A criminal mastermind living in The Villages, Florida was arrested and booked on charges of hit and run, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and driving while license suspended after he crashed an Infiniti SUV into a lamppost, threw a gun over a nearby fence, and ran away from the scene, but then returned because he wanted to try to find a gold necklace he dropped following the crash in nearby Summerfield, Villages-News reports.
It was early last Thursday when, immediately following the crash, 51 year-old Timothy Harold Barnhorst was seen tossing a dark object over the fence by a neighbor awoken by the loud crash. A Marion County deputy was investigating the scene when Barnohorst approached saying he was looking for the necklace. Whether this was on the ground or in the car was not stated, but either way the deputy quickly placed Barnhorst under arrest for driving with a suspended license. Then they found the meth. Then the gun on the ground behind the fence. So yeah, Timmy’s in big trouble.
Being a convicted felon, Barnhorst isn’t eligible to vote so there’s no registration data on him. His 83 year-old mom, Linda, who he lives with in the Villages, is however a registered Republican.
