The Orlando Police Beatnew
May 13, 1:08 a.m.: Swear to God, I once saw a porno that started exactly like this: "On the above date and time, two male suspects entered the residence and duct-taped the victim." No porny goodness here, though. The two guys -- described as "possibly Jamaican," for what it's worth -- just stole "various items" and left. Booooooring.
