MONROE COUNTY, Fla. (WSVN) – A road rage incident early Saturday morning has left a Miami couple facing charges, with a woman charged with attempted murder and her husband charged with battery. The incident, which could have been easily avoided, according to Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay, serves as a reminder of the importance of letting law enforcement handle disputes.“This was an unfortunate crash that should have been resolved peacefully,” Sheriff Rick Ramsay said. “Instead, we have people in jail facing serious legal charges. It’s a valuable reminder to always let law enforcement address disputes.”According to officials, the incident unfolded near Mile Marker 26 at approximately 12:25 a.m., involving a Ford pickup truck and a Chevrolet pickup truck. Both vehicles were involved in a collision, prompting them to pull over.The driver of the Ford pickup, 59-year-old Mario Barbado Pichardo, of Miami, took the situation to a dangerous level by i...

Scammers posing as BSO targeting victims in latest phone scam

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:46:37 GMT

The Broward Sheriff’s Office has issued a warning to the public about an ongoing phone scam where scammers impersonate BSO employees from the Civil Division, falsely claiming individuals have outstanding warrants. The scam aims to steal money from victims by offering to stop the supposed arrest warrants in exchange for payments through online platforms.BSO, along with other law enforcement agencies, has previously encountered this scam and recently re-emphasized its dangers. Despite slight variations in tactics, the advice for individuals remains consistent: immediately hang up and call the police.In the current wave of this scam, BSO has been made aware of four instances where unsuspecting individuals received calls from someone claiming to be a member of BSO’s Civil Division. The callers informed the victims that they had missed a court appearance and consequently faced arrest warrants. To avoid immediate arrest, the victims were coerced into sending funds through onli...

The death toll from the Maui wildfires has climbed to 96. Here’s what we know about the deadliest US fire in over a century

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:46:37 GMT

(CNN) — Crews in west Maui are continuing the heart-wrenching work of sifting through the ashes of what used to be homes and beloved landmarks as the death toll from the deadliest US wildfire in more than 100 years is still rising.Ninety-six people have been confirmed dead, officials said Sunday night, an uptick from the previous count of 93. An unknown number of people are still unaccounted for as search teams with cadaver dogs look for remains in devastated neighborhoods.Live Updates: Maui wildfires leave a trail of death and destructionAs the death toll rises, officials are facing questions about their preparation for a disaster of this scale and their response to it:• While the deadly fires spread rapidly into neighborhoods, the largest siren system in the world was silent. Emergency communications with residents were largely limited to mobile phones and broadcasters at a time when most power and cell service was already knocked ...

Many Americans wrongly believe exposure to marijuana smoke is safer than tobacco, study finds

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:46:37 GMT

(CNN) — Is inhaling marijuana smoke safer than inhaling smoke from tobacco? A majority of American adults say yes, according to a new survey, and they also believe there is less harm to adults and children from secondhand marijuana smoke than tobacco smoke.However, those beliefs are just not true, said lead study author Dr. Beth Cohen, professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and co-director of UCSF’s program in residency investigation methods and epidemiology.“When you burn something, whether it is tobacco or cannabis, it creates toxic compounds, carcinogens, and particulate matter that are harmful to health,” she said in an email. “It’s the combustion that’s the problem, so this idea that because cannabis is ‘natural’ burning and inhaling it is fine is just wrong.”While many longitudinal studies on the health impact of inhaling marijuana are still under way, there are “plenty of toxins and tar” in cannabis smoke that can hurt th...

Orioles reset: Baltimore’s schedule is finally easing up. It won’t change players’ mentality.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:46:37 GMT

If one of Brandon Hyde’s players were to ask him the difference between the major leagues’ regular season and postseason, the Orioles’ manager would point to this weekend in Seattle as a close comparison.Baltimore’s mid-August meeting with the Mariners — featuring a consistently packed stadium, ace-level pitching and games where, as Hyde put it, “every little thing matters” — evoked thoughts of October in Hyde, who frequented the playoffs while on the Chicago Cubs’ coaching staff but has yet to reach them in five years guiding the Orioles. This year’s team is well-positioned to end that drought.Despite owning baseball’s most challenging schedule thus far, the Orioles have fully established themselves as one of the sport’s best teams. Through Sunday’s series finale with Seattle, Baltimore has played 83 of its 118 games against teams with winning records, the most of any club. But over the next month, the Or...
