ORLANDO, FLORIDA — Shantele Bennett is running for Senate in Florida’s 11th Congressional District. She has no party affiliation, but she does have experience running for political office — as a candidate for mayor of Orlando in 2019. Remarkably, despite qualifying for that race and raising a bit under $500, she received no votes.
On January 18, 2018, Bennett filed a complaint against Orlando Police Officer Gregory Smith. “Bennett alleged that Officer Smith had conferred with Jeff Ashton to have her charged with First Degree Attempted Murder With a Firearm.”
Bennett’s complaint read: “The officer lacks firmness of moral character and doesn’t work well under pressure. When arrived at the scene he ask me where was the shooter? I informed him I was the person with the gun. He was over hypered and stressed for the lack of integrity that questions moral character and violates company policy, there is a demand that Gregory L. Smith II employment with OPD be terminated.”
Officer Smith’s report tells a different story:
Officer Smith responded to [ ] reference a shooting. He observed a black female wearing a blue shirt and brown pants matching the description of the suspect. Dispatch stated that the female still possessed the weapon on her person. Officer Smith heard Bennett state in a spontaneous utterance “The gun is in my purse.” He ordered her to keep her hands above her head and to not reach for anything. He moved behind her and Officer Metzger arrived as backup.
“Officer Smith holstered his pistol, removed the purse from her arm, and placed her in handcuffs. The black pistol was found in her purse. Officer Metzger transported Bennett to CID for an interview with Detective Conroy.
Once Officer Smith entered the residence with Officer Wilson, he saw the victim sitting on the couch. She had a hole in the front right side of her upper chest above her breast. Witnesses corroborated that Bennett shot Turnbull.
Detective Conroy interviewed Bennett in CID and Officer Smith transported her to BRC with no further incident. Bennett was charged with Attempted Murder in the Second degree with a firearm. This case has not gone to court. There is a current motion for psychiatric examination to determine competency.”
On June 29, 2018, investigators met with Bennett in the OPD lobby, as she wished to provide additional documentation:
1. A letter addressed to then-Chief Mina asking in part for Officer Smith to “be terminated and the Department of Law Enforcement’s Criminal Justice Professionalism Program pursue disciplinary action against his certification for malicious persecution.”
2. A letter to Mina demanding in part that “aggravated stalking charges be filed against Jessica K. Turnball along with charges violated.”
On July 9, 2018, OPD received additional documentation in the form of a letter addressed to “The City of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer” and a copy of an Injunction for Protection between Bennett and the woman Bennett shot, Jessica Turnball.
On July 31, 2018, Bennett completed a Citizen’s Complaint form alleging that then-Chief Mina had violated the Hatch act.
On March 28, 2019, Bennett came into the police department lobby to complete a statement that an OPD officer at the Magic Game was brandishing a weapon. She was advised that a SWAT team is always in attendance at the games, working perimeter security at Orlando Magic Events.
Bennett also wished to document her being “barred” from City Hall in June of 2018 at then-Orlando Police Chief John Mina’s request. She stated Mina was not present, but that she knows the order came from him. She also claims Chief Mina “deprived her character” and wishes to press charges against him.
On April 17, 2019 Bennett filed one citizen complaint alleging that an officer threatened her with his rifle, and another complaint alleging forgery by OPD due to a difference in her original arrest and the charges filed.
On July 14, 2020, Bennett filed for a stalking injunction against OCSO Major Bobby Anzueto, alleging that Anzueto stalked her “all the way to Charleston, SC” and is accessing her computer.
On July 30, 2020, Bennett filed a lawsuit against John Mina, requesting that he be “removed from the 2020 ballot” for “conspiracy, misrepresentation, injurious falsehood, and fraudulent misrepresentation.”
She lost.

You can tell her lawyer or someone told her "keep saying the word 'aggravated' alot, it'll make it seem so much more severe" I do have to admit I feel this cop is being a bit blunt and rude buuuuut I fully accept bias could be clouding my opinion, I mean he has the full story I don't aaaaaaaaaaand it does seem pretty odd that its the lady who pulled the trigger is the one trying to file against the other for 'aggravated" blah blah blah.
I'm also very curious if she actually needs the address of the person to file a restraining order because that would be crazy I mean thats something they for sure would be able to access… tho who knows?? Also also, kinda sounds like she's just salty the woman she shot has a restraining out on HER (which actually does make perfect sense) so now she wants to get something as payback or someshit
lol
She would definitely fit in with current congressional "occupants ".
