[Woody Overton]

Hello, everybody. Welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Wednesday, September the third, 2025. And I'm Woody Overton.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm Cindy Overton.

[Woody Overton]

Back at it. Bringing it to you. Bringing it to you. And nice. Cooler outside. Lower humidity down here. I don't know how it is up north, y', all, but it's nice. And my favorite time of the year is almost upon us when it gets a little bit cooler. And all the good stuff, right? Hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for ao. Hashtag just Barbara Blunt. Hashtag just for Haley. Coming y' all stay tuned this week. We skipped the week last week on Bradley and AO on purpose reasons. Not going to go into and but full force this week.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So tuning in and you're gonna pretty much get shocked. Shocked and blocked and all that stuff, right? Yeah, all that crazy stuff. All right, I gotta start out with this story. It's time for family matters. And I know we're jumping right into it a minute instead of talking and stuff, but you know, being a cheerleader in college, they get scholarships and stuff, right? And SEC school Kentucky the big deal. And you know, get the college paid for four years and all that. Right. So if you're a 21 year old university Kentucky cheerleader, you do not expect to get arrested.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, no, I would think it would be a code of conduct for the cheerleaders.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Well, listen to this code of contact. The police got dispatched Lexington Lexington Police department got dispatched to the cheerleader apartment and her name is Laken Snelling. And when they got there. Guess what? Well, they got. They arrested her. Okay. Obviously they took her into custody and because they were dispatched for an unresponsive infant had a resident of 400 block of Park Avenue Avenue earlier last week. Now when the officers arrive, they located an infant that was pronounced deceased at the scene. And the Fayette county coroner's office said they will release the infant's cause of death. Now Snelling, who Lexington police said was the infant's mother was was charged with abuse of a corpse tam tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of an infant. A University of Kentucky spokesperson told Fox News on Tuesday that Stilling is a senior at UK and a member of the stunt team. I guess that whatever they do the flips and stuff. Yes. University of Kentucky athletics describe stunt as a head to head competition between two teams that focuses on the technical and athletic aspects of cheer. That is one of the fastest growing female sports in the United States. That's competition cheering. Right. And Snellen is listed as a member of the stunt team on his website. Well, when the cops got to the apartment for the unresponsive baby, guess where they found it?

[Cindy Overton]

In a drawer.

[Woody Overton]

Infant was located wrapped in a towel inside a black trash bag and was in a closet. I mean you think should have took it out of the closet at least if you got. Or somebody called. I don't know who called. But the. During the interview with police, Snellen admitted to giving birth. So the Lexing Police department said special victim section is continuing to investigate how the you be a cheerleader and nine months pregnant on the stunt team and nobody knew about it.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't know.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Wow.

[Cindy Overton]

I honestly do not know.

[Woody Overton]

I mean 21 years old, your whole life's going away.

[Cindy Overton]

I know that when you're in really good shape that your abdominal muscles like conceal it a little bit more. And I say this out of experience. My mom was a junior Olympic swimmer. She was a very good swimmer diver when she was pregnant with me. There is a picture and I don't know if you remember seeing, excuse me, seeing pictures when they would take them back in the day that it was timestamped and so you can see a picture with a timestamp on it that is June of 1971. And my mom is like sitting like she's just sitting down and she has her arm up and she's waving and she's turned to the side to wave and her stomach is flat as a board and she's eight months pregnant with me like, but she Was in tip top shape. So I don't know how you conceal it, but I do know my mama wasn't trying to conceal being pregnant with me. She just was like that thin, you know what I mean? Like that in shape. So anyway, I don't know, but I.

[Woody Overton]

Don'T know the answer to that. I mean, you wrap it in a towel in a garbage bag and hide it in the bottom of your closet, does it bode well for you?

[Cindy Overton]

No, absolutely not.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, you got some explaining today.

[Cindy Overton]

Absolutely. That is sad.

[Woody Overton]

Somebody, I mean she, she was pregnant. I don't give a how of in the shape you are. If you're pregnant, you're pregnant.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. She had to potentially shared it with somebody.

