NEW PORT RICHEY — Felicia Nevins and her husband have been trying to conceive a child for three years now. They decided to try artificial insemination — something she had yet to tell her own family about. 
 
 But now, she said, everyone knows — thanks to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. 
 
 "I didn't want any of this," she said. 
 
 The Sheriff's Office wrote on its official Facebook about a recent mishap she had while trying to store sperm in a thermos with dry ice. By forgetting to remove a rubber O-ring, the container could have exploded. 
 
 Nevins said she called the Sheriff's Office non-emergency line for help at 6 p.m. Wednesday. A deputy and firefighters arrived, she said, took the thermos away and safely opened it. They were kind, she said, and left without telling her nosy neighbors what happened. 
 
 "The officer told them it was a private matter," Nevins said, "and he treated it as a private matter." 
 
 The Sheriff's Office, she complained, did not. The agency on Thursday posted a short explanation of what happened on its Facebook page using a stock photo of a woman with a disgusted expression. 
 
 The post didn't use Nevins' name, but she said there were enough details — her age, location and time of the incident — for reporters and curious citizens to figure out who she was by searching public records. 
 
 That night, a TV news crew appeared on her doorstep with a camera. She spoke to them, but declined to identify herself. She said she spoke to the Tampa Bay Times on the record Friday because her name is "already out there." 
 
 The sheriff's Facebook post was shared more than 200 times by Friday. The Pasco County Sheriff's Office has said it's all part of its social media strategy. 
 
 "We attempt to show every day what our officers see in calls and we are a very open agency about the types of calls we see each day," Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco said in a statement. "This was a very unique call faced by our officers as well as Pasco fire fighters ... make no mistake, this was a potentially dangerous situation ... we are grateful that no damage was done." 
 
 The Sheriff's Office later released this statement: "As unusual as this situation was, it was important to provide this type of safety information contained in the post. We always encourage everyone to contact us if they find themselves in a position where they need help. 
 
 "In these types of situations, we never publicly release names or identifying information. Unfortunately, this information was obtained through a public records request of our reports and was published by the media." 
 
 Nevins, 26, said she was upset the post was not removed Friday. A sheriff's spokeswoman said the agency doesn't delete comments on social media. 
 
 The comments on this Facebook post were, as usual, unkind. Some wrote that if Nevins can't follow directions, she shouldn't have a baby. Others made fun of what happened and accused her of wanting money from the county. Others were demeaning. 
 
 Many also sided with her, and wrote that the post should be removed. 
 
 "All I'm trying to do is become a mother and I'm being berated for it," Nevins said. 
 
 Social media has become another tool for law enforcement to announce news and seek information about crimes. The Pasco County Sheriff's Office is the most prolific bay area law enforcement agency on social media, often posting body camera footage of deputies arresting people and even nightly warning for folks to lock their doors after 9 p.m. 
 
 The Pasco agency has just over 87,000 followers on Facebook — more than the followers of the Pinellas and Hillsborough Sheriff's Offices combined. But Pasco's social media presence has come with controversy. 
 
 In November, some accused the agency of crossing the line when it posted a photo to Facebook and Twitter of a man in handcuffs, weeping, as deputies held his head back by grabbing his dreadlocks. The post was entitled: "SAD CRIMINAL OF THE DAY."

 The Pasco County Sheriff's Office has gained 10,000 followers since then. 
 
 Nevins said the agency could have used social media to warn people about the dangers of dry ice without including details of her personal life — which also resulted in medical information being disclosed. Now she said she feels ashamed and embarrassed. 
 
 "I don't see the comedy in it," she said. 
 
 All she can do about is unfollow the Pasco County Sheriff's Office on Facebook: "I'm not going to support a Sheriff's Office that thinks it's okay to belittle their community."

 The retired Florida cop who allegedly shot and killed a young dad who was texting during a movie "had every right to defend himself" after the man hurled a bag of popcorn at him, his lawyer said in court. 
 
 But authorities said Tuesday there was no physical contact between Curtis Reeves and his victim Chad Oulson before he allegedly shot Oulson in the movie theater. 
 
 Reeves, 71, made his first appearance in court Tuesday to face second-degree murder charges for allegedly killing Oulson, 43, during an argument over texting at a Tampa-area theater Monday. 
 
