FL Man used squirt gun to shoot neighbor with his urine and vowed to “do it again” after he was nabbed
An irate, pee-brained Florida man filled up a squirt gun with his own urine and blasted a neighbor several times as she walked her dog — and vowed to “do it again” after he was nabbed, police said.
Joel William Benjamin, 71, is facing a misdemeanor battery charge after his Saturday arrest at an apartment complex in Gulfport, where he spotted the unidentified woman walking her dog and “approached the victim and pulled out a water gun that contained his own urine,” according to an arrest report obtained by the Tampa Bay Times.
Benjamin then squirted the woman several times and later told police he would “do it again” if given the chance, according to the arrest report.
It’s unclear what sparked the urine attack, but a source close to the matter told The Smoking Gun that Benjamin may have been aggravated by fellow residents at the Seaside Villas apartment building who do not curb their dogs.
The sickening incident did not “cause bodily harm” to the woman, according to the arrest report.
Benjamin, who has been released from the Pinellas County Jail, could not be immediately reached.

Netflix’s ‘Dogs’: All About This Endearing New Docu-series
Animal lovers, brace yourself. Netflix’s Dogs might just be the thing to break your heart — or make it three-times bigger (Grinch-style).
Just yesterday Netflix dropped the first trailer for a beautiful new docu-series called Dogs. Now, it’s basically exactly what its cutely terse title sounds like; it is a show all about the powerful bond between man and canine. However, the trailer teases that Dogs might be something more than your typical adorable YouTube playlist. Netflix’s new series is going to be a six-part docu-series that will span the globe to tell extraordinary stories about the friendship between people and their beloved dogs.
The Dogs trailer introduces us to a Syrian refugee skyping with his pooch, Zeus, who is still stuck in the war-torn country. The man explains to the audience that he’s going to work to get Zeus out. Elsewhere, an Italian man introduces his Golden Retriever Ice as an integral member of his family — so much so that Ice has to be shushed at the dinner table because he’s “talking” over someone else. The trailer also shows us families hoping to pair their disabled daughter with a service dog who can become her best friend and one Japanese woman who considers her pet dog her “daughter.”
Dogs has an all-star line-up of directors including Amy Berg, Roger Ross Williams, Heidi Ewing, Richard Hankin, and T.J. Martin & Daniel Lindsay. The series was developed by Glen Zipper, who serves as co-executive producer with Amy Berg.
Dogs debuts on Netflix on November 16.

Army vet tied service dog to tree, shot it 5 times at close range
An Army veteran was thrown behind bars Tuesday for allegedly tying her PTSD therapy dog to a tree and shooting him five times at close range — killing the poor pup for no apparent reason while a soldier filmed it.
Marinna Rollins, 23, was arrested by police in Fayetteville, N.C. and charged with animal cruelty and conspiracy after footage of the deranged incident reportedly surfaced on Facebook.
Court documents obtained by the Fayetteville Observer describe how she teamed up with her boyfriend, Jarren Heng, 25, for the seemingly random killing earlier this month.
The couple allegedly led the white-and-gray pit bull to a wooded area before tying him to a tree and taking his life. The canine — dubbed Camboui, but referred to as “Cam” or “Cammy” — was ultimately shot five times with a rifle as Rollins and Heng, who is still enlisted and stationed at Fort Bragg, took turns filming him.
“Let me hit him once,” Heng can be heard saying in the video.
Throughout the disturbing clip, he and Rollins both laugh and joke about the dog’s brutal death before they eventually dump him in a shallow grave.
“That’s his nerves going,” Rollins says, as Camboui’s body begins to convulse.
She and Heng can also be seen drinking alcohol in several pictures that they took before allegedly killing him.
“It’s been real Cammy,” Rollins says while burying him. “I love you, you’re my puppy, you’re a good puppy. But…”
It’s unclear if the pair had been putting Cambouiout of its misery or whether he was suffering from sort of illness at the time of his death — which took place on either April 16 or 17, according to WTVD.
Camboui was reportedly given to Rollins as an emotional support dog after she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues.
In April, the Army vet began writing posts on Facebook in the apparent attempt to find the dog a new home.
According to the Observer, she wrote on April 17 that Camboui would be heading to his new owner soon.
“Sad he has to go, but he will be much happier where he is heading off to,” Rollins reportedly said.
“He’s going to have such a great new life,” Heng replied, adding a smiley face emoji to his post.
A Facebook page, titled “Justice For Cam,” has posted the graphic footage of Camboui being killed, in the attempt to bring more attention to the incident.
“A lot of people are getting upset that this video is posted here,” the moderator wrote Monday.
“You do not have to click play and watch it but let me clarify something. Marinna Rollins is trying to claim that the dog was sick and suffering and that she did this out of Mercy. The video has been shared, to prove otherwise, because we don’t want her to get off easy for the crime she committed. This was clearly not mercy.”
An investigation by Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office and Cumberland County Animal Control ultimately found that Rollins and Heng had both broken the law when they took Cam’s life. It not only turned up the video, but also several text messages of theirs in which they allegedly discussed the shooting.
“As graphic as the videos are, they tell Camboui’s story, that he was unable to do,” the moderators of the “Justice For Cam” page said. “Many people thought he was going to a new home, and family. These videos prove otherwise, that he was brought out to a wooded area, shot multiple times, and then beaten and dragged to a shallow grave. Like a piece of trash, not a well taken care of ESA. His body is still out there, somewhere in those NC woods.”
Rollins’ bail was initially set at $10,000 Tuesday, while Heng’s was set at $5,000 after his arrest on Monday night. But they were both raised to $25,000 following requests from prosecutors.
“They can be heard on the tape laughing and giggling as the dog was being killed,” Cumberland County District Attorney Clark Reaves said Tuesday night during the couple’s first court appearance.
“It was a therapy dog.”
Rollins and Heng have each been charged with animal cruelty and conspiracy. It’s unclear when their next court date is.