[Woody Overton]

Well, I'm sure she's got roommates in an apartment and she's got go to practice for the team. Yeah, I don't get it.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, that's sad. I've got. We're going from young people to man a couple men in an assisted living facility in Florida. All right, so we're going to Princess Gardens assisted living facility in Miami's flagamy neighborhood. And this incident occurred on August 26th of this year and there was an emergency call regarding a physical altercation between two of the residents. So what witnesses reported was hearing someone cry out he's trying to kill me. And they entered the shared room of 79 year old Jerome Babij with his hands tightly around the neck of his 79 year old roommate. And that roommate was later identified as Robert Sadler. And Babij was immediately restrained by nursing staff. But during the intervention of trying to restrain him and get him away from the man he was trying to hurt, Babij kicked the kick, kicked the victim who was lying unresponsive on the floor. And then he grabbed a fire extinguisher and attempted to strike witnesses before being held down until police arrived. So when questioned by police, Babij claimed his roommate had pulled a gun on him. But there was no gun anywhere in the room.

[Woody Overton]

Right.

[Cindy Overton]

So Sadler was quickly. Which was the victim was quickly transported to a nearby hospital. But unfortunately he succumbed to his injuries there and charges were filed against Babij and he was arrested and formally charged with second degree murder. And he was taken into custody at the Miami Dade county jail. And at this time we don't know what plea was entered or if he has legal counsel or anything like that.

[Woody Overton]

Del, that is another fine effed up story. Yeah, right.

[Cindy Overton]

Yep.

[Woody Overton]

So this one's going to be a little bit offbeat, but I could infer There probably was a crime in there somewhere. So let's go to. It's time for worldwide crime. So look, you know, people exercise in different ways, right? Some people run, some people swim, some people bike, some people do all that. Some people just walk. Well, we're going to the Czech Republic and had a lady, she's just walking through the woods, walking through the woods. La di da da da da. Getting in shade, get my little sweat on and. And everything. And she sees what, a bear? Nope. If they have bears over there, they might. I don't know. That's a good question. The A man. Nope. If you guess it, I quit podcasting.

[Cindy Overton]

But then I'm not going to guess.

[Woody Overton]

All right, so she sees a ceramic vase.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, like with a genie in the bottle.

[Woody Overton]

Genie for this. So she's walking along and she sees the ceramic pot. I said a base. It's a ceramic pot. And the. She goes up to it. Naturally. It's in the woods, right? And it's like that. Oh, you know, the Powerball is up to $1.3 billion. Yeah. I had to buy a ticket for a dollar or $2. Think about what we do if we won. But she opens a ceramic pot and it turns into jackpot for her, right? So she was on the walk in the Kutunorisk region of the Czech Republic and she happened upon that roughly 900 year old stash and that was inside the pot. And it was 2,150 medieval silver coins noticed denari. So the they said that while the ceramic pot holding the coins was mostly demolished, the coins themselves remain a rich collection and they are now being processed by experts from the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Prague and the Czech Silver Museum in Kuntahara. So dubbed one of the greatest finds of the last decade. The Institute archaeological archaeologist Philippe Belemski believes discovery is like winning a prize in the lottery, even if someone else was the loser. Said it was probably placed in this place during the first quarter of the 12th century at a time of internal political instability. Means somebody stole hundreds.

[Cindy Overton]

Eleven hundreds.

[Woody Overton]

Yes. Somebody stole that, right? I mean, or hit it because somebody else was going to sell. That's why I'm playing with the crime.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Just wanted to do something a little bit lighter. But he said at that time there were disputes in the country between the members of the premier dynasty and the princely throne of Prague. Stashing the coins in a ceramic container. Container was meant to be a way of keeping them safe. And guess what? The container did its job Even if the owner was never able to return for them, the coins weren't recovered for 900 years.

[Cindy Overton]

How the heck is. Are they still. Are they whole cities get like, bare. Like. I. I don't understand that.

