Former KATV'er Getting His Feet, Head, Wet in Florida

It seems former KATV'er Leland Vittert had quite an unusual confrontation recently while trying to cover a story. You'll find the text story below, you can watch the video HERE.

Some Orange County residents are still waiting for their loved one's headstones. Customers said the headstone maker has been hard to find since a suspicious fire at his business.

Channel 9 went to his last known address, but didn't get any answers. Instead, the person at the home threw a pitcher of water on WFTV reporter Leland Vittert.


The State Fire Marshal's Office is looking into the possibility that the owner of Caguas Memorials set fire to the building in December. A week before the fire, one customer paid nearly $2,000 for a headstone that was never delivered.

"God is going to judge him," said victim Cheryl Rayburn.
