A U.S. Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet boat crew rescues three divers one mile east of Palm Beach Sunday afternoon, Jan. 4, 2026.
U.S. Coast Guard
The U.S. Coast Guard rescued three people who lost sight of their boat while scuba diving off Palm Beach Sunday afternoon, the agency said.
A Lake Worth Inlet boat crew launched around 4:10 p.m. after receiving an alert from the divers’ electronic Satellite Emergency Notification device, which sends a distress signal to authorities, according to the Coast Guard.
The patrol boat crew found the divers around 5 p.m. floating in the ocean about one mile east of Palm Beach, the agency said. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office also had crews on the search.
“It was a collective effort from everyone to save these divers,” Petty Officer 2nd Class Vallery Massey, a Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet boat crew member, said in a statement. “Thanks to their emergency equipment we were able to bring them back home to their families.”
The crew took the people to shore where paramedics were waiting. The Coast Guard said all of them were in stable condition.
The Coast Guard recommends scuba divers always carry an emergency transmitter with them. The agency also says to plan dives, ensure you have all the appropriate gear and conduct safety checks on that equipment.
Scuba diving is a physically taxing activity, so the Coast Guard also recommends getting checked out by a health care provider before heading out, not consuming alcohol or drugs before dives and always going with a dive buddy, qualified instructor or experienced guide.

A woman repeatedly stabbed a 15-year-old girl inside a Cutler Bay home Sunday afternoon after an argument over the teen’s cell phone, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said.
The girl was sleeping in the living room of the home at the 21000 block of Southwest 92nd Avenue around 3:20 p.m. when she awoke to see 26-year-old Lynn My Le looking through her phone, according to Le’s arrest report.
The girl, who was not named in the report, nor was her relationship with Le explained, confronted Le and asked her why she was going through her phone, detectives said.
The girl took the phone away, and Le responded by grabbing a “black knife,” the report states. The girl ran toward the front door, but detectives say Le caught up to her and stabbed her in the back about four times, causing her to collapse,
Le then stabbed the girl about six more times as the teen pleaded for her life, according to the report.
The girl survived, but the sheriff’s office said she was left with about 10 puncture wounds. Detective Samantha Choon told the Herald Monday that the teen is in “critical, but stable” condition.
The report noted that Le refused to speak with detectives. She was booked into Turner Guilford Correctional Center on one count of attempted murder. Her bond information was not immediately available, nor was information on her legal representation.

A Monroe County jail inmate spit on two prosecutors during a hearing in the Florida Keys Friday, Oct. 24, 2025, according to the sheriff’s office.
A defendant attacked two Florida Keys prosecutors during a hearing Friday, spitting on them as court deputies restrained him, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
Scott David Alan Hedger, 45, was attending a hearing around 11:30 a.m. in which Chief Assistant State Attorney Joseph Mansfield was making an argument against his attorney’s motion to reduce his prison sentence for a probation violation.
Hedger became angry and lunged at Mansfield and Assistant State Attorney Melissa Simons, said Adam Linhardt, a sheriff’s office spokesman.
As deputies gained control over him, he still managed to spit on the attorneys, Linhardt said.
Hedger is now in county jail on two counts of battery, but he has bigger issues. The hearing was about him violating his probation on a charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury, a case in which he was originally charged with several more serious counts, including attempted murder.
He’s accused of dragging his ex-girlfriend with his pickup truck down a Tavernier street in September 2021. The woman was so badly injured, her leg bone was exposed when deputies arrived, according to his arrest report.
Scott David Alan Hedger Monroe County Sheriff’s Office
Hedger ended up pleading guilty to the charge of leaving the scene of an accident and served seven months in prison, with time served for 35 months he spent in county jail. Mansfield said the reason prosecutors agreed to the plea agreement is because the ex-girlfriend was too afraid of Hedger to testify against him.
His sentence began in September 2024 and was released at the end of February.
Although out of prison, Hedger still had four years of probation left on his sentence. One of the terms of probation was not to contact his ex-girlfriend.
But, within two days of being released on Feb. 24, Hedger called the woman 12 times from a bar in West Palm Beach, court documents reveal.
On Sept. 26, Monroe County Judge James. W. Morgan sentenced Hedger to 10 years in state prison for the parole violation. On Friday, Mansfield was arguing against Hedger’s attorney’s motion to reduce the sentence when he and his colleague were attacked.

A high school principal is accused of not reporting a child abuse incident involving a 16-year-old, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.

A high school principal was aware of a 16-year-old inappropriately touching a 4-year-old at a school-run day care but did not alert law enforcement, Florida deputies said.
The abuse was reported to Jazrick Haggins, 42, the then-principal of Spoto High School in Riverview, in April, according to an Oct. 25 news release from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
It “went unreported to the Department of Children and Families and law enforcement for 14 days,” the sheriff’s office said.
Now, Haggins is charged with failure to report child abuse, according to authorities. He was arrested Oct. 24.
Information on Haggins’ legal representation was not immediately available.
A Hillsborough County Public Schools spokesperson told WTSP-TV that Haggins is no longer the principal of Spoto High School. He was on leave while under investigation in connection with allegedly not reporting the abuse in the spring.
Haggins told authorities that he knew the 16-year-old was accused of inappropriately touching a child and that he was working on “his own investigation,” deputies said.
Following his arrest, Haggins was booked in the Polk County Jail, the office said.
Riverview is about a 15-mile drive southeast from Tampa.

