Crystal Lake is, surprisingly, not in Florida.

We do have a Crystal River though.  :-)

A Crystal River, Florida man was arrested Thursday after deputies accused him of leaning into the driver’s side of a Citrus County sheriff’s patrol car and shifting the vehicle into drive, an arrest report said.

Deputies were at the Crystal Acres Mobile Home Park off State Road 44 just east of Crystal River investigating a traffic case.

Deputies said Carl William Pottschmidt, 32, a park resident, shifted the car into drive and caused it to make contact with another Sheriff’s Office vehicle, the report said. Both vehicles sustained minor damage.

Pottschmidt, who was reportedly intoxicated, told law authorities someone dared him to do what he did.

Pottschmidt remained at the Citrus County jail Friday afternoon with bail set at $5,000.

He was held on charges of burglary of an unarmed, unoccupied vehicle and criminal mischief.
