Florida registered sex offender posed as teenagers friends father when he picked girl up and met her



Florida Highway Patrol trooper Toni Schuck joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the decision to risk her own life to stop a drunk driver and her experience being honored at the Patriot Awards in 2022.

A St. Petersburg, Florida, man was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly met a 14-year-old girl online, and traveled to pick her up and take her back to his residence, police said.

The Largo Police Department said officers responded to a report of a 14-year-old runaway in June 2023.

When the officers arrived, they spoke with the girl's parents, who said they recently learned she was secretly talking with a man on Snapchat.

Investigators also learned the man, later identified as 26-year-old Austin Lawrence Powers, picked up the teenager at least once and took her to his residence.

Days later, police said, Powers allegedly picked the girl up again, but this time posed as one of her friend's fathers when he met the victim's mother.

After a further and more extensive investigation, detectives were able to identify the man as Powers, a registered sex offender in Florida.

Powers was previously arrested for a similar incident in Plant City back in 2016.

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking.

You will take birth and you will die and many lives will come and go, and many, many clouds will pass through you. But the inner sky – AKSHAT – remains uncorrupted, virgin. But you can become identified with clouds. You can begin to feel that ”I am the clouds”. Everyone is identified with his own thoughts which are nothing more than clouds. You say, ”my thought,” and if someone attacks your thought, you never feel that your thought is being attacked – you are being attacked. The sky is fighting – fighting for clouds because some cloud has been attacked. The sky feels, ”I am attacked!” The sky was there when there was no cloud, the sky will be there when there is no cloud. Clouds add nothing to the sky. And when clouds are no more, nothing is lost. The sky remains itself totally. This is the nature – the inner sky, the inn...
