A 25-year-old South Florida woman is behind bars, accused of driving drunk and nearly crashing into an 18-wheeler.Police said the woman, Tylasia Bennett, had a 2-month-old baby in the passenger seat at the time. The incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. Friday in the area of Miramar Parkway and 184th Avenue.

According to police, officers were alerted by a 911 caller to silver Ford weaving in and out of traffic that had nearly hit an 18-wheeler. Authorities said they were quickly able to locate the vehicle, which police officers found parked with the engine running. Officers said when they approached the car, they saw a 2-month-old sitting in the passenger seat, “not properly restrained or secured in a child safety seat.”According to an arrest report, when police asked her why the child was in the front seat, Bennett said “the baby had been crying, so she moved it to the front seat” and when they asked her why there was food covering the child’s clothes and body, Bennett replied that she had accidentally dropped food on the child.Officers said they noticed the smell of alcohol on Bennett, and she subsequently failed field sobriety tests.

Bennett is now facing charges of driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license and child neglect without great bodily harm. .l10-neighborhood, .l10-neighborhood * { box-sizing: border-box; } .l10-neighborhood{ --blue-dark:#0d2c73; --blue:#1f57c4; --blue-light:#3370e6; --gray-bg:#f2f3f5; --gray-border:#d6d8dc; --text-dark:#1a1a1a; --white:#ffffff; font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Arial,sans-serif; max-width:860px; margin:1.5rem auto; border-radius:10px; overflow:hidden; border:1px solid var(--gray-border); background:var(--gray-bg); box-shadow:0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,.12); text-align:center; } .l10-head{ background:linear-gradient(90deg,var(--blue-dark),var(--blue)); color:var(--white); padding:12px 16px; font-weight:800; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:1rem; letter-spacing:.3px; display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center; gap:8px; } .l10-body{ max-width:740px; margin:0 auto; padding:0 16px 18px; } .l10-sub{ margin:12px 0 10px; font-size:.95rem; color:var(--text-dark); font-weight:500; text-align:center; } .l10-grid{ display:grid; grid-template-columns:1fr; gap:12px; } @media (min-width:600px){ .l10-grid{ grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr); } } .nb-btn{ display:grid; place-i… Severe weather moved through South Florida on Monday afternoon.

Several flood-prone areas of Broward County found themselves under water.That included roadways in Hollywood, making the afternoon commute even more difficult than usual. Local 10 cameras were rolling near Dewey Street and South 14th Avenue, where Hollywood officials were out to survey the water levels. Rich Digirolamo and his four-legged pal Jessie were out for a stroll after the rain passed through the area.

“The flooding that I have now, I never had when I first moved here,” he said. Digirolamo said it’s not uncommon for the South Lakes area to flood, a recurring issue that’s getting old for many residents. “You don’t see a hell of a lot of changes.” .l10-neighborhood, .l10-neighborhood * { box-sizing: border-box; } .l10-neighborhood{ --blue-dark:#0d2c73; --blue:#1f57c4; --blue-light:#3370e6; --gray-bg:#f2f3f5; --gray-border:#d6d8dc; --text-dark:#1a1a1a; --white:#ffffff; font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Arial,sans-serif; max-width:860px; margin:1.5rem auto; border-radius:10px; overflow:hidden; border:1px solid var(--gray-border); background:var(--gray-bg); box-shadow:0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,.12); text-align:center; } .l10-head{ background:linear-gradient(90deg,var(--blue-dark),var(--blue)); color:var(--white); padding:12px 16px; font-weight:800; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:1rem; letter-spacing:.3px; display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center; gap:8px; } .l10-body{ max-width:740px; margin:0 auto; padding:0 16px 18px; } .l10-sub{ margin:12px 0 10px; font-size:.95rem; color:var(--text-dark); font-weight:500; text-align:center; } .l10-grid{ display:grid; grid-template-columns:1fr; gap:12px; } @media (min-width:600px){ .l10-grid{ grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr); } } .nb-btn{ display:grid; place-items:center; text-align:center; line-height:1; width:100%; min-height:48px; padding:10px; border-radius:8px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:800; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:.95rem; background:linear-gradient(180deg,var(--blue-light),var(--blue)); color:var(--white); box-shadow:0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,.15); transition:background .15s ease, transform .1s ease, box-shadow .15s ease; } .nb-btn:hover, .nb-btn:focus-visible{ background:linear-gradient(180deg,var(--blue),var(--blue-dark)); transform:translateY(-1px); box-shado…

After weeks in ice custody, even shifting locations, Venezuelan Claudia Caglionone is a free woman.“I leave my heart in there with all the women who are unjustly held inside,” she said. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Pompano Beach comes amid a public outcry and protests from Caglionone’s own family and friends just last week.That’s when Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz toured the facility and highlighted Caglionone’s case, among others.“I am very concerned that there are 671 people in this facility that shouldn’t be here,” said Wasserman Schultz. Thomas University with a master’s degree in business administration, was detained early last month while at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.It was in 2017 when the 28-year-old first arrived to the United States from Venezuela on a tourist visa.