Some victims depicted in the photos and videos were infants.
A teenage boy told police that he was bullied several times before a video circulating among students at Belen Jesuit Preparatory School showed him holding and racking a handgun while on a Facetime call with another classmate last week, court records show.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office detectives went to the school Wednesday and a dean played them Facetime video showing the boy holding the gun and pulling the slide back, making it appear like he loaded a round in the chamber, according to a report from the agency petitioning for the boy to receive mandatory mental health care.
The Facetime call was between the teen and a classmate, detectives say.
The video did not have sound, but the school official also played detectives a voice memo that the boy sent in which he says, “Tomorrow it is going down,” and then making popping noises to mimic gunfire, the report states.
Detectives went to the boy’s home and interviewed him and his mother, the report states. The boy, who the Miami Herald is not naming, told detectives he was the person in the video. He said he took the gun from his grandfather’s closet without permission, per the report.
The teen told detectives he racked the gun to make it look like he loaded a bullet in the chamber “because he wanted to ensure his classmate heard the sound,” the report states.
The gun was not loaded, he told detectives, according to the report, which notes the teen said he was bullied several times in the past, including by the classmate with whom he was on the call.
The sheriff’s office told Miami Herald news partner CBS News Miami the teen is receiving mental health care under Florida’s Baker Act. His mother told detectives she was also getting her son mental health help, per the report.
CBS News Miami also obtained a letter the school sent to parents saying that additional security measures have been put in place as a result of the video.
“The safety of everyone on our campus will always be our number one priority,” the letter stated. “We hope that everyone—students, faculty, staff, and parents—can work together to remain vigilant.”

A woman was nearly abducted by a man she believed was an Uber driver, Florida deputies said.
Now, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office is searching for the man who is accused of refusing to let her out of his vehicle.
The possible kidnapping was reported by a store clerk who called 911 from a Rebel gas station, located on U.S. Route 192, around 4:08 a.m. on Oct. 18, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
The clerk said the woman encountered a driver in a silver SUV while walking along the highway, toward the intersection of Cross Prairie Parkway in Kissimmee, according to deputies.
The man was said to have offered her a ride while smoking marijuana.
The woman mistook him for an Uber driver and got in his car, according to deputies.
As he drove her southbound on the Cross Prairie Parkway, he began to make sexual comments, leading to the woman demanding to be let out, deputies said.
When he refused to let her go, the woman screamed and opened his passenger side door, according to deputies.
The man sped up, deputies said, causing the woman to fall out of his moving car.
The sheriff’s office released a sketch of the man, based on the woman’s description of his appearance, as well as a photo of his vehicle.
Deputies said he was wearing a black T-shirt with a white undershirt and a black baseball cap during the incident.
The sheriff’s office encourages anyone who might recognize the man to call 407-348-2222 or Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).

CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. — A shelter-in-place has been issued in Clear Creek County as law enforcement searches for a suspect believed to be associated with several trespassing incidents.
In a social media post Thursday evening, the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office said it has received three reports this week of a suspicious person trespassing on private properties in the area of Highway 103. Surveillance cameras captured the suspect wearing a black mask and carrying a firearm.
At one property, the man reportedly told the property owner via camera surveillance that he was with the US Forest Service before disconnecting the camera.
According to the sheriff’s office, the man is accused of trespassing on two properties on Peaceful Valley Lane in Idaho Springs between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Monday. He allegedly stole more than $2,000 worth of items from one of the properties and caused roughly $2,000 worth of damage.
Between 9:20 a.m. and 10:10 a.m. Thursday, the man reportedly trespassed on a property on Ute Creek Road in Idaho Springs. The sheriff’s office said he was seen loading and cocking a firearm.
The suspect is associated with a white Ford Escape SUV that does not have license plates.
Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office
In an update, the sheriff’s office said the suspect vehicle was spotted stopped along Highway 103 just after 6 p.m. Law enforcement responded to set up a perimeter, but the suspect drove off.
After a “short pursuit,” the vehicle crashed near mile marker 3, according to the sheriff’s office. The suspect got out of the vehicle and ran away.
Deputies are searching the area for the driver. A shelter-in-place order has been issued for a 1-mile radius near the crash.
The Idaho Springs Police Department, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and Golden Police Department are assisting with the search. Law enforcement is also using a drone and K9.
Though it has not been confirmed, the sheriff’s office said it is “working on the assumption [that] this is the same suspect” from the trespassing incidents and that he may be armed.
The man is described as a Black man with a slim build and nearly six feet tall. During the incidents, he was wearing tactical colors (green and black) and a tactical belt.
If you see him, call 911.

