Love can make people do irrationally stupid things.
Take Deniz ( pronounced 'Denise' ) Martinez, for example.
Martinez lives in Lake Wales, Florida with her boyfriend, Jason Drake. Drake is on probation for an unspecified crime and has to submit to urine testing when he reports to his probation officer. Martinez dropped Drake off for a scheduled meeting last month at the County Probation and Parole office in Winter Haven, where Drake told his PO that he couldn't summon enough fluid from his bladder for the urinalysis; the PO told Drake that he would have to detain him until he could pee a sufficient amount for testing.
Enter Martinez. Drake had communicated to her that his urine sample would be 'dirty' and was delaying the process. Martinez, in an effort to get her lover out of having to submit urine, then called the Winter Haven Police Department and told them a man was standing outside the probation building with a bomb, who intended to detonate it inside the building.
She called from her personal cell phone. The same cell phone that's listed as an emergency contact on Jason Drake's probation paperwork.
The building was evacuated and searched by WHPD's bomb squad and given the 'all clear'. Martinez was later located at the residence she shares with Drake and arrested on a felony bomb threat; her boyfriend was also arrested for probation violation due to failing to submit a urine sample.
Then there's Brian Crume, also of Winter Haven.
Crume entered a local WalMart and shoplifted several packages of wiring. Store security caught him leaving without paying for the items and he was arrested.
When asked why he'd committed the crime, Crume responded by saying he was trying to raise enough cash to post bail for his jailed girlfriend....
....who was in jail for shoplifting.
