LEADS YET FOR A POTENTIAL SUSPECT. BACK TO CENTRAL FLORIDA. THE FALLOUT CONTINUES AFTER 30 TO 40,000 RAILROAD TIES CAUGHT ON FIRE IN DUNNELLON. NOW, MARION COUNTY HAS DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND SAYS IT WILL SUE BECAUSE THE COUNTY ORDERED THE RAIL TIES TO BE REMOVED, BUT SAYS THE PARTIES INVOLVED DRAGGED THEIR FEET.

FLORIDA NORTHERN, WHICH LEASED THE LINE AND THE PROPERTY AND TRACK LINE RAIL LLC, THE OWNER OF THE CREOSOTE SOAKED RAIL TIES THAT STARTED BURNING JUST BEFORE 3 A.M. SUNDAY. THE COUNTY SAYS TRACK LINE BROUGHT THE TIES INTO TOWN WITHOUT NOTIFYING THE CITY OR COUNTY. THE MANAGING ENTITY, CSX AND TRACK LINE LLC. THEY SHOULD BEAR THE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS CLEANUP. COMMISSIONERS LAID OUT THE STEPS THE COUNTY HAS TAKEN TO GET THE RAIL TIES OUT SINCE OCTOBER. TRACK LINE HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO GRIND AND REPURPOSE THEM ON SITE. THE COUNTY SENT OUT CODE VIOLATION NOTICES, MET WITH CSX ATTORNEYS, SENT A NOVEMBER CEASE AND DESIST LETTER, AND PREPARED TO FILE AN INJUNCTION IN DECEMBER BEFORE TRACK LINE STARTED MOVING THE TIES. THE CITY SAYS JUST UNDER 18,000 HAD BEEN MOVED WHEN ANYWHERE FROM 30 TO 40,000 CAUGHT FIRE OVER THE WEEKEND. WHEN THE COMMUNITY CAME TOGETHER, THAT’S WHEN THEY DECIDED THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO START MOVING THIS STUFF. BUT BEFORE ALL OF THAT HAPPENED, THEY HIRED LAWYERS TO FIGHT. THE BRIGGS SAY THEY’VE BEEN HAVING RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS SINCE BEFORE THE FIRE. THIS IS HURTING PEOPLE. THE COUNTY SAYS IT’S GOING TO RESERVE FURTHER COMMENT NOW THAT LITIGATION HAS BEGUN. THE CITY, MEANWHILE, SAYS CSX WILL BE BRINGING 28 RAIL CARS INTO TOWN TO REMOVE THE REMAINING RAIL TIES COVERING MARION COUNTY IN DUNELLEN. DAVID JONES WESH TWO NEWS.

TRANSPORTATION, TRACK LINE RAIL, AND FLORIDA NORTHERN RAILROAD. THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IS MONITORING THE AIR. TALKING TO YOU, BIG GUY. SURRENDER NOW. THIS DOG’S GONNA BITE YOU. HEY. NEW TONIGHT, ORLANDO POLICE SHARED THIS BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE FROM A SEARCH WARRANT AND ARREST LATE AUGUST. OFFICERS RECEIVED COMPLAINTS OF DRUG SALES IN CARVER SHORES. THEY FOUND PEOPLE WITH DRUGS LEAVING THE HOME, AND A SEARCH WARRANT LATER FOUND COCAINE, AMPHETAMINES, OXYCODONE AND GUNS.

