Pasco deputies: Evicted stepson left parting gift on the porch

NEW PORT RICHEY – A 19-year-old man was served an eviction notice and led away in handcuffs Monday afternoon after, deputies say, he pushed his stepfather and pooped on the porch.

Jorge Jonathan Cruz-Blanco was mad because he knew the eviction notice was coming, his stepfather told deputies, according to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report. Kenneth Pangborn said his stepson didn't have a job and wasn't going to school, so he was kicking him out. The report said Cruz-Blanco threw things around the house and shoved 72-year-old Pangborn to the ground. Cruz-Blanco stepped outside to wait for deputies when he heard Pangborn calling 911.

When they arrived, Cruz-Blanco explained that he had to use the bathroom while he was waiting, so he pulled down his pants and left the mess on the porch.

Cruz-Blanco, of New Port Richey, was arrested on a charge of battery on a person over 65. He remained Tuesday at the Land O'Lakes jail without bail.