[Woody Overton]

All right, well, according to the experts, that that owner couldn't have been just anyone. Unfortunately for the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries. This says we lack data on the purchasing power of the contemporary coin, but it was a huge amount, unimaginable for an ordinary person, and at the same time, unaffordable. It can be compared to winning a million in the jackpot. So this Cutting horse region was known for frequent battles for the Prague princely throne, with the armies of the individual rival princes repeatedly marching through the area. And the experts claimed that a large collection of coins found in such a place could mean that they were originally meant to pay wages for soldiers or some sort of war booty. Right. Early analysis of hall shows both that the coins were minted in several places throughout the Cutting Horse region and that they were likely created on the rule of three different Primsyl leaders between 1085 and 1107, which is King Barista II and Princess Breast of the Second Borehave. Anyway, so the coins were most likely minted in the product meant from silver that was imported to Bohemia at the time. And the coins are made from a silver alloy that included copper, lead, and traces of other materials. Experts hope to figure out the exact composition coins. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The pretty interesting there. So always, you know, watch every treasure show ever made. The good ones, the bad ones, whatever. So. And. But most of them, they're always out, like, searching for this treasure, you know, whatever. I'm like, come on, man. If. If I'm Jesse James and I rob a stage coach for a million dollars worth of gold, they always said that, like, they hit it and. And they didn't get to come back for him. You. I' sure I'm coming back. Yeah, yeah. The. Or I'm taking it with me.

[Cindy Overton]

I was thinking you would take it with you.

[Cindy Overton]

That's what I was thinking. And that there's not leaves and tree limbs.

[Woody Overton]

Years. But that evidently it hadn't been moved because it was, like, falling apart.

[Cindy Overton]

That's crazy.

[Woody Overton]

That's the luck of my part. Hey, buy us a Powerball ticket.

[Cindy Overton]

You didn't find it.

[Woody Overton]

It's today's Tuesday. Choose. No, Wednesday. Right. Today's Powerball day. Y' all go get your Powerball tickets. If I win, I give you half. You win, you give me half. No.

[Cindy Overton]

You talking to me.

[Woody Overton]

No, I'm talking to the world. No. Increase their chances. I'm not greedy. I'll split. After taxes is probably going to be. By the time it maxes out, it'll probably be a billion dollars after taxes. Well, then everybody take 500 million.

[Cindy Overton]

Might get a penny. We'll give them a certain amount of time for them to come collect and they split their half, whoever the collecting group is. And it's probably going to be half a cent, a penny.

[Woody Overton]

No, there's not going to be two winning tickets.

[Cindy Overton]

You're splitting your winnings.

[Woody Overton]

No, listen, we may not win. That's the beauty of it. Say I'm gonna buy 10 tickets. You buy 10 tickets. Let's say last time I got big Miss Wayne, I stopped in Mississippi and we got a hundred dollars each. He won, we got half. We won, he got half.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So we may win and have to. Oh, I see what you're saying. All of them are gonna come forward and say, never mind. Yeah, that doesn't really work. Woody didn't think that out so well.

[Cindy Overton]

If they prove that they bought a.

[Woody Overton]

Ticket, well, fuck, the whole world could come and get it then, like you said. No. They have to buy a ticket specifically to enter an agreement with us so they can give us half.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, so your idea makes sense. They have to buy a ticket to enter the enter the agreement. We. We get half of their ticket. No one else does. They get their half, we get their half. It doesn't really benefit them because they have to share their half with everybody.

[Woody Overton]

How are you gonna spot tickets?

[Cindy Overton]

Show me your ticket.

[Woody Overton]

That doesn't work for a half a half a billion dollars. People would be like you. I ain't showing you. I was going to split Woody and Cindy, but I'm gonna keep the hundred.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't play. Exactly.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. So anyway, you can DX those thoughts or whatever that is.

[Cindy Overton]

Would you like them boomed out?

[Woody Overton]

No, I just. I do. Well, that's really. Doesn't work.

[Cindy Overton]

What was that record scratch a rewind.

[Woody Overton]

So there you have that. All right, what you got?

[Cindy Overton]

I'm gonna go to Houston H Town.

[Woody Overton]

Harrison County, Homalia Marie, who we hope her tribe is doing better.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh my gosh, I hope so. That's. Yes. Prayers to for her people.

[Woody Overton]

Right.

[Cindy Overton]

So we're going to July 17th. And there was two brothers in a backyard and they were.

[Woody Overton]

Is this a family matters?

[Cindy Overton]

I'm sorry? Yes, it's a family matters. It's not really a family matters. It's really not. When you hear this story, you'll understand. So we have 18 year old Emmanuel Menchaca and his 12 year old brother in the backyard and they were burying their guinea pig, Cookie.

