK.... as long as I’m giving in to temptation....

PORT ST. LUCIE — A cross-dressing robber snatched a 74-year-old woman's purse in St. Lucie West on Tuesday before a faux breast popped out of his tube top, according to a police report released Thursday.
The alleged female-impersonating robber then hopped into a four-door silver getaway car occupied by possibly two other men in drag and sped off, leaving the victim and the faux breast — a water-filled condom in a white gym sock — at the scene.
"We're processing the condom for latent prints," said Officer Robert Vega, police spokesman.
The victim was pushed to the ground and sustained minor injuries in the incident at the Sears on St. Lucie West Boulevard.
Police also recovered two hairs on the sock that might be chest hairs. Investigators are submitting them for DNA analysis.
The assailant wore a short jean skirt, tube top and white flip-flops, weighs 130 to 140 pounds and is of thin build. He sported shoulder-length hair with maroon hair attachments in a dreadlocks style.
Port St. Lucie has really been contributing more than its fair share of late. Other PSL stories that didn’t make the cut: Man arrested for assaulting his girlfriend with a sandwich, and two people arrested for stealing $15,000 worth of breast pumps and selling them on eBay.
