    Florida TSA Agent Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting 79-Year-Old Passenger at Airport

    A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a 79-year-old passenger at Fort Lauderdale airport, according to the NY Post. Police reports indicate that the TSA agent was

    “forcefully pushing her.”

    Janiyah Wilson-Robinson, a 21-year-old from Margate, was taken into custody on Wednesday following the incident at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, as reported by WPLG. The station referenced a Broward Sheriff’s Office arrest report stating that Wilson-Robinson attacked the woman, who is from Palm Beach Gardens, by

    “forcefully pushing her,”

    resulting in the passenger falling and hitting her forehead.

    The passenger, traveling that day on a JetBlue flight, reportedly sustained

    “minor bruising.”

    The events leading to the alleged altercation remain unclear. The passenger was provided with an ice pack but chose not to go to a local hospital, according to WPLG. Wilson-Robinson was charged with aggravated battery against a person aged 65 or older and was released after posting a $1,000 bond.

    “The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is aware of the recent arrest of one of our officers. TSA holds its employees to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity, and we do not tolerate behavior that violates these standards or the public’s trust,”

    a TSA spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

    “The individual has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation. We are fully cooperating with law enforcement authorities in their investigation,”

    the spokesperson added.

  • Man Arrested for Pulling Gun Out on Restaurant Staff Over Dispute About the Bill

    Man Arrested for Pulling Gun Out on Restaurant Staff Over Dispute About the Bill

    A man from Daytona Beach was arrested for allegedly waving a gun inside a restaurant and pointing it at four employees during a dispute over a bill, according to Ormond Beach police and the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

    Anthony Rodriguez, 25, turned himself in to authorities on Thursday, June 5. The incident occurred about a month ago. He is facing four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Records show he was released from the Volusia County Branch Jail on a $30,000 bond as of Monday, June 9.

    According to Ormond Beach police, Rodriguez and three companions were dining at Fresh Guacamole Tequila & Bar Mexican Grill on 1930 West Granada Blvd. on May 6. They became displeased with the bill when it was presented, leading to an argument with the restaurant staff. To calm things down, an employee suggested that the group could leave without paying, as stated in the arrest report.

    During the argument, a woman in the group began banging on the plexiglass protecting the cashier and pushed past it toward four employees, including a 16-year-old son of one of the staff. She yelled at one employee, prompting the teenager to step in to defend his father. At that moment, surveillance footage shows Rodriguez pulling out a silver handgun from his bag.

    Rodriguez pointed the gun at the four people, and the woman then pushed him out of the restaurant. After a month-long investigation, police used photo lineups and facial recognition technology to confirm that Rodriguez was the one who brandished the gun at the employees.

  • Florida Man Calls 911 on Employee After Being Denied S*x at Strip Club, Reports Say He Was Arrested Instead

    Florida Man Calls 911 on Employee After Being Denied S*x at Strip Club, Reports Say He Was Arrested Instead

    A Florida man was taken into custody at a strip club after he dialed 911, claiming that an employee refused to engage in sexual activity with him, as reported by Law & Crime.

    The suspect, identified as Sultan Jiza Muedh Alnofaie, 21, was at the Oz Gentlemen’s Club in Clearwater just before 1 a.m. on Sunday. According to the probable cause affidavit, Alnofaie called an emergency dispatcher to report the issue with the employee. He reportedly told the police to

    “come and take him to jail.”

    He also informed dispatchers that the club’s security had

    “taken”

    $300 from him.

    He claimed he had given that amount to an employee for sex but did not receive the services he expected. According to security personnel at the club, the defendant paid for a private room and requested sex from a staff member.

    “When denied said acts, the defendant called 911 for assistance,”

    the affidavit said.

    Alnofaie attempted to have the police arrest the employee who took his money, but he was the one who ended up in handcuffs. Deputies said he appeared to be intoxicated, slurring his speech and reeking of alcohol. He was taken to jail on a misdemeanor charge for misusing the 911 system and has since posted a $500 bond.

    Originally from Saudi Arabia, Alnofaie is currently residing in Miramar.

