Florida Man Sentenced For Trying To Poison Ex with Ricin
The man had an elaborate plan.
It’s like a scene right out of Breaking Bad, except Walter White is being played by Florida man this time around. In a bizarre case of attempted poisoning, Florida man was sentenced to 10 years in prison for trying to kill his ex-partner with a toxin derived from castor oil beans called Ricin.
Authorities say 50-year-old Kississimee resident Kevin Dean Jones was investigated for production of ricin after a plot was uncovered involving his ex. Officers say Jones had a plan to produce ricin at home and then travel to his ex’s home to spray it into her face. Ricin is produced from castor oil beans and can kill a human in about 36 to 72 hours. The most famous example of ricin poisoning was seen in the hit Netflix show Breaking Bad With Bryan Cranston as Walter White, when Walter poisoned a woman by replacing the ricin in her sweetener. The woman breifly experienced flu-like symptoms before passing away shortly afterward. There is not currently an antidote for ricin poisoning, and treatment exists only of treating the symptoms brought on by the poisoning.
Investigators from the FBI were able to determine that Jones bought several items to make ricin from the internet. He also bought several water pistols that he planned to use to squirt the poison into the face of his intended victim. Once he had sprayed the woman’s face, he planned to go on a vacation, securing an alibi at the same time. Jones’ plan didn’t work out, as he was stopped while en route to the would-be victim’s home. When officers questioned Jones, he admitted to manufacturing ricin and his plan to travel to another state, spray the woman with the poison and head out on vacation. Officers confiscated several bottle of liquids from the scene, along with a water pistol. The substance was tested and proved to be ricin. Castor beans were also seized at the scene, as well as documents concerning ricin and about 200 rounds of ammunition. Further investigation discovered a cache of weapons and ammunition hidden in a storage locker rented by Jones.
Jones pleaded guilty to possessiung ricin and several firearms, which is illegal because he is a convicted felon. He was found guilty of all charges on Tuesday and sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was also ordered to forfeit his guns. Source: WFLA.com

Jennifer Coolidge is one of Hollywood’s truly funny ladies, with a career spanning 30 years. Coolidge played supporting roles in several comedy movies and guest roles on television, making her first appearance on television in the Seinfeld episode “The Masseuse.” As a voice actress, she played Luanne’s beauty school teacher, Miss Kremzer, for a few episodes on King of the Hill. A few years later, she appeared on Nickelodeon’s As Told By Ginger as a con artist in the series finale episode and most recently, voiced an alien on Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty. At age 61, even if Coolidge isn’t on screen, we can pinpoint her voice by her airy and funny delivery.
In 1999, Coolidge got her big break playing Jeanine Stifler, or “Stifler’s mom” in American Pie, reprising the character in the subsequent sequels. A few years later, Coolidge played yet another iconic character, Paulette Bonafonté, Elle Woods’ manicurist in the Legally Blonde movies.

Coolidge really made waves when she starred in the first two seasons of HBO’s The White Lotus as Tanya McQuoid.

Though her character was ultimately killed off in the second season, we can’t wait to see what the future has to hold for Coolidge. Her latest work is in the Amazon Prime rom-com Shotgun Wedding alongside Jennifer Lopez, Josh Duhamel and Lenny Kravitz. Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (Duhamel) gather their families for a destination wedding, but the ceremony gets put on hold when the entire wedding party gets taken hostage.

Take a look at Jennifer Coolidge’s best movie and tv roles below:
Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny.
That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards.
After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind.
He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex.
He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
