A Florida man with a history of domestic violence was arrested this week as police say that he was on his way to murder his ex-girlfriend, her boyfriend and possibly her child with an assault-style rifle.
According to Flagler Live, the Flagler County dispatcher received a report on Sunday that 24-year-old Andrew Dandurand had an assault rifle, and was planning to kill his ex-girlfriend, and her boyfriend.
In April, Dandurands ex-girlfriend had called deputies after he hit her with a plastic pipe, and then broke into her home, forcing her to flee. The court responded by giving the ex-girlfriend a protection injunction.
But only a week later, Dandurand was back in jail for violating it, and for aggravated assault. He was later released on $7,000 bond.
And then St. Johns County Sheriffs deputies got the call from Flagler County dispatch on Sunday that Dandurand was on the way to kill his ex-girlfriend, and her boyfriend. Sgt. Catherine Payne told WAWS that Dandurand may also have been planning to harm his ex-girlfriends child.
Based on the information we had at hand, absolutely. He was going to victimize somebody, whether it be the girlfriend, her child, the boyfriend or himself, Payne said.

Dandurand led police on a short chase in his pick-up truck until he crashed into a ditch. Police found a loaded Soviet-designed SKS rifle in plain sight. Police believe the rifle was stolen by Dandurand earlier in the day.
He is currently held in Flagler county jail on $500,000 bond.

I wonder who tipped the authorities off.

Florida Man strikes again. I'm just glad the cops picked him up before he got there.

Lovely euphemism.

(2,252 posts)4. Seems like 'victimate' would be more precise...
victimate (third-person singular simple present victimates, present participle victimating, simple past and past participle victimated)
(obsolete) To make a victim of; to sacrifice; to immolate.
Latin - Verb
victimāte
second-person plural present active imperative of victimō

Perhaps there was a death threat, or something close enough, in whatever tip the dispatcher supposedly received.
Maybe the suspect was intent only on being listened to. Maybe no shots would have been fired. I guess we should be glad we'll never know.

That would have gotten him off the hook the way things are going in this country.