  • Man Sentenced To Life After Severing Spine Of Ex-Girlfriend’s Toddler Daughter Days After She Broke Up With Him

    Man Sentenced To Life After Severing Spine Of Ex-Girlfriend’s Toddler Daughter Days After She Broke Up With Him

    A man from Florida received a life sentence for murdering a 2-year-old girl in his care by severing her spine. This occurred a mere week after her mother broke up with him. The jury took almost two hours to convict 27-year-old Travis Ray Thompson of first-degree murder for Jacklyn Schwingel’s death, according to PEOPLE.

    On May 2, 2022, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to child abuse when a 2-year-old girl was taken to the emergency room in critical condition. Despite efforts to save her, Jacklyn was sadly pronounced dead. Her mother had left her with Thompson just before the incident.

    The mother said that when she got there, Jacklyn was unresponsive, with a weak pulse and a swollen stomach. Both she and Thompson drove Jacklyn to a nearby hospital when she stopped breathing. Thompson was told to call 911, and an ambulance arrived at a nearby business to transport the toddler for treatment.

    In an interview with officials, Thompson said he was in another room when he heard a loud noise and located Jacklyn unresponsive. He claimed he didn’t know how she got hurt. On Sept. 1, 2022, the Medical Examiner reported that Jacklyn passed away from severe injuries, including a severed spine and internal bleeding.

    The Medical Examiner’s Office found that Thompson used a lot of force on Jacklyn’s upper and lower body, bending her backward beyond what was normal for her. This excessive pressure caused her back to break, according to their statement.

    “This monster stole the life of an innocent child, and today, the justice system made sure he will never walk free again… Life in prison is too good for this kind of evil,” said State Attorney for the Fifth Judicial Bill Gladson.

  • Man Sues Universal Studios After Being Stuck in a Tilted Position on Faulty ‘Harry Potter’ Ride for an Hour, Lawsuit Says

    Man Sues Universal Studios After Being Stuck in a Tilted Position on Faulty ‘Harry Potter’ Ride for an Hour, Lawsuit Says

    A Florida man is taking legal action against Universal Studios after he reportedly remained stuck on a roller coaster in a tilted position for an hour, per Law & Crime.

    In a lawsuit filed last week in the Ninth Judicial Circuit of Florida, Casey Causey alleges that while on the

    “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey”

    roller coaster on July 2, 2023, the ride suddenly

    “came to an abrupt stop, stranding their cart midair at an angle that left him tilted backward and to the right.”

    “Plaintiff was stranded in this position for approximately one hour, after which the cart was moved to an upright position,”

    the complaint continues, adding that

    “the roller coaster was a defective product.”

    Causey has charged Universal with negligence, asserting that the theme park had a responsibility

    “to exercise ordinary care and skill to avoid foreseeable harm to Plaintiff and other similarly situated persons.”

    The lawsuit claims that the park created an

    “unreasonable risk of harm”

    by not addressing issues with the ride, despite park employees being aware that it was

    “defective,”

    which led to Causey sustaining injuries as a result. Those injuries include

    “bodily injury, resulting in pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, scarring, mental anguish, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, expense of hospitalization, medical and nursing care and treatment, loss of earnings, loss of the ability to earn money, damage to property, inconvenience, and aggravation of a previously existing condition.”

    Causey’s injuries stem from the park’s prioritization of profits over safety, the lawsuit argues.

    “[T]he defendants’ failure to fix the roller coaster, shut it down, or provide adequate warning of the potential stoppage was done out of desire to obtain money for ticket sales for the park,”

    Causey’s attorneys stated in the complaint. Additionally, the lawsuit claims that Causey has lost his ability to earn income as a result.

    Pilot and Two Passengers Survive After Crashing into the Atlantic Ocean at Night

    Three people survived a plane crash off the coast of Florida that happened at night, according to PEOPLE.

    On Sunday, June 1, around 8:30 p.m. local time, the pilot made a mayday call, said Sheriff Eric Flowers from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office during a press conference with ABC affiliate WPBF. The pilot was trying to reach Vero Beach Airport but crashed into the Atlantic Ocean just a few miles from shore.

Sheriff Flowers estimated that the three people were treading water for about 45 minutes before being saved.

    The pilot suffered the worst injuries, reporting pain in his ribs. All three were taken to Coast Guard Station Fort Pierce for a medical check-up. The crash is now being investigated by the NTSB and FAA.

    “This is just an incredibly heroic event,”

    Flowers said about the joint agency rescue.

    “It’s just an incredible story. I can’t wait for you guys to hopefully get to a day to talk to the people who were actually in the plane,”
