Yep, his name really is Dick Oranges and, yes, he’s from Florida. Dick is in the news this week for some trouble he’s had this month with a loss prevention officer and for a little weed he had in his car. It’s Florida, sit back for the wild ride.
According to the Naples News:
Dick Oranges, 49, faces five criminal charges in connection with the June 4 incident.
A loss prevention officer at the store, 2368 Pine Ridge Road, told Collier County sheriff’s deputies he and the store’s manager confronted Oranges after seeing him go into a dressing room and emerge without any of the clothing, which was also not found inside the dressing room.
Outside the store, Oranges resisted their attempts to escort him inside, pushing the manager away and biting the officer’s arms, causing the skin to break, according to an arrest report. The two employees said Oranges then pulled out a knife and started swinging it at the officer.
Whoa, Dick’s pretty crazy!
And there’s more.
In an unrelated incident Thursday, two weeks later, Oranges was stopped by Florida Highway Patrol troopers, who said he was driving 55 mph in a 35 mph construction zone. Oranges apologized and asked them to “give him a second chance,” according to reports. After smelling marijuana in the car, troopers said they found a pouch labeled “Dime Bag” that contained a grinder and rolling papers.
Wait, you’re telling me Dick Oranges rolls around town with a weed bag labeled “Dime Bag”? SHOCKED!
