Florida Man Arrested for Aggravated Assault Threatening Neighbor with Knife

In Florida, three separate incidents highlight community safety concerns involving threatening behavior. In Boca Raton, Santiago Cairo, a homeowner, was arrested for aggravated assault with a firearm after confronting a 14-year-old prankster who was ding-dong ditching, with conflicting reports about whether Cairo pointed the gun at the teen. In The Villages, tenant Lisa Ruth Powers was arrested on felony battery and resisting arrest charges following an altercation with her landlady. In Putnam County, Minor Catledge was taken into custody after threatening his neighbor and her dog with knives during a property dispute, including a bizarre threat to "eat her dog," and further threatening violence against the neighbor and her family during his arrest. Authorities have responded to these incidents with arrests and charges, reflecting ongoing tensions and disputes in these Florida communities.
