Man’s romantic balloon gesture results in felony charge in Florida

Anthony Brasfield, 40, might have thought he had master-minded one of the most romantic stunts ever for his girlfriend, but when the state troopers showed up, he probably had doubts.

What was intended to be a sweet gesture might now land the Florida man in jail.

Brasfield was with his girlfriend, Shaquina Baxter, in the parking lot of a Motel 6 in Dania Beach on February 17th, when he released 12 heart-shaped Mylar balloons into the sky.