[Woody Overton]

Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

And all of a sudden gunfire starts and the brothers were running inside when Emmanuel was shot in the back. They heard the gunfire, they start running to go back inside. Emmanuel gets shot in the back and he's struck three times and he has severe internal injuries, a punctured diaphragm, a liver laceration and lung damage. He was hospitalized in the ICU for over two weeks with part of that time spent on a ventilator. Surveillance footage because everybody has ring cameras and street, you know, all that now.

[Woody Overton]

Cell phones and everything.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. Captured the moment. And the younger brother flinched as two shots rang out and Emmanuel collapsed, but managed to get up and run to the front door. And his brother hid behind a parked car before both were able to run inside. The suspect was their neighbor, John Martin Dixon, and he was identified very quickly. However, charges were not filed on against him or whatever until. Until August 8th. So this happened on July 17th and not until August 8th. And so it was nearly three weeks after the shooting. And so Dixon was arrested on August 25 and now faces two charges of aggravated assault. The family has expressed delay, expressed frustration in the delay of the arrest because law enforcement quickly knew who the guy was and they actually had to get a advocate to come in, like for immigrants, like an immigrant type of advocacy agency to come in and help get the arrest. The advocates criticized the pace of the investigation and called for charges to be upgraded if a motive is uncovered. So I don't have any more information on that because basically the, you know, arrest just happened, but hopefully he does time.

[Woody Overton]

Cookie.

[Cindy Overton]

I know. Poor guinea pig Cookie.

[Woody Overton]

MARY N. Guinea pig Cookie. Here it comes. It's time for worldwide Crime and truthfully this one is kind of a foreign family matters. So we are going across the pond to the UK and they got a 15 year old there who's in a world of trouble. And this just goes to prove that you don't need firearms to kill people or want to kill people. 15 year old. And guess he proudly claims to be what.

[Cindy Overton]

I have no idea.

[Woody Overton]

A Nazi. So he's a 15 year old self proclaimed Nazi and he got a stash of deadly weapons and discussed whether to shoot up his school. And this has all been heard in a court. The youth is from near Market Drayton which is in Shropshire and he pled guilty to having a butterfly knife, a stun gun, a baton and a crossbow at his home last November. Stay with me. He also admitted to having terrorist information relating to manifestos of those who went on to commit terror acts like you know, Columbine and everything else. Right. But on Friday and they won't course won't give his name because he's a kid, but not a kid, is he? So whatever. On Friday he hasn't been identified. He appeared at the Old Bailey to be sentenced. Now you think it would be bad enough for him but let me tell you the rest of the story when he gets to court, hears how the teenager and he does have autism, I don't know what level but he had developed an interest in mass attacks and he expressed a desire to carry out his own copycat killings while he got this hoard of weapons. And and so police first raided his home and seized the weapon that the ones he had chat about online. Right. And they seized weapons and he had already chatted about whether to shoot up a school with a modified air pistol and all that. But they said he also attempted to make cricket bombs.

[Cindy Overton]

What's a cricket bomb?

[Woody Overton]

Something that blows up. But he didn't have any success for that. And while out on bail he downloaded a manual on how to make napalm. You know what that is? Yeah. Gasoline in jail form. Right. And a self loading pistol after he's out on out of jail. So prosecutor James Bruce told the court it is clear in his own words that do demonstrate a motivation that is racial and ideological and steeped in far right ideology. But although the violence was never far from his mind, the defendant lacked the means to act on his thoughts according to prosecutor and but this is where it gets family matters. So the West Mercer police first visited boy's home early last November and found him unkempt and living in the annex of his parents property. They Said a large array of weapons were seized including three crossbows with bolts. And the bolts are just arrows. Six air weapons, a red samurai sword, six knives, a stun gun and a tactical vest bearing a far right symbol Nazi. So the examination of his computer and shit and his phone showed he had practiced with the samurai sword and had fired one of the crossbows into a coconut symbolizing the human head. Huh. Two days. Two days after the police raided his shit. In the two days he gets out, right? The kid goes back and searches the Internet for can a 50 pound crossbow kill a human? Wait, this was going to get you. And within days his mother bought him a crossbow pistol with a 50 pound draw weight. They already arrested your kid for wanting to kill everybody. And he comes back to you and says he researched and knows 50 pound will kill it. And so she buys him one. So guess what? The cops return two weeks later and sees more weapons. Right. In a police interview, the youth explained his computer activity by saying he had an interest in history and had a black sense of humor. He was released on bail on condition he had no unsupervised Internet access and did not buy any more weapons. Now is agreed with local authority that he had moved back into his parents main house instead of the annex. I guess, right. He was referred to the prevent de radicalization program and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. But here we go. Police went back to carry out a bail check. I guess like probation for us. On January 22 they found him still living in annex and he had a new Internet device fought for him by his mother. Yeah, he had used it to log into chats about crossbows and so called Islamic State beheading videos and discussions about school shootings. He needs to be locked up.