And people will vote for this woman and others like her just for their skin color. 🤦ðŸ»
yazeeomzaynn
Take her black card away we don’t claim her
This is Gangstalking delusion
Congressional candidate!?
This lady is out of her mind!!!! It's a mental issue?? I tell you what if you shot me I would make sure you saw my face every day. I'm not going to cower down and go hide, what are you a gangster bully??? I hope I will see you getting groceries, at the post office, at the doctor's office. I would want to know where you were at at all times to make sure the person who assaulted me with a deadly weapon is not coming back to finish the job. Who's to say that you're not the stalker???
This is a mental health issue, nothing else!And aside this is rather poor audio
So she's been crazy scene 2012. Got it.
Stupid, rabid ass, waste of law inforcements time, and our money.
What is with people thinking a ladder is some kind of thing police and criminals could reasonable not have access to?
So you are a paranoid schizophrenic and you think a little gang members is hiding in your attic.
Well then you really need some self protection, Mam. You have come to the right place.
Yes of course we can help you pick a suitable gun for your needs, we sell to anybody.
What's that Mam, you shoot someone else before?
Well that just show you it works.
Absolutely that you are qualified to move up a notch now that you have had some real life practice.
Excellent choice Mam, no little gangbanger is gonna dare stay in your attic now when you have that lovely machine gun.
Yes, it really suit your eye color, Mam.
Motion detection antipersonnel mines in garden?
No its not a bad idea at all, Mam. You can never be to safe.
Yes Mam, they will detect even the smallest gang member.
So will there be anything else today, Mam?
Ok thank you. You to, stay safe.
Have a nice safe day now and welcome back when you run low on ammo.
There is no attic. The ceilings are vaulted.
My god its like aunt jemima after Andy leaves for school
The police are mental health workers
Congress class of 2021. She'll probably vote to take guns away.
He needs to get her in touch with metro state protection services. Officer Dewitte would gladly protect her from a non-existent stalker.
They should get this lady help. Its obvious shes paranoid and having delusions
Her name should be Karen… or Karenitha 😛
Those are the toys in your attic ma'm.
I have squirrels and birds in my attic..I think I'mma tell the landlord I have little gang members running around up there see if I can get a couple months rent knocked off
I did meth one night when i was in my early 20s and i thought there where people in my attic and called the cops high ass hell on meth and i was drinking 40 ounce bud ice beer man i was gone and i heard people talking in my attic but when the cops showed up they checked and there was no one in my attic and the following morning i heard someone say they where hungry so i cooked some corndogs and put them in my attic kids dont do drugs please take my word it will ruin your life in your adult hood even if you make it in life drugs would destroy your memory and bend your mental state of mind
Wtf is that painting??? I was looking at it the whole time and I can't find it out!?!?!
Say it with me BAKER ACT 51/50
HOLY SHIT………….So I CAN ðŸ‘call the cops ðŸ‘ðŸ‘on that damn ðŸ‘Amazon delivery man,,,,,,,,,ðŸ‘ðŸ‘my wife is having an affair ðŸ‘ðŸ‘with him, He bring her ðŸ‘ðŸ‘gifts👠e v e r y ðŸ‘D a m n ðŸ‘Day
This woman is a lunatic!
Florida? Who ever would have guessed.
I wish officers had class, teaching how to question people whom are experiencing psychosis and or delusional episodes.
No complaints against the officers.
This lady needs help.
What she smokin?
This is a Congressional Candidate?!?! You've got to be fucking kidding me!!!
Let's play a game. On a scale of 0 – 10, who's surprised she's a "Congressional candidate"? I'll start, 0.
Meth is a terrible thing.. even for Congressional candidates.
Calling her crazy would be a compliment.
I bet black lives matter would vote for her.
If the police do not have ladders to access the attic, then how do the gang members get up there?
Me and Jeremy have been in her attic, were watching this in the attic now laughing
Mild schizophrenia
She sounds much like Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene they maybe related
I reported two guys always stalking me and seen them on my security cameras at 2:30 AM cops just blew it off saying I was just imagining things even though my car window had fresh fingers on it and a slim Jim was stuck in my door..well two guys died after that by my window and when questioned I said they were just imagining things..THEY DIDN'T FIND MY WEAPON OR HAD ANY WITNESSES SO I WAS LEFT ALONG AFTER A MONTH..
That woman is exhausting.
