ST. PETERSBURGMan shot in head survives to tell police of robberyA 31-year-old man said he was robbed and shot early Friday morning as he walked near 15th Avenue S and 22nd Street, according to St. Petersburg police. Sean Gordon Price was able to tell police all about it, even though a bullet struck him in the back of the head. Price flagged down an officer around 2:53 a.m. and said he was shot in the head and robbed of his cell phone, wallet and backpack. Police say he had an exit and entry wound in the back of his head. Price was taken to a hospital for treatment, where he told officers he would recognize his assailants and that he wanted them prosecuted. But so far police don't have a crime scene or any suspects. The shooting has "drug overtones," according to a police spokesman. Police ask anyone with information about the incident to call (727) 893-7780.ST. PETERSBURGTeenager robbed, beaten, shot during home invasionA 17-year-old teenager told police he was pistol-whipped and then shot by two men who broke into his home Thursday night in the 2200 block of 21st Street S. The youth said he was playing video games in his room around 10 p.m. when he heard a loud bang in the rear of the house. He walked out of his room and saw two men entering his home through the back door. One man wielded a large revolver, the teen said. The teen said he tried to run for the front door, but one suspect grabbed him and they started fighting. The two suspects then rifled through the house, the teen said, looking for cash. The teen emptied his pockets. But as the suspects left, the teen chased them. That's when the armed suspect shot the teen in the left leg, police say. St. Petersburg police ask anyone with information about the incident to call (727) 893-7780.New Port Richey3 charged with burglary of boats along Pasco coastSince January, at least 60 boats have been pillaged off the Pasco County coast. Sometimes, the thieves get on board, steal what they can and run. Often, they take the whole boat— stripping it of what they want and then sinking it, leaving it to rot. Three people, including a Pinellas Park man, have been accused of committing the crimes so far, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. Spokesman Kevin Doll said more arrests are expected as detectives continue to investigate. Arrested were Luis E. Perez, 28, of Port Richey, charged with one count of grand theft; Jonathon "Jon Jon" Stone, 22, of Pinellas Park, charged with burglary, criminal mischief, grand theft and violating his probation; and Kevin A. Roach, 20, of New Port Richey, charged with burglary, possession of burglary tools, criminal mischief, grand theft and violating probation.

HUDSON
Caregiver accused of stealing $3,415
Paula R. Sanders, a 31-year-old in-home caregiver, swindled more than $3,400 from an elderly patient last year, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday. Sanders, who lives at 9201 Ledgestone Lane in Port Richey, worked for a company called Visiting Angels, which placed caregivers with those needing assistance. Sanders provided full-time living assistance for her 84-year-old patient, who suffered from dementia and lived in Hudson, a report says. Sanders took four checks from the patient — totalling $3,415 — and used some of the money to pay for her apartment lease, the report states. Sanders was arrested Monday and is charged with exploitation of the elderly. As of Tuesday, she was being held in the Land O'Lakes jail in lieu of $5,000 bail. A call to Visiting Angels headquarters was not returned Tuesday. Sanders lists herself as unemployed.

Board votes to give teacher back pay
Jeffrey Bush won his Pasco County teaching job back more than a month ago. Now he'll collect his lost pay, too. The Pasco School Board on Tuesday rejected Superintendent Heather Fiorentino's recommendation that Bush not receive the nine months of pay he lost while suspended awaiting his disciplinary hearing. Bush was accused of manhandling a student who made crude comments about Bush's wife. "I don't believe we talked about the charging document," board member Joanne Hurley said. "And I do not believe the evidence supports those two charges." Only chairman Frank Parker disagreed. "He was suspended without pay. He openly admitted that he grabbed a student … (and) dumped a chair," Parker said. "That's basically what the allegations were."
