     DAYTONA BEACH SHORES -- A woman living in a beachfront condo threatened to burn a fellow tenant in a somewhat elaborate plan that involved a Molotov-style cocktail she fashioned from a bottle of Bud Light, police said. John According to an arrest report, 46-year-old Maria Michelle John had the scheme all planned: she bought a gas can and gasoline at a nearby 7-Eleven and went back to her room to plan her move. Her idea got her arrested and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and manufacturing and possession of a firebomb, an arrest report shows. Police were called to the condominium, 3501 S. Atlantic Ave., just after 6:30 p.m. Sunday, when another tenant there was threatened by John. The tenant, Jason Ward, told police that John had told him to get off the property, and that she would burn him if he didn't leave, the report says. When Ward saw John later that day in front of his room door, he avoided her and went down to the parking lot of the building. John, however, armed with a gasoline-filled beer bottle, a white towel stuffed inside and a lighter, followed Ward downstairs, the report says. Ward knocked the bottle out of John's hand, spilling gasoline all over the parking lot and his hands. He called 9-1-1. When officers arrived, they headed toward John's room and could smell gasoline even before they went inside, the report shows. They found John on the balcony; they also spotted two more beer bottles -- filled with gasoline and stuffed with white towels -- in her bathroom. The red gasoline can John had purchased at the convenience store was nearby, police said. When officers questioned John, she told them that two other tenants at the Pirates Cove who lived upstairs from her were killing babies on the Internet, the report says. She also mumbled something about the Green Berets and said they were burning rooms, police said. That's when officers decided John was a threat to herself and probably the other tenants of the Pirates Cove, the report shows. John is being held at the Volusia County Branch Jail on $24,000 bail.

     Driver extradited to face DUI charges 01/30/2010
 LAND O' LAKES - A former Pinellas County teacher involved in a fatal crash in April has been arrested and extradited to Pasco County. Pasco County sheriff's detectives traveled this week to Troy, N.Y., where Deborah Terrero was arrested Jan. 16 on a Pasco warrant and signed a waiver of extradition to face charges of DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide and DUI. She was booked into the Land O' Lakes Jail on Thursday. Terrero is charged in the death of Nicole Cetrangolo, 37, who was killed April 5 when the motorcycle on which she was riding was involved in a crash at the intersection of U.S. 19 and Oakley Avenue about 2 a.m., authorities say. Terrero, of New Port Richey, was driving a 1999 Ford sport utility vehicle west on Oakley Avenue and went through a stop sign at the intersection of U.S. 19, according to authorities. The driver of the motorcycle, Kenneth Dillon, 48, was northbound on U.S. 19 and tried to avoid the vehicle by turning into the center lane. Terrero made a wide turn and drove into the same lane, the Florida Highway Patrol said. The motorcycle, a 2007 Triumph, hit the back of the SUV. Cetrangolo of New Port Richey died at the scene. Dillon sustained serious injuries but survived. Neither he nor Cetrangolo were wearing helmets, according to the highway patrol. Terrero and passenger Meghan Flareau, 24, of Hudson, were not injured, troopers said. According to the warrant, Terrero was under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance at the time of the crash. Terrero had been a teacher for the Pinellas County school district's hospital and homebound program until 2008. She was being held at the Land O' Lakes Jail with bail set at $450,000. According to an obituary in her hometown paper, The World, Cetrangolo was born in Vermont and was a graduate of Norwich University, where she was a member of the women's rugby team. While living in West Virginia, she started researching trauma and dedicated her life to helping anyone suffering from trauma. When she died, she was in the process of writing a book on the subject.