 Friends of Oulson told the Associated Press that the father was texting his daughter's daycare. A neighbor of Reeves, Joe D’Andrea, said, "He must have just snapped." 
 
 Judge Lynn Tepper ordered Reeves held without bond and rejected the defense's claims that the murder charges were too severe. 
 
 "The evidence of guilt is significant," Tepper said. 
 
 WFTS Curtis Reeves, 71, a former Tampa police officer, is seen being taken into custody after a fatal shooting at a movie theater in Wesley Chapel, Fla., on Monday. 
 
 And it may not be the first time Reeves confronted a fellow movie patron over texting as investigators are looking into another incident that may have involved the suspect less than three weeks ago. 
 
 At the same movie theater on Dec. 28 a woman told the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office she was texting during a movie and a man she believed was Reeves told her to put her phone away, Stacey Sumner, an assistant prosecutor with the Assistant State’s Attorney Sixth Judicial Circuit told The News. 
 
 He then got the manager and the woman complied, Sumner said. But after the movie on her way to the bathroom she said she saw the man she believed to be Reeves glare at her, Sumner said. 
 
 The sheriff’s office did not return a request for comment about the incident. Sumner declined to discuss any other part of the case.

 Chad Oulson/Facebook Nicole and Chad Oulson were waiting to see the movie 'Lone Survivor' at the Tampa-area theater on Monday when Chad's texting during the previews led to a violent confrontation, authorities said. 
 
 The onetime SWAT team chief appeared at the hearing via a live video feed. He was shirtless and wearing a black padded vest. 
 
 His manner was grave and he said little, responding only "yes, ma'am" when asked if he intended to hire his own lawyer, and "yes, sir" when a defense lawyer told him they'd speak privately after the hearing. 
 
 It was a grim scene for the respected former police captain, who just 24 hours ago was settling in with his wife for a matinee showing of the Mark Wahlberg flick "Lone Survivor" at the Cobb Grove 16 theater in Wesley Chapel. 
 
 Police and witnesses said he and Oulson, who was also with his wife and sitting in front of Reeves, got into an argument because Oulson was texting during the previews. 
 
 The squabbling escalated into bloodshed when Reeves drew a .380 caliber pistol and shot Oulson once in the chest, authorities said. 
 
 Tampa Bay Times Curtis Reeves, 71, was a respected Tampa police captain who retired in 1993. He went on to head-up security for a theme park and was a member of a local Crime Stoppers organization. 
 
 The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said in a report that Oulson flung a bag of popcorn at Reeves, but the two didn't exchange blows. 
 
 After his arrest, Reeves told police "he was in fear of being attacked" when he pulled the trigger, the sheriff's report said. 
 
 The shooting stunned Reeves' friends, neighbors and former colleagues on the force, who said he never showed any sign of a short fuse. 
 
 "In my opinion, he was the best of the best," retired Tampa cop Carson Helms, who served on accused shooter Curtis Reeves' tactical squad in the 1980s, told the Tampa Bay Times. 
 
 "I don't know what caused this to happen," Helms, 59, said. "I think Curtis is a good man." 
 
 Facebook Oulson, 43, seen here with his wife, Nicole, and their daughter, was fatally shot in the chest after he allegedly refused to stop sending text messages in the theater and then got into an argument with Reeves. His wife was shot in the hand. 
 
 In a statement, Tampa police confirmed Reeves was a captain when he retired from the force in 1993. 
 
 While there, he helped launch the department's SWAT team unit, the department said. 
 
 He later went to head-up security for Busch Gardens and was a member of a local Crime Stoppers organization. 
 
 Neighbors in the 71-year-old's quiet Brooksville community were similarly stunned that the smiling retiree often spotted on walks with his wife could shoot man over something as trivial as a text message. 
 
 "I've never seen him angry. … If I needed help with something, he was always there to help," Bill Costas, who lived near the home where Reeves and his wife, Vivian, lived for nearly a decade, told local News 13. 
 
 Will Vragovic/AP Charles Cummings, 68, left, and his son Alex Cummings, 34, witnessed the shooting inside the theater. They said the fight escalated after Reeves left to the theater to complain about Oulson's texting and Oulson confronted him about it. 
 