SOIL SETTLING HAPPENS VERY SLOWLY, BUT A SINKHOLE IS FAR MORE SERIOUS, SOMETHING MORE THAT HAPPENS AT THE LIMESTONE BEDROCK LEVEL. SO SOMETHING THAT IS CAUSING THESE CHEMICAL DISSOLUTION OF THE LIMESTONE AS ACIDIC WATER PERMEATES THROUGH THE SOIL AND EVENTUALLY ERODES, YOU KNOW, LIKE, SAY, 50 TO 100FT DOWN THE GROUND SURFACE. UCF ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR LUIS ARBOLEDA SAYS THAT IT IS LIKELY THE TEAMS ON SITE ARE DOING CONE PENETRATION TESTING. A CONE HITS THE GROUND WITH SENSORS AND CAN MEASURE RESISTANCE. LAKE COUNTY SAYS IT EXPECTS THE TEST RESULTS TO COME BACK ON MONDAY. A VOLUSIA COUNTY MAN SWORE HE WAS INNOCENT AFTER HE WAS ARRESTED FOR A CRIME HE SAYS HE DID NOT COMMIT, AND WESH 2 INVESTIGATES, UNCOVERED THE RECEIPTS PROVING IT. OUR JUSTIN SCHECKER DID WEEKS OF DIGGING TO HELP A LOCAL MAN GET HIS LIFE BACK. WHAT’S GOING ON? HE WENT IN FOR A HANDSHAKE AND WOUND UP IN HANDCUFFS. I NEED YOU TO PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. FOR WHAT? YOU GOT A WARRANT? WHAT? I’LL TELL YOU. OH. BURGESS WAS SHOCKED AS A VOLUSIA SHERIFF’S DEPUTY ARRESTED HIM IN EARLY AUGUST. SO I’M ABOUT TO COME OUT HERE AND TALK TO YOU. DAD. HIS FIVE YEAR OLD SON WAS WITH HIM IN THE BACK SEAT OF HIS SUV IN A HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT. SO YOU GOT SOME SOME SORT OF FRAUD WARRANT? I WAS LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW, AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS JOKING. I WAS LIKE, HEY, MAN. ORANGE COUNTY COURT RECORDS REVEALED BURGESS HAD TWO ARREST WARRANTS FOR FRAUD AND THEFT CHARGES AT TWO UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT HOTELS. THIS ORLANDO POLICE AFFIDAVIT SAYS A PERSON IN JUNE CHECKED INTO ROOMS WITH INVALID CREDIT CARDS AT ENDLESS SUMMER SURFSIDE RESORT AND CABANA BAY RESORT THAT APPROXIMATELY $4,406.98 WAS CHARGED TO BOTH RESORT ROOMS AND WAS NEVER PAID FOR BY THE SUBJECT. WHY WOULD I GO TO A HOTEL AND STAY AT A HOTEL RUNNING UP CREDIT CARDS WHERE, YOU KNOW, I GOT KIDS I CAN’T EVEN. LIKE I SAID, I CAN BARELY GO TO A GAS STATION. DURING OUR INTERVIEW IN OCTOBER, HIS SON AND SEVEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL. THIS IS ABOUT WHEN THE THE HOME DEPOT INCIDENT. OH, I KNOW THAT WHEN COPS ARRESTED YOU FOR NO REASON. YES. MY DAD DIDN’T DO ANYTHING. HE WAS AT WORK THAT NIGHT. THE AFFIDAVIT SAYS THE SUBJECT CHECKED INTO CABANA BAY RESORT ON JUNE 16TH. BURGESS MAINTAINS HE WAS NEARLY 70 MILES AWAY WORKING AT EVERGLADES BOATS IN EDGEWATER. HE SAYS THE COMPANY TERMINATED HIM AFTER HIS ARREST, BUT HR PROVIDED BURGESS HIS TIME CARD, SHOWING HE CLOCKED IN AT 4:57 P.M. ON MONDAY, JUNE 16TH, AND PUNCHED OUT AT 3:35 A.M. THE NEXT DAY. I’M INNOCENT. I DIDN’T DO THIS. SO WHY DID POLICE BELIEVE HE DID? THEY SAY THE SAME MAN WHO CHECKED INTO CABANA BAY RESORT ON JUNE 16TH. CHECKED IN AGAIN ON JUNE 22ND, BUT THIS TIME THE MAN GOT A TRESPASS