Meth smoking in Florida, a man attacks the mattress in a jealous rage, say MPs

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) – A seemingly hallucinating Florida man used a bed amount to attack a mattress where he thought a man was hiding.

In a Facebook post, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office quotes Felipe Oquendo's 37-year-old girlfriend as saying that he would have started behaving erratically early Friday. The girlfriend told MPs that Mr. Oquendo thought he had cheated on a man he thought he had seen in the mattress of their Fort Walton Beach home.

She said that Oquendo had hit the mattress with a bed amount, had it ripped and locked the door of the room. She was able to escape and call the police.

The sheriff's office says that Oquendo later admitted to having smoked methamphetamine.

The prison records do not mention any lawyer for him.
