Hot coffee used as a weapon against police officer.

  A  man was arrested Monday after he allegedly threw a hot cup of coffee on a Lake County deputy who had responded to a disturbance between the Mr. Dill and his girlfriend. 


Mr. Dill of Leesburg has been charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct. He is in the Lake County jail in lieu of $5,500 bail.


According to an arrest affidavit, a sheriff’s deputy responded to a location after a call had been made  reporting a woman in a home refused to leave.

Mr. Dill told the deputy he no longer wanted to be with his live-in girlfriend  insisting the deputy kick her out.

  The deputy tried to explain to Mr. Dill he needs to go through the court system to evict her.

Mr. Dill said he was not going through the eviction process and continued to demand that the deputy throw his girlfriend out the home.

   In the affidavit, Mr. Dill's cursing and screaming started attracting the attention of nearby residents.
The affidavit also says that when Mr. Dill allegedly refused the deputy’s orders to stop screaming, and put his cup of coffee down.

Mr. Dill instead allegedly threw the hot coffee at the deputy, which caused a minor burn to the official’s arm.

Mr. Dill was promptly arrested.

No word if the coffee was decaf.

Used coffee grounds can help stop global warming.

  With the environment in the news lately. Here is one you didn't see coming. Used coffee grounds are very good at storing Methane.   Methane is a global warming gas many times more potent that carbon dioxide.With Methane having one advantage over Carbon Dioxide. That is Methane can be used as a fuel.   The process to make this work is relative simple with the moist used coffee grounds being heated with potassium hydroxide.   So who cares you may be asking yourself. While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions.   Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas. The volume of gas is so small that it's uneconomical to lay the needed pipe in order to place this gas into the natural gas lines that heat your home. So this g...
