Eddie McIntosh III Gave Wanda Francois A Ride

Wanda Francois (MyspaceMySpace
) and Eddie McIntosh III
Winter Haven, Florida – Eddie McIntosh III, 26, is no stranger to getting in trouble. He has a criminal history that goes back to 2001. He served more than a year in jail in 2002, than another year in 2005, for B&T and assorted crimes. He lived with his girlfriend Wanda Francois, 24. On Saturday, they got into an argument that ended in her death.
Wanda Francois was later found on a lawn with a fatal head injury. After McIntosh got his family behind him and a lawyer, he gave himself up. He is now claiming that he and Wanda were arguing, and that he tried to leave. She blocked his way, so he moved her out of the way and got in his car. She supposedly jumped onto the hood of his car. That didn’t stop McIntosh. He drove off with her holding onto the hood at speeds between 50-60mph, swerving his car to throw her off. He finally succeeded and hauled ass as she lay dying.
Of course McIntosh minimizes his actions. He states that he saw Wanda stand up and use her cell phone after flying off the hood of his car, so it was okay to leave. The M.E. disputes that she could have even stood up given the severity of her head injury. The story McIntosh is peddling is not adding up. It wouldn’t be the first time a suspect lied. He is being held without bail at the Polk County Jail.

Does anyone else think that it’s the heat & swamp fumes that make Floridians so dang violent?

Do you think Eddie McIntosh the I and II taught the III a thing or two?
He probably did. it was her soul leaving her body and dialing 911.

I think it is hilarious how some of these perps think everyone is as stupid as they are. He saw her “stand up and use her cell phone” with a huge head wound. What was she? A zombie? I guess he had to speed off after to keep her from trying to eat his brain.
Perfectly believable right?

Guys, come on, give dude a break.
Didn’t you guys ever see Grindhouse? He probably thought they were just playing around, you know, going for a thrill ride. That girl got thrown off the hood and was fine! Jeez, you people need to lighten up…

Zombies! AHHHHH!
Who the fuck gets on top of a car like that? That’s one hell of a hood ornament.

I’m starting to wonder myself, I leave in central Florida and I’m thinking about getting the hell out of here. People are going nuts.

LMAO Kathy! He’s probably already infected with the zombie virus. The only way we can stop him from spreading it to the rest of the world is to shoot his head off with an extremely large caliber weapon. Any volunteers?

Hah! I KNEW zombies exist! *types messege to fellow horror-geeks*
Come the fuck on. I agree with Kathy on this one. These idiots do something horrible then make up some idiotic excuse that they believe the police are dumb enough to believe! I know there is the whole stigma of the “stupid cop with a donut” shit, but come on…

Aha, the old “Starsky and Hutch” defense! This guy is a sharp cookie, but a little behind the times.
He should of chosen a routine from Columbo or Baretta… Or, maybe Kojak. Starsky and Hutch is sooooo overdone.

Too bad Wanda never learned how to “tuck and roll”. After this experience, if she survived, she probably would be well on her way to a hollywood career as a stunt woman or maybe a gig on a reality tv series. Might have actually broken up with Eddie too…
Note to all women in Florida that date convicts or ex-convicts (question – is that every woman in Florida???): Learn the “tuck and roll” already! Jeeeeez!

I feel so sorry for young women. They are so desperate to have a man in their life that a seven-year criminal history is not a deal breaker for them. Thank God I learned to live by myself and have never had to take trash in place of a man.

Ron Burgundy says, “Thank goodness for the young women desperate to have a man in thier lives, or I wouldn’t get a date…”

Speaking about Florida, it’s always funny to hear people talk about how violent South Florida was (past tense) in the eighties:

I don’t know that it’s necessarily desperation (although that could certainly play a part), moreso than an attraction to “bad boys” and the thought that “it could never happen to me”.
I know when I was a youngin, pasts didn’t really mean much to me, assuming I bothered finding out about them. I had a penchant for “drug-chic”, and often dated young men who looked like straight up hoodlums. It wasn’t so much that I was desperate as those were just the “style” of young men I was into. None of them had particularly extensive criminal records, but all of them had a history of hardcore drug use. That being said, the one man I dated who did me most wrong had no criminal record, no history of drug use and barely even drank. That’s what I got for going straight-edge.

I know what you’re saying. There is the whole, “Leader of the Pack” thread in our culture: Heathcliff, Rhett Butler, Marlon Brando, etc. (Remember the words of the song, “They told me he was bad! But I knew he was sad! That’s when I fell for the leader of the pack!”
The worst experience I had was with a friend of friends who were the kindest, most peaceful people you could imagine.
But I think a criminal career is a clear red flag, and I know women who think if they have a penis in their life they are somehow worth more. They can’t stand their own company for more than three or four months and therefore make some poor decisions when a penis does spring up.

I wonder if Eddie McIntosh I and Jr. are hanging their heads and thinking of changing their names.

Hopeful, but unlikely. Those who contribute to evil rarely recognize the role they played.

A cell phone call is an awful stupid thing to lie about. Has he never heard of checking phone records? Shouldn’t be too hard to verify whether or not she made a phone call.

Perfectly Kathy
LMAO! dude, you’re seriously funny!

For all of you discusting folks above with negative things to say, this is not a joke, the fact of the matter is a young lady is now dead due to this accident.
From the Ledger Newspaper:
As McIntosh and Francois were arguing in their home Saturday morning, he attempted to leave, but Francois stood in front of the door to stop him.
McIntosh physically moved Francois out of his way and got into his car, but she climbed onto the hood of his car and remained on the hood as he drove down several streets, at times approaching speeds of 50 to 60 miles per hour and swerving in attempt to throw her from the hood.
After Francois eventually fell off the hood, McIntosh said he saw her get up and use her cell phone, so he drove away.
But an autopsy on Sunday determined that Francois could not have stood up because of the severity of her injuries.
Dr. Vera Volnikh, of the Polk County Medical Examiner’s Office, determined Francois died as a result of blunt impact to the head. Her injuries included a skull fracture to the right side of her head, a scalp hematoma, a subdural and epidural hematoma, as well as a contusion on her tongue.
And for some reason as of Thursday June 18, 2009, McIntosh was found Not Guilty.
