Compared to places where I used to live the Villages is rather tame as far as domestic disputes and the like are concerned. My street in Reno, Nevada would have more serious police responses than in twenty years than the Villages except for automobile accidents. We have a lot of those.
Palm Harbor also had a lot of serious police events. I used to take care of a couple 's son and mother Westies Chuck and Heather and during one night when they were in town a bank robber had climbed on the roof of the house next door to them and thrown a pistol in the garden in Chuck and Heather 's house. At that time there was a helicopter shining a spotlight on the bank robber and police were in a street a block over.
The bank robber has picked a hell of a neighborhood to hide in as many law enforcement people had bought homes in that subdivision.
This was also close to Carwise Middle School in Palm Harbor. People were worried that some kid would find the weapon the bank robber had tossed aside.