[Cindy Overton]

So does his mom.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, right. So they did locked him up in Felt Ham Young Offenders Institution where in March officers guess what, found and confiscated a homemade weapon. He made a shank. A further examination of his electronic devices revealed his fascination with weapons and death and killing dated back to 2023. So when he went 13 in a WhatsApp chat with a girl, he spoke of wanting to carry out a mass shooting and die at the end of it, saying voices were telling him to kill. He said I want to kill so badly, watching pathetic maggots die arouses me.

[Cindy Overton]

That's just sad.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. And he wrote that April 20, which is Adolf Hilton Hitler's birthday was to be his death day and said that he would kill lots of people with a taser knife and much, much more. He named his Own school and two other schools on the Isle of. Right. And although there was no evidence he'd ever actually been to the other schools. For the prosecutor noted the death day, the defendant identified came and went without incident. Police also uncovered the video of the defendant displaying a crossbow and a flag. In the footage, he said, embarrassed because I'm a Nazi. Look, I got my crossbow for killing Jews. Ha ha. I'm a Nazi. Right. Another video showed him practicing, thrusting a knife and saying, it's an illegal knife. My knife is meant for murder. I know how to use it. The court heard the defendant had marked his weapons with names of infamous bombers and gunmen, as well as the words born to. This was going to do it. Sooner or later. The fantasy wouldn't have worked anymore. Right. And that's why we don't say these names because of copycats like this. Prosecutor said careful consideration was made by the Crown on whether to charge the defendant with preparation of terrorist acts. But it was decided that would not be in the public interest in mitigation. Dominic Thomas said the defendants had become. The defendant had become isolated during the pandemic and was being bullied at school. Lots of people get bullied at school and don't.

[Cindy Overton]

And everybody is isolated during the pandemic.

[Woody Overton]

Right. And they said the youth have become fixated and obsessed after falling down a hole of anger and extremism on the Internet. And while he accepted there were several expressions of attendant violence at his hand, he never crossed the line from fantasy into action. Yeah, it was coming. Y' all got lucky. And the. The kids. Well, the youth says that he was only pretending as a way of coping with the bullying he experienced.

[Cindy Overton]

So then he would have put his bullies names on the thing. He would have. I mean, whatever. I know. I mean, I'm not.

[Woody Overton]

How about his mama?

[Cindy Overton]

I know.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, he's been arrested. Yeah. You know what he got arrested for? He. He's saying, I'm a Nazi. I'm going to kill Jews. I'm going to kill maggots. That gives me a hard on. What, Thinking about them dying. And he gets out and you buy more.

[Cindy Overton]

So in the States, would she be held responsible? What? Would she.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, she'd be arrested. I don't know. Being a bad mama.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Right.

[Cindy Overton]

So there's like a. Like a statute. Bad mama.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Being a dumbass. Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

That's horrible. Well, you want to just stay over there? Stay.

[Woody Overton]

Sure. Back across. Yep, let's go back across. It's time for worldwide crime.

[Cindy Overton]

This last weekend we had, like you said, the kids here, which I know aren't kids, they're in their mid-20s, but they also have a friend with them.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

And they wanted Mexican food. Although we had fried cod and cheese.

[Woody Overton]

Curds shout out to Wisconsin. That was a Wisconsin meal. Straight up. All them dudes brought down Shane and.

[Cindy Overton]

Them and I fried bell peppers and French fries.

[Woody Overton]

Those were really good.

[Cindy Overton]

So we had all of that. But the next day they aren't like us. We were ready to eat the leftovers and they didn't want it, right?