The Butler County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a social media post that they have received reports of scammers calling people with family members in the Butler County Jail.
The callers demand $2,500 in exchange for the release of an inmate, according to the sheriff’s office.
TRENDING STORIES:
A victim reportedly paid the money and arrived at the jail expecting their loved ones to be released.
“This is NOT how the system works. The courts—not the jail—set bonds and determine releases,” the sheriff’s office said. “We urge everyone, especially our elderly family, friends, and neighbors, to be on alert.”
Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones called these scammers the “scum of the earth,” preying on innocent people while they are vulnerable.
They said people should hang up immediately if they receive one of these calls.
Dramatic body and dash camera footage captured the moment a Florida sheriff’s deputy saved the life of a 6-month-old baby after a motorcycle that was going more than 100 mph slammed into the vehicle the infant was in with her mom and sister.

NEW: Heroic Florida deputy resuscitates and saves the life of an unconscious baby after a motorcyclist slammed into the back of a car at 100+ mph.
Deputy Sgt. Dave Musgrove jumped into action after witnessing the crash.
The fatal crash happened shortly after 7:30 p.m. on February 8, when Musgrove said he was driving on South McCall Road in Englewood, Florida, when he was passed by a “motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed,” according to a February 16 statement by the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO). The motorcyclist was estimated to be driving in “excess of” 100 mph, the sheriff’s office said.
Just seconds after witnessing the motorcycle speed by, Musgrove said he then saw a “cloud of dust and smoke” ahead of him in the median area of Regina Drive, and realized that the bike had collided with a vehicle at the intersection, according to CCSO.
As Musgrove approached the scene, he saw the “shattered” motorcycle, which had come to rest in the left lane and was unoccupied, and said the other vehicle involved in the crash was between 25 and 40 feet away, CCSO said.
The motorcyclist was thrown from his bike and was “wedged into the rear window on the driver’s side of the vehicle,” CCSO said. Inside the vehicle were Foley and her two young children, 6-month-old Lola and her 3-year-old daughter, according to the sheriff’s office, which stated that the motorcyclist’s body had landed on top of the infant.
In bodycam footage shared online by CCSO, you can hear the fear in Kayleigh Foley’s voice as she pleaded for Musgrove to help her children.
“My baby! I need my baby,” she can be heard yelling amid the chaos.
A Florida deputy saved the life of a 6-month-old baby, who was not breathing when he pulled the infant out of the wreckage of a fatal accident. Authorities said a motorcyclist was traveling at an… A Florida deputy saved the life of a 6-month-old baby, who was not breathing when he pulled the infant out of the wreckage of a fatal accident. Authorities said a motorcyclist was traveling at an excess of 100 mph and slammed into a vehicle the baby was riding in with her mother and another child on February 8, 2024, in Englewood, Florida.
Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office
The video shows Musgrove first removing the older child from her booster seat in the vehicle’s back seat before he flags down another driver for help to hold the toddler so he can rescue the baby, CCSO said.
“At this time, some bystanders approached and helped to move the motorcyclist off of the infant and cut the seat belt so that Sgt. Musgrove could remove the car seat and check on the baby,” CCSO said. “The infant had no pulse and was not breathing.”
Musgrove quickly removed the baby from the car seat and began chest compressions, the sheriff’s office said, adding that despite not observing any signs of life at first, the deputy continued compressions “until the child finally inhaled deeply.” Paramedics at the scene then took over lifesaving efforts and said they had detected a pulse. Musgrove can be heard in the footage telling first responders to give the mother an update on her baby’s condition.
“The actions of Sgt. Musgrove are to be commended,” CCSO Sheriff Bill Prummell said. “His poise and calm demeanor in a scene of chaos and tragedy ultimately saved the life of a beautiful child. I want to thank the bystanders who came to his aid as well, allowing him to focus on the immediate need of the baby.”
CCSO urges people to “please ride responsibly.”
“This was a senseless accident that resulted in a life lost, but it would have been two lives had Dave not been there,” the sheriff said. “Still, I offer my thoughts and prayers to the friends and family of the motorcyclist and I ask that you keep this mother and her children in your prayers.”
The infant’s recovery is expected to be long, as the little girl is in stable condition but intubated and sedated, according to an update on the family’s GoFundMe page.
“The baby is alive and receiving treatment thanks to Sgt. Musgrove’s efforts prior to EMS arriving,” CCSO said, noting that both the other child and the mother are doing well.
During an interview with Florida station WFLA, the baby’s mother and grandmother said they owe Musgrove “undying gratitude.”
“Because of officer Dave Musgrove, she’s still here,” said Lisa Foley, the baby’s grandmother.
“He’s our hero,” Kayleigh Foley added.
“He is,” Lisa Foley said. “He will forever be our hero. And undying gratitude from every person in our family. We will never repay him for what he did, because what he did for us was life-changing.”