 "It just doesn't make sense to me. Not from what I know of him." 
 
 Authorities and witnesses said the chilling encounter began after Reeves grew angry that Oulson was sending text messages as previews rolled inside the cineplex's theater 10. 
 
 Charles Cummings, 68, who was sitting nearby with his son, Alex, 34, said Reeves asked Oulson to stop several times, but was brushed off. 
 
 Reeves then stormed out of the theater to complain to the theater's management, authorities said. 
 
 When he returned, Oulson, who was sitting with his wife, confronted Reeves about going to the staff, and claimed he was sending messages to his young daughter. 
 
 MIKE CARLSON/REUTERS The shooting occurred inside The Grove 16 theater in Wesley Chapel at around 1:30 p.m. About two dozen theatergoers were getting ready to watch 'Lone Survivor,' an Afghanistan war flick starring Mark Wahlberg. 
 
 The men began to argue, and it got physical, authorities and witnesses said. 
 
 "Somebody throws popcorn. I'm not sure who threw the popcorn," Charles Cummings told reporters outside the theater Monday. 
 
 "And then bang, he was shot." 
 
 Cummings said Oulson slumped over onto him and his son. He tried to speak, but blood was seeping from his mouth, they said. 
 
 As Alex Cummings called 911, theatergoers who said they were nurses began performing CPR, authorities said. 
 
 Cliff Mcbride/AP Patrons leave the theater after the shooting. No one else was injured in the incident, and the theater remained closed on Tuesday. 
 
 Meanwhile, Reeves sat down and placed the .380 caliber pistol in his lap, CNN reported. 
 
 An off-duty Sumter County deputy who was in the theater detained him until police arrived, Nocco said. 
 
 It's not clear whether the unnamed off-duty cop was armed. 
 
 "He ran into the hot zone," Nocco said, according to The Times. 
 
 Oulson was taken by ambulance to a Tampa area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. 
 
 WFTS Neighbors and friends described Reeves as a good man and a friendly, helpful neighbor. 'I've never seen him angry,' one neighbor told local News 13. 
 
 His wife, Nicole, was wounded. She was holding her hand up near her husband's chest when the single round was fired, authorities said. 
 
 Nocco told reporters the slaying left police bewildered. 
 
 "To have a retired police officer — I don't know what he was thinking at the time," Nocco said. "It's ridiculous." 
 
 The theater, part of the Birmingham, Ala.-based Cobb Theaters chain, was evacuated after the shooting and remained closed Tuesday. 
 
 In a statement, the company said it was "truly heartbroken" by the incident. 
 
 Brendan Fitterer/AP Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco, front, walks out to update reporters after the shooting. 'To have a retired police officer — I don't know what he was thinking at the time,' Nocco said. 'It's ridiculous.' 
 
 Outside the theater after the shooting, Cummings and his son appeared spattered with blood as they spoke to reporters. 
 
 "I can't believe people would bring a gun, to a movie," Cummings said. "I can't believe they would argue and fight and shoot one another over popcorn. Over a cellphone." 
 
 The theater was slated to re-open Wednesday, the company said.

– A Florida woman trying to get pregnant via artificial insemination called police because she feared the thermos she was using to store sperm and dry ice might explode. Felicia Nevins sought the Pasco County Sheriff's Office's help after she forgot to remove a rubber O-ring from the container, the AP reports—and the next thing Nevins knew, the incident was all over social media. That's because the sheriff's office posted details on Facebook. Per the Tampa Bay Times, the 26-year-old called the cops Wednesday evening, and a deputy and firefighters showed up. They took the thermos and managed to get it open without incident, and Nevins said she appreciated that they didn't reveal the purpose of their visit to her curious neighbors. However, the sheriff's office posted a description of the house call on Facebook, along with a stock photo of a woman looking repulsed. Nevins says that even though she wasn't identified by name, there was enough information about her, including her age and location, for people to put two and two together after sifting through public records. Nevins, who has been trying to conceive a child with her husband for three years, told the Times she was upset because the post had not been removed as of Friday (it's still up as of Monday morning). "I didn't want any of this," she notes. The sheriff's office defended its decision, saying it was important to provide the type of safety information in the post. "Make no mistake, this was a potentially dangerous situation," a statement by Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco noted.