[Woody Overton]

Yep.

[Cindy Overton]

So they got Mommy's, which is the local Mexican place. And one of the girls that was here was like, I wouldn't care. This is so good. I wouldn't care to know that I was eating cat right now. Like, she was like, you know, like. But so that kind of reminded me of this, which is sick. But we're in South London and residents near Walworth Road were complaining about a foul stench coming from a shop. And trading standards officers investigated and discovered an illegally operated cutting facility behind an east street premises. Workers were found cutting, skinning, washing and portioning tainted raw poultry. And it was, you know what? Raw poultry, it was all grimy, slimy.

[Woody Overton]

I did.

[Cindy Overton]

And it was all under unregistered conditions. So the meat in question was nearly 1.9 tons.

[Woody Overton]

Holy shit.

[Cindy Overton]

Of animal byproducts including whole and cut chickens, lamb's testicles and beef burgers. And they were found to be improperly handled. And this meat had been deemed obviously unsafe for human consumption and was supposed to be used for pet food or discarded entirely. And I'm sorry, I'm not feeding our pets any of that.

[Woody Overton]

But you think you aren't.

[Cindy Overton]

You think you aren't, right? However, this meat that was deemed improper for human consumption was being prepared to be sold to the public. So the investigation traced the meat back to a man named Anthony Fear and he was 63 years old and his company is called Fears Animal Products Ltd. And it's in Somerset and it collected these types of byproducts and he supplied these byproducts to Azar Irshad and he was 40 and another butcher, halal butcher in South London, who brought the meat to the filthy cutting room. And ishraad had made 16 trips because it's 1.9 tons during this scheme facilitating the diversion of unsafe meat into the human food chain. So after a 12 week trial at the Inner London Crown Court, Anthony Fear was convicted of conspiring to defraud and received a 42 month prison sentence and was disqualified from acting as A company director for six years.

[Woody Overton]

You think?

[Cindy Overton]

I don't think that's long enough. But the judge described him as a greedy man driven by profit without regard for consequences. Now, Azar Ishra pleaded guilty to conspiracy and multiple regulatory offenses. And he was sentenced to 35 months for the conspiracy and an additional six month concurrent sentences for the regulatory breaches. He also received a criminal behavior order barring him from involvement in the food industry, thank goodness.

[Woody Overton]

Fuck that motherfucker. Think about how long he got away with.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. You don't just start off with 1.9 tons. So mark Hooper was the manager at Fear's company, and he received a two year suspended sentence plus 200 hours of community service. And then the landlord of the facility where they were doing this was their cutting site was also given a six month suspended sentence order to complete 150 hours of unpaid work and pay €5,000 in costs.

[Woody Overton]

Same about all those people they fed. Thought they were getting a deal on some cheap meat. Meat.

[Cindy Overton]

And so the National Food Crime Unit, the nfcu, emphasized that the sentencing sends a clear message there is no place for such criminal activity in our food system. And it goes on a little bit, but Jesus.

[Woody Overton]

That is exactly why if I don't kill a catcher cleaner, we don't eat it.

[Cindy Overton]

That's exactly right.

[Woody Overton]

And that is a shame. All those people are wondering, did I eat some rotten meat? Yeah, right. Well, you don't worry about it. I have never eaten this next meat, but I intend to. I'm gonna try to play a video for y', all, and if it doesn't work it soon, you can boom it out. So the video is played twice. And I'm gonna tell you what it is. Hold on. These got it wrong. All right, so that what it is. They got this guy going to his house and he's locking the door and he's going outside and this black thing comes running around him, right? And they said, it's a bear.

[Cindy Overton]

Doesn't sound like a bear.

[Woody Overton]

It's a hug. I just watched it. Yeah, they just got it wrong. So Florida man went toe to toe with a black bear and lived to tell about it and share the video of the dangerous encounter. Look, I'm no world professional or whatever they call bar ologist, but that was no bear. That was a wild hog. I am a hogologist and I've had the disease to prove it. At about 4am on Aug. 15, Alexander Rojas, who's 23, was confronted by a pair of juvenile black bears in his front yard as he was leaving his Apaca, Florida home and the ring. Camera footage showed the technician locking his door before he noticed the loud cub approaching him and he panicked and yelled and yelled at the animal. That is a hog. I saw it all right. But anyway, the bear bit Rojas arm and clawed his ribs before he managed to get away. This cord to gofundme page started by a sister then better check for diagnosis, right? So he said I had three immediate options. Attempt to open the door while a bear was still within five feet. I could run left where another bear of similar size was approximately 30ft away or run right to toward the woods where the mother bear could potentially be. And this is what he settled.