ORDER FROM ORLANDO POLICE. SO BASICALLY, IT’S GOING TO BE A TRESPASS FROM ALL UNIVERSAL STUDIOS PROPERTIES. WESH TWO INVESTIGATES OBTAINED THIS BODY CAMERA VIDEO NEARLY TWO MONTHS AFTER REQUESTING IT. POLICE SAY THEY BELIEVE THE MAN IN THIS VIDEO WAS BURGESS GIVING A FAKE NAME AND ID TO POLICE. WHAT WAS YOUR NAME BY? FINE. ALL RIGHT. WE ARE NOT SHOWING HIS FACE. BUT THE MAN BEING BANNED IS CLEARLY NOT BURGESS. YOU CAN SEE HE HAS NO TATTOOS ON HIS LEGS. WHILE BURGESS SHOWED US HIS. HIS TIME CARD ALSO SHOWS HE WENT TO WORK ON JUNE 22ND, THE SAME DAY AS THE TRESPASSING INCIDENT. I’M JUST SO MIND BLOWN THAT THAT THAT THEY DIDN’T DO NO KIND OF INVESTIGATION AND JUST CHARGED IT BECAUSE THEY, THEY IT IT LOOKS SORT OF LIKE ME. THE ARREST WARRANT AFFIDAVIT SAYS POLICE IDENTIFIED BURGESS USING LAW ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES IN AN EMAIL TO WESH TWO INVESTIGATES ORLANDO POLICE CHIEF ERIC SMITH’S CHIEF OF STAFF SAID FACIAL RECOGNITION WAS NOT USED. HE ALSO SAID BECAUSE IT’S AN ACTIVE CRIMINAL CASE, POLICE ARE LIMITED ON WHAT ELSE THEY CAN SAY. THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH, YOU KNOW, IT’S GOT TO COME OUT ON THE SAME DAY. WESH TWO INVESTIGATES RECEIVED THAT BODY CAMERA VIDEO IN DECEMBER FROM THE CITY OF ORLANDO. THE STATE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE FILED A NO INFORMATION NOTICE IN THE CASE AGAINST BURGESS. PROSECUTORS ARE DECLINING TO FILE CHARGES BECAUSE THEY SAY THE EVIDENCE IS INSUFFICIENT TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT DUE TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT ISSUE. WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU SAW THAT FILING? I TOLD YOU SO, BURGESS SAYS HE FELT HOPELESS BEFORE HE SHARED THE STORY OF HIS WRONGFUL ARREST WITH WESH TWO. INVESTIGATES. BEFORE I SPOKE TO YOU, I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I CALLED EVERYBODY AND I JUST GOT THE PHONE SLAMMED ON ME. WITHOUT YOU GUYS, I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE HELPED. YOU HAVE HELPED TREMENDOUSLY WHEN OUT OF THE WAY. AND I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING. WESH TWO NEWS IS DONE. FOR WESH TWO INVESTIGATES I’M JUSTIN SCHECKER. AND WE LEARNED ABOUT THAT CASE BECAUSE BO BURGESS CONTACTED JUSTIN THEROUX. WESH TWO INVESTIGATES. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING OUR INTO. EMAIL US AT INVESTIGATES@WESH.COM. THE DEEP FREEZE IS OVER AND MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY’RE FINDING AFTER UNCOVERING THEIR PLANS. BUT AUSTIN COATES OF LUCAS NURSERY AND BUTTERFLY ENCOUNTER IN OVIEDO SAYS NOW THAT WE’RE IN THIS POST FREEZE PERIOD, DON’T JUST RUN OUT AND CUT BACK ALL YOUR PLANTS. IF YOU DO, YOU’LL RUN THE RISK OF CAUSING MORE DAMAGE AND STRESS TO THE PLANTS. YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO REALLY LEAVE IT, AT LEAST FOR THE FIRST 4 TO 6 WEEKS, SO THAT ANY SORT OF FROST