China Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Former Tallahassee ethics officer Julie Meadows-Keefe charged with stalking The city of Tallahassee's first independent ethics officer was arrested Monday on charges of stalking the former city auditor. Julie Meadows-Keefe, who just weeks ago settled a retaliation lawsuit against the city, is accused of cyberstalking Bert Fletcher, with whom she had a romantic relationship during their time at the city and afterward. The 51-year-old was charged Monday by the State Attorney’s Office on the first-degree misdemeanor. In a court appearance Tuesday before Leon County Judge Augustus D. Aikens Jr., Meadows-Keefe was released on pretrial conditions that barred her from having contact with Fletcher or any of his family members and from using electronic devices with internet access except to conduct attorney business, banking, paying bills and for work. The arrest marks the latest chapter in a saga involving Meadows-Keefe, who was once responsible for training city elected officials and employees on ethics, and whose personal drama became a focus at Ethics Board meetings.

China Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 ‘Friendly’ wild vervet monkey colony grows to 40 in Dania Beach, researcher says A colony of African vervet monkeys has lived in Dania Beach, near the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, for decades, but more people have been noticing them lately. Missy Williams, of the Dania Beach Vervet Project, was able to create a sanctuary for the colony of 40 monkeys near the Park N’ Go, an off-airport parking operator. Dave Winquist, the manager at Park N’Go, said the monkeys are regular friendly visitors, and they are always looking for something to eat. They really like bananas and peanuts, he said. “They are all very nice,” Winquist said. “I have never had a problem with any of them.” Hanging from a fence, near the cars, there is a sign: “Please do not touch or hand feed the monkeys, for your own safety.” Tony Cellamare works near the sanctuary. He has also gotten used to the monkeys and he has learned what not to do around them. “If you leave your car window open and there is something in there, they will climb in your car and go for it, if there is food or chips or something like that,” Cellamare said. Williams, a Florida Atlantic University researcher, has named them all and she has a database with files for each of the monkeys. She said their ancestors escaped from the Dania Chimpanzee Farm in the late 1940s. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 After Killing Black Man and Destroying Evidence, Florida Man Claims 'Stand Your Ground,' Gets 1 Year in Jail Gardner Kent Fraser killed Dominic “DJ” Broadus II but no one knows why. Fraser doesn’t deny it, nor does the state attorney for Florida’s Eighth Judicial Circuit. After shooting Broadus in the face, investigators say Fraser, who is white, waited 21 minutes to dial 911. Asked by emergency operators if he knew Broadus, Fraser said: “Ahh, I believe I do.” When Baker County sheriff’s deputies arrived on the scene at Southern States Nurseries in Macclenny, Fla., they noted that 31-year-old D.J. Broadus’ body appeared to have been moved or rolled over. Broadus was holding a cell phone when he was shot, but it was nowhere to be found when the authorities arrived on the scene. Although authorities never found Broadus’ phone, a Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) investigation would later uncover 115 phone calls and 35 text messages between the two men, including explicit and sexual images. Authorities allege that Fraser deleted some of the messages, reportedly to hide his relationship with Broadus. ----- The investigation was turned over to the FDLE after local authorities realized there might be a conflict of interest in the case. The deputy who first arrived on the scene knew Fraser’s father, Ryan T. Fraser, raising the possibility of a conflict of interest. In 2009, Ryan Fraser was fired from the nearby Jacksonville Sheriff’s Department in 2009 for shooting Jerrick Hall, an unarmed Black man.

They're eating up everything. ‘That’s a big snake:’ Florida cousins catch pregnant 16-foot python on family property Two Florida cousins recently captured a huge Burmese Python after spotting it slithering on their property in Central Florida. Aaron Brown told Fox13 that he was recently driving down the street near his home in Zolfo Springs when he spotted the large snake, the station reported on Wednesday. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLDrt87Ho7p/?utm_source=ig_embed At about 16 feet and 300 pounds, the python was the largest reported snake to be found in the area. Wilkinson said that the family had never seen anything that big in the woods surrounding their property in Zolfo Springs, which is southwest east of Tampa. After capturing the snake, the family called Dustin Crum, a local snake hunter, who took the snake. Crum said he found 100 eggs inside the animal while he was skinning and examining it.

His law license was revoked. BTW, I heard if the impeachment trial had lasted longer he was ready to join Trump's defense team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 ‘Blind allegiance to an insurrectionist’: Nikki Fried calls out DeSantis in message to Floridians Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried slammed Governor Ron DeSantis’ handling of the coronavirus pandemic in a video message to Floridians Tuesday morning. Fried, who is Florida’s 12th Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services, delivered a message she said ‘you won’t hear from DeSantis.’ “This pandemic has been painful. While he lashes out at everyone else like he’s the victim, we all know who the real victims are: every Floridan who’s lost a loved one, lost a job, lost a way of life,” she says in the video. Fried’s next quote was the most scathing toward the governor. “This has been so much harder than it had to be, and we know why: Blind allegiance to an insurrectionist.” Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Restaurant to go alcohol sales could become permanent in Florida Florida restaurants would be able to sell alcohol for take out and delivery under a bill approved by a Senate committee Tuesday that would make permanent a suspension of rules the governor allowed during the coronavirus pandemic. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order last year allowing alcohol to go to help restaurants that were losing business as people stayed home and capacity restrictions were enforced.

China Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Florida man who flew massive Confederate flag in Tampa found dead A man who bragged of tricking local Florida officials into letting him fly a massive Confederate flag at the corners of two busy interstates has died, authorities said. Police said officers found 73-year-old Marion Lambert dead on his small farm in Tampa on Wednesday. WFLA first reported the news. Officials said foul play is not suspected. In 2017, Lambert told The Associated Press during an interview that he tricked the county several years ago, when he bought a sliver of land near Interstates 4 and 75. When he asked county officials for a permit, he said he planned to build “a memorial to American veterans.” “I tricked them,” he said. “If they had done any research they would have known who I was.” Lambert and others raised $250,000 in donations and labor to erect granite slabs engraved with soldiers’ names. In 2008, he unfurled a 30-by-50-foot (9-by-15-meter) flag — at the time it was the biggest Confederate flag in the nation — much to the disgust of many.
