A 19-year-old man is facing grand theft charges after he was seen stuffing rifles down his pants at a pawn shop in Davie, according to court records.

Marlon Paul Alvarez, of Fort Lauderdale, made his first appearance in court Wednesday where Broward Judge John Hurley expressed concern about Alvarez's behavior.

"You allegedly went into that pawn shop and removed an AK-47 rifle on display and stuck it down your pants," the judge read from the arrest report. "After a while, [you] pulled it out, put it back, then grabbed another assault rifle off another display [and] put that down your pants."

The owner of Public Pawn and Gun at 6798 Stirling Rd. noticed Alvarez limping out of the store with the assault rifle down his pant leg about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, police said.

MANATEE — A Bradenton man, accused of having a personal vendetta against a friend, was charged with felony criminal mischief after deputies said he smashed the windows out of a car, according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.

Ryan T. Smith, 22, was arrested at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 300 block of Cape Harbour Loop, deputies said.

The victim, who knows Smith, told deputies he was at home when he heard a car door outside his bedroom window. The victim said Smith began smashing the windows of a vehicle with a baseball bat but it wasn't that of the intended victim, who drives a similar make, model and color vehicle to his neighbor's vehicle.

The victim told deputies Smith has a personal vendetta against him. The friend later wrote on his Facebook page Smith smashed his neighbor’s car because he thought it was his.

LEXINGTON — Driving a mower off the lot landed a Cozad man deep in the weeds with law enforcement.

Gursham D. Gillett, 49, was arrested Wednesday after allegedly stealing a riding lawn mower from Wal-Mart last weekend. He has been charged with one count of theft by shoplifting, a Class IV felony, and one count of criminal mischief, a Class II misdemeanor in Dawson County Court.

According to court records, police were notified of the theft of a Murray brand lawn mower from the Wal-Mart at 200 Frontier Street in Lexington early Saturday.

Security footage from early Saturday morning revealed that the suspect had entered the store and fueled up the lawn mower before cutting the retaining chain link fence where the mower was stored. He then fled on the mower, stopping to cut another fence on Interstate 80 before driving out of view of the camera.
