| [ABC] A Florida mayor, who was accused of practicing medicine without a license, was arrested on Thursday after he allegedly fired shots at deputies who were attempting to serve a search warrant, according to police. Port Richey Mayor Dale Massad was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted homicide after he allegedly shot at two sheriff's deputies at his home in central Florida, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said. Massad, 68, also faces charges of practicing medicine without a license. There were no injuries reported and the deputies did not return fire, according to the sheriff's office. Massad is a known drug user with a history of violence, said Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco. He was elected mayor of Port Richey, which is located about 40 miles north of Tampa, in 2015. |

| #5 Massad, 68, also faces charges of practicing medicine without a license. I've only recently found out that my free manual mammograms is not "technically legal" |

| #2 I was a bit confused. No mention of his party affiliation had me thinking "guess the party." However, he is a registered Republican. Of course, in Florida, you can go the "no party affiliation" route. Of course, your county republican party's voter guide will strip that ploy away at election time. |