[Cindy Overton]

This is like you getting attacked by a panther, right?

[Woody Overton]

All right. Forced to make a life or death decision, Alexander Rojas said he managed to evade both bears by hurtling over a vehicle and dashing further down the street. Right. It's not that's called. You said he was. He's the oldest defense known to man. He hauled ass right though actually you ran like a little. So it says for some odd reason he turned around and did more stutter steps towards me and bit my arm and then clawed my rib cage. He said. I was able to kick his feet out and knock him in the nose. So I still y', all, it's a. It's a hog. Alexander Rojas was treated and released at a local hospital and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a release the agency responded to the area on August 21st and tried to trap the bear, but they couldn't find a bear. They found a hog because it was hogs. He was treated for injuries to his left arm and left side of his abdomen, he said. He said he is seeking donations to help with medical bills prompted by stitches and possible nerve and tendon damage to his forearm. Sure, the more money gets donated, the more he'll be injured, he said. My arm is currently very uncomfortable and my hands feel really weak. That's what he told USA TODAY over a text message. He said his next medical appointment is scheduled for September 4th. Now here we go. Bears are typically quiet and shy animals and attacks are very rare because it wasn't a bear attack. This, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said bears are still wild animals and could seriously harm or kill people if they feel threatened or if they are protecting their young. In May, an 89 year old man and his dog were found dead in Collier county near Naples after what Florida officials say is the first fatal bear attack in the state's Recorded history. Several more sightings encounters have been reported this year. Now, here's a public service announcement. You ready? What do I do if a bear approaches me? Should you encounter a bear and it doesn't move away, the Florida Whatever cops commission recommends remaining standing upright and speaking to the bear in a calm, assertive voice. All right, back up slowly towards the secure area. But be sure to leave the bear a clear escape route. Stop if moving away seems to irritate the bear. Here are reminders on what to avoid if someone encounters a bear in a. Don't make any sudden or abrupt movements. Running. Running can trigger a chase instinct. And bears can sprint up to 35 miles an hour playing dead. Black bears eat things that play dead or are dead. Climbing a tree. Black bears can climb a hundred feet up a tree in 30 seconds, making eye contact. Bears and other animals may view this as aggressive behavior. It's like you're in prison.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, right.

[Woody Overton]

Approaching or surprising the bear. I mean, bruh, if you see a bear and he's eating some whatever, you're going to run up and try and tickle him. Yeah. I mean, anyway, it. It goes on and on and on about how you should put your garbage up. How. How can you avoid bear encounters. You know, all common sense. And I'm telling you, I'm gonna watch it one more time. I'm telling you. Tell me. Not only did it look like a hog, it sounded like Hulk. Sounded like a hog. Look like a hoe.

[Cindy Overton]

Can you pull up a bear sound?

[Woody Overton]

No, I can't say that. Some artificial intelligence has its limitations.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

Make the sound of a bear cub.

[Cindy Overton]

Here's what I found.

[Woody Overton]

This standing right next to the bear on his porch. I mean, the bear can't be a half foot from him.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, Damn.

[Woody Overton]

He's talking to him. And he got two babies that. Yeah, that's kind of gets eaten. Yeah, he's talking to little babies. Yeah. Come on. Come on over here. Let me pet you. Yeah, Mama won't eat me. That bear's got to be £300.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Had made a sound yet. Yeah, that definitely is not the sound. Nothing, y'. All.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, definitely not the same as the hog.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, that's a hog. And I see him all the time, deal with them all the time. Had the unfortunate circumstances of being the only person in the United States of America to catch brucellosis that year. Anyway, there you have it. That's enough true crime time for this Wednesday, right? You got anything?

[Cindy Overton]

No.

[Woody Overton]

We'll holler y' all later. I'm Woody Overton I'm Cindy Overton. I'll let you later. Peace.
