How many times can one man endanger an entire community with a bucket of nails before being caught? Felix Uresti, a 51-year-old Florida man, was finally arrested after allegedly throwing hundreds of nails into roads on almost 30 different occasions. This chilling pattern of sabotage stretched over five months, impacting residents in Valrico, a community east of Tampa. Deputies ultimately caught Uresti red-handed, exiting his white Toyota Tundra to deposit the dangerous hardware on Miller Road. A subsequent search of his vehicle revealed a large bucket of roofing nails, matching those found at previous incident sites. Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister vehemently condemned these “deliberate and malicious acts,” highlighting the serious danger posed to families, children, and even first responders. Uresti now faces multiple severe charges, including six counts of criminal mischief and throwing a deadly missile. This incredible string of incidents forced an extensive ongoing investigation after the Sheriff’s Office first received alarming reports last September.
