Some situations that result in criminal charges have immensely unique circumstances. Still, if a weapon is involved, it is possible for a person to face serious charges, like aggravated assault. When such allegations are leveled against a person, it is wise for him or her to understand the predicament as best as possible.

It was recently reported that one woman in Florida is currently facing serious charges after an incident at a dollar store. Apparently, the woman was in line at the store when she passed gas. The flatulence offended another customer who presumably made a comment about it. As a result, the woman and the other person began arguing, but details of the argument were not given in the report.

One can be any age when he or she realizes that a marriage is not working out. For some Florida residents, relationships may have lasted only a few years before coming to an end, and others may have been married for decades. After the age of 50, many people find their lives changed in different ways after divorce.

In a recent report, several individuals over the age of 50 gave their accounts of life after divorce. One woman stated that she was surprised by the impact the divorce had on her adult children who had already left home. The younger children still living at home were able to adapt to the changes more quickly because they saw it firsthand, and the older children continued to feel caught off guard when only coming home to visit.

Ending up in a situation where criminal accusations are brought against someone can be intimidating. When the charges involve allegations of murder, the predicament can seem even more insurmountable. However, even when serious charges like murder are involved, parties have the ability to create a criminal defense.

One woman in Florida will undoubtedly want to find the right help for her case after recently being charged in relation to a fatal stabbing. Reports indicated that the woman's husband had died in June after he was stabbed in the shoulder. The woman apparently gave multiple accounts of how the incident occurred, and inconsistency caused authorities to suspect that she was not telling the truth. In her original account, the woman reportedly stated that she was holding her dog in one hand and had the knife in the other when she tripped and stabbed her husband.

It's a classic middle school act to tell a teacher you don't have your homework because the dog ate it. One Florida driver apparently wanted to take that concept a step further by telling police officers he did not operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. According to his story, his dog was behind the wheel.

The Smoking Gun reported this summer that police caught a Florida man driving the wrong way on Interstate 95. Court records show that when the cops pulled him over, the man had trouble getting out of the car and required assistance. He was barefoot, and he told the cops he got into an argument with his girlfriend earlier about the dog. The officers reported that they could very much smell the stench of alcohol on his breath, and he claimed he was not behind the wheel of the vehicle but that his dog drove. However, when officers examined his vehicle, they found he was the only occupant.
