An argument between two homeless men living in an abandoned building in the Fort Walton Beach area led to one man stabbing the other twice in the back. 58-year-old Randall Wayne Anderson is charged by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office with

Deputies were called to 610 North Eglin Parkway around 6:20 p.m. Thursday evening. 54-year old Anthony Davis had been stabbed twice. They found the suspect and a 12 inch kitchen knife at the scene. Anderson said he’d done nothing and that Davis had just fallen.

DFS Meeting

Darryl Maybron came before the DeFuniak Springs City Council and said when the city condemned his house on Wabash Avenue, he was denied due process and the right to use his property. He said this has made him homeless. He said he tried to discuss the matter with staff, but they would not respond. Attorney Clayton Adkinson said the house was in a condition that violated the codes and if corrections are made, then the house can be made habitable again. He was told it needs water, sewer, power, windows and doors as well as other work to make the house livable. Couicl member Kermit Wright asked staff to supply Maybron with a list of corrections needed and to copy him.

Council member Wayne Graham asked to go into emergency spending mode. He said everything would have to be approved by the city manager or the assistant city manager. They would only buy items they absolutely need. The attorney suggested not calling it emergency spending, rather state that all spending will have to be approved by the city manager. Council agreed. This will take place until the end of September.

The city has been in negotiations about a airport hanger resident and whether or not there is a lease. The FAA likely will give a permit to only fly the plane to Crestview. He will take out the other equipment including a boat. The plane has not been flown in three years and needs FAA approval before being used regularly again. It currently is reported to have flat tires.

Mac Work said there have been complaints of people coming up and asking for money. He said they come up when people are on the streets or in private parking lots and ask for money or food. He said some have become obnoxious. He said some people can not understand the word no. Diane Howell said when you are disabled, they target you and are becoming aggressive.

Council member Work pointed out the utilities alone on the Chautauqua Building and the Community Center costing about $5,000 more than any expected rent. He said they have to charge something for everyone who uses the facilities. Work said they have to at least break even. Kelley agreed and said he does not want to penalize the groups, saying they have merit.

Work suggested, when a position is not filled and when a position is needed elsewhere, then they should consider swapping the position and moving the funding from the empty position to the needed position. Work cited the phase three water and sewer project as a need. He said, if there is a position not filled, then they should fill the needed position elsewhere.
