Florida crew misspells 'school' in school crosswalk

" A motorist on Thursday spotted the error, realizing that workers in Doral had made a mistake when painting the word “school” at a pedestrian crossing in the road. Instead of S-C-H-O-O-L, it was spelled S-C-O-H-O-L. The city tweeted that the private contractor has now corrected its work. "It's not a good thing when you misspell school. It's not a good look.

DWP — driving while poppered — is apparently a thing

Miami-Dade prosecutors have charged an  Aventura  man with DUI manslaughter after concluding he was high on nitrous oxide, also known as “whippets,” when he ran over a family on a sidewalk, killing a real-estate lawyer. Joseph Franco, 27, was jailed Wednesday afternoon, accused of killing Amir Pelleg in July 2018 and injuring his wife and two young daughters.

So far, maybe not so difficult. At least not until the women try to run over a trooper, start wielding a metal bat, take off in their car and have to be tasered,  WTSP.com reports. The trouble began Wednesday morning at a rest stop on northbound I-75 in Pasco County. “There’s three women standing in the nude putting on suntan lotion,” one of the troopers is heard saying in dispatch call audio.but the officers didn’t have time to get the naked truth about what was going on. The women ran to their Nissan Sentra and drove away at speed, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The trooper began to chase the Nissan, but backed off for safety reasons. More troopers tracked the car to a convenience store parking lot on State Road 52. But when an officer tried to make an arrest, the wo...
