PASCO COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – A Port Richey Florida man was arrested after deputies found him walking around with a machete hidden in his removable leg cast.
The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a trespasser who was walking around with a machete at Days Inn on 10826 U.S. Highway 19 in Port Richey and found a Florida man who matched the suspect’s description.
Deputies stopped Daniel Besuglow, 25, and asked if he was carrying a machete. Besuglow then removed the weapon from a removable cast on his left leg. Deputies also found a scale and three small baggies with a white crystallized substance that later tested positive for methamphetamine.
