    Plantation woman accused of killing cyclist in hit-and-run

    PLANTATION, Fla. – A 25-year-old woman turned herself in at the Broward County jail on Tuesday to face a felony charge after police said she killed a bicyclist in a hit-and-run crash near her home in Plantation back in 2022.

    According to Plantation police, the crash happened just before 7:40 p.m. on Sept. 7, 2022, in the 400 block of North Hiatus Road.

    An arrest report states that Emily Fasano, then 23, was driving her 2017 Jeep Renegade when she hit the victim, whose name was redacted, while he was riding in the bike lane.

    Authorities said even though the man’s body smashed the windshield, Fasano kept on driving; surveillance cameras spotted her at her home on Northwest 111th Avenue about five minutes later.

    Police said Fasano changed her hairstyle and clothes “in an effort to change her physical appearance” and tried leaving “only 12 minutes after being home.”

    Doorbell footage shows that Fasano, after noticing police vehicles in the area “immediately crouched down in an attempt to conceal herself.”

    Police said she “then quickly walked back to the front door of the residence” but never entered it, “concealing herself behind a wall” for 84 seconds.

    “However, after standing there for approximately 51 seconds, Fasano crouched down and peeked around the edge of the wall to look where the police units were at. She then remained behind the wall for approximately another 20 seconds,” police wrote. “During those 20 seconds, Fasano appeared to be confused/indecisive on what to do. First, she was going to walk back into the residence but did not, then she turned around a few times as she did not know what to do.”

    Police said Fasano then walked towards her vehicle, unlocked it and officers stopped her.

    The report states that police conducted a show-up with a witness, who said the vehicle parked in front of Fasano’s home was “100%” the same vehicle she saw pass her on Hiatus Road immediately after hearing a loud “boom.”

    The witness additionally said that Fasano looked “very much” like the woman driving the SUV. Another witness gave the same account, police said.

    DNA collected under a search warrant matched the victim with DNA found on Fasano’s windshield and placed Fasano as being in the Jeep at the time, the report states.

    Police said cellphone data also placed Fasano in the area of the crash site. The arrest report states that police didn’t suspect any alcohol or drug use as a factor in the crash.

    Fasano, who has pleaded not guilty in the case, remained in the North Broward Bureau jail facility on a charge of leaving the scene of a crash involving death as of Wednesday morning.

    Online records listed no bond.

  • UPDATE: Kodak Black Pleads Not Guilty After Being Hit With Multiple Charges Including Drug Possession

    UPDATE: Kodak Black Pleads Not Guilty After Being Hit With Multiple Charges Including Drug Possession

    Kodak Black has pleaded not guilty after being arrested in Florida. As The Shade Room previously reported, the 26-year-old rapper was arrested in Plantation, Florida, on Wednesday, December 6.

    RELATED: REPORT: Kodak Black Arrested On Drug Charge In Florida

    Why Was The Rapper Arrested?

    As The Shade Room previously reported, Plantation authorities allegedly found the rapper in his Bentley vehicle earlier this week. The rapper’s car blocked a road at the time, and his taillights were on.

    When the officer approached the vehicle, they reportedly observed the rapper asleep with the window halfway down. Additionally, they noticed the smell of “burnt weed” and a cup of alcohol, per XXL.

    While the officer reportedly ran the rapper’s driver’s license information, they observed white powder “falling from the rapper.” It was then determined that the substance was coming from Black’s mouth.

    The rapper was arrested and booked into the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. He was charged with possession of cocaine, tampering with evidence, and an “improper stop/stand/park/.”

    At the time, it was reported that the rapper’s bail would be revealed after a bond hearing.

    Additionally, it was reported that Black would appear in court on Thursday, December 7.

     

    More Details Regarding Kodak Black’s Case, Plea & Release

    According to case records via the Broward County Clerk of the Courts, Kodak Black’s Broward County case number is 23012882CF10A, and the case was officially filed on Friday, December 8, in the Central Courthouse.

    The rapper, whose real name is Bill Kapri, will have his case overseen by Judge Michael Lynch.

    Additionally, the case record states that Kodak Black’s bond amount for his possession of cocaine charge was set at $5,000 on Thursday, December 7.  The bail amounts for charges of tampering with evidence and improper stop/stand/park remain undisclosed.

    Furthermore, the record reveals that the rapper entered not-guilty pleas to all his charges on Friday, December 8, and was subsequently released with his bond being posted that same day.

    According to a Notice of Appearance filed in Kodak Black’s case, he reportedly requests a trial by jury.

    What The Court Expects Of Kodak Black Ahead Of His Trial

    A Pretrial Services Supervision Order states that “upon receipt of bond,” the rapper must remain in Broward County, as well as the state of Florida. Additionally, Kodak Black must not violate state or federal laws and attend all hearings before his trial.

    The 26-year-old will reportedly be on “standard pretrial supervision” and must report to his designated Pretrial Services Office twice a week via telephone.

    The rapper is also required to submit to a substance abuse evaluation ten days after his release and attend any “recommended follow-up treatment.” Black may not consume alcohol or illegal substances under his pretrial supervision and will also submit to random drug and alcohol tests.

    At this time, Kodak Black has not publicly addressed his recent arrest.

    Farmer nabbed for maintaining marijuana plantation in Balamban – Medical Marijuana Program Connection

    A 44-YEAR-OLD farmer was arrested for allegedly maintaining a marijuana plantation in Sitio Quo, Barangay Gaas, Balamban town, midwest Cebu at 11:30 a.m. Friday, April 14, 2023.

    The suspect, Victor Abadenas Paran, a high-value individual from Sitio Hunop, was not able to escape when the police arrived.

    Lieutenant Colonel Glenn Hife, chief of Balamban Police Station, told SunStar Cebu they conducted the raid together with operatives of Naval Forces Central (Navforcen), Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency and other police units after receiving reports that Paran was still growing marijuana.

    Police uprooted 3,612 fully grown marijuana plants worth over P1.4 million.

    The 3,610 marijuana plants were burned by the raiding team, and the two remaining plants were set aside to be used as evidence. (GPL/TPT)