DAMAGE THAT HAS YET TO SHOW ITSELF, YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO WAIT A LITTLE BIT FOR THAT PLANT TO KIND OF FINISH SORTING OUT WHATEVER ISSUES MAY BE GOING ON WITH THAT FROST DAMAGE, AND THEN PROBABLY AROUND EARLY MARCH, FIRST WEEK OF MARCH, YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO CUT A LOT OF THIS DEAD STUFF BACK. AND IF YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT’S COMPLETELY COOKED, YOU CAN DO TWO TESTS TO DETERMINE IF IT’S STILL ALIVE. SO THE GREEN THAT’S ON THE INSIDE MEANS THAT THERE’S FLUID INSIDE OF THE TRUNK OF THE PLANT. SO IT’S STILL VIABLE AND IT WILL STILL COME BACK. YOU CAN ALSO TAKE A THUMBNAIL SKETCH OF THE PLANT AND SEE IF THERE’S GREEN ON THE INSIDE. A LOT OF GREEN THUMBS LIKE MINE JUST DID NOT GO GREEN. NO, I THINK WE LOST OUR ELEPHANT EARS. I THINK THEY’RE CALLED. YEAH, IT’S ALL RIGHT. IT’S OKAY. I’M SURE YOU’RE NOT ALONE. FEELS LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE ANDREW’S PROBLEM, NOT MINE. LET HIM DEAL WITH THAT. YES.

THERE ARE A FEW CLOUDS NOW APPROACHING THE I-10 CORRIDOR SIGN OF THAT WEATHER MAKER THAT’S GOING TO HEAD OUR WAY WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY THURSDAY. BUT NOTICE OUT AHEAD OF IT AGAIN ANOTHER EVENING PLUS FIVE PLUS TEN DEGREES WARMER THAN WHERE WE WERE THIS TIME LAST NIGHT. AND OCALA IS GOING TO BE DROPPING VERY CLOSE TO FREEZING THERE FOR SHORT DURATION, ONLY TO WARM UP QUICKLY TO ABOUT 64. YOU TAKE A LOOK NOW UP TOWARDS DAYTONA BEACH, MID 30S WITH SOME PATCHY FROST. THEN BY THE 11:00 HOUR WE’RE COMING IN AT ABOUT 65 DEGREES. NOW I’M GOING TO TIME OUT THAT FRONT THAT’S COMING IN ON THURSDAY. THE COOLER AIR ON FRIDAY. AND THEN A NICE BIG WARMING TREND HEADED OUR WAY. AS WE GET YOU ON INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. WHEN I SEE YOU COMING UP IN THE NEXT COUPLE MINUTES, GUYS. ALL RIGHT, TONY, MEANTIME, DEAD FISH ARE STARTING TO SHOW UP ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. THIS IS VIDEO FROM MOSQUITO LAGOON NEAR NEW SMYRNA BEACH SHOWING FISH THERE IN THE WATER TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THERE. THIS VIDEO SAYS THAT ALL THOSE FISH SPANNED AN AREA OF ABOUT 200FT. NOW, IT’S NOT JUST FISH. OTHER KINDS OF SEA CRITTERS ARE WASHING UP ON BEACHES IN FLORIDA, EXPERTS SAY THE COLD WEATHER GOT TO THEM. STINGRAYS, CRABS, EELS, SEA SHARK HAVE ALL WASHED UP ON BEACHES IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, OFFICIALS SAY WATER TEMPERATURES DROPPED TO THE LOWER 50S THIS WEEK THERE, WHICH CAN STUN OR KILL SOME OF THE MARINE LIFE IN THE GULF. SCIENTISTS SAY SOME CREATURES CAN LIVE IF THEY GET BACK IN THE WATER QUICKLY, BUT ANYTHING WITH GILLS LIKELY DIED AFTER A FEW MINUTES OUT OF THE WATER. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT THIS. SEA LIONS AT AN IOWA ZOO. THEY MADE THEIR PREDICTION FOR THE SUPER BOWL ON SUNDAY. SO THE AFRICAN LIONS DO.
