BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - Police say a 46-year-old man was
arrested for the 190th time in Florida this week.
Authorities arrested Henry Farrell after he tried to carjack a man outside a Boca Raton coffee shop. Police said Farrell threatened to kill the man after he refused to give Farrell a ride.
Officer Sandra Boonenberg, a police spokeswoman, said
authorities have spent years dealing with Farrell, who "lives
locally and apparently likes Boca Raton."
Farrell is being held without bond on charges of carjacking,
possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.
The man's mother says her son has struggled with severe mental
illness since his teens and is diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

HOLY SMOKES, and I thought I had a long RapSheet! If I was him, I’d be throwing a party everyday. If he really has a mental issue that prevents him from making rational decisions, he should be placed in a mental facility for that! NAH, that would be too much like right, just wait around till he kills someone!
