More run-ins with police surface involving terror suspect

St. Petersburg, Florida -- While he didn't have a long rap sheet, suspected terrorist Sami Osmakac was no stranger to police.

St. Petersburg Police now say they had two run-ins with Osmakac in recent years, while records show authorities were called to the family's Pinellas Park home six times since 2003.

In 2009, authorities say Osmakac head-butted a man inside the family's store on 4th Street. police Spokesperson Michael Puetz said the incident followed an earlier conversation where the victim told Osmakac he thought his outfit was "very sexy."
