A Florida firefighter was arrested on misdemeanor stalking charges after she allegedly dumped over 75 tampons, which she had painted red, in her ex-boyfriend’s yard in what law enforcement sources described as an act of jealous rage.
The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office says the incident occurred on or around Sept. 29, 2025, when Gabrielle Franze, the man’s ex-girlfriend, drove past her ex’s residence and scattered what appeared to be used and red-stained tampons across the front yard. Security camera footage reportedly captured a dark pickup truck circling the residence. Reports vary, but some estimates say someone threw around 75 tampons, while others report she left behind more than 100.
