Nicholas Carter, a 39-year-old father from Florida, was arrested after Flagler County deputies found his five children, three of whom are under the age of 10, living in what authorities described as “deplorable conditions.” The home was filled with feces, urine and rotting food.
...
This was not the first time deputies had been called to the residence. Since January 2023, officers had responded to the home 16 times, including a March 2023 incident in which a child was found wandering the street alone.

In December, Carter called the fire department after one of his children had a seizure from eating marijuana.

Tampa man refusing to leave sailboat in Hurricane Milton once arrested over claim he tried to set woman on fire

Malinowski made international headlines with appearances this week on CNN and a televised conversation with Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel. He said in a new interview Wednesday he was adamant he would survive Hurricane Milton aboard his sailboat. During the same interview, he paused to speak to city officials who insisted he go to a storm shelter on land.

“I have no fear. I don't know what that means,” he said. “I'm not scared about what happens. I have no aftermath planned. If the boat starts to sink, I'm going to swim away.”

Malinowski is known online as Joe Sea and Lieutenant Dan, after the character in Forrest Gump he is said to resemble with his tan complexion and amputated leg below the knee. He said he lost part of his leg in a scooter crash 38 years ago.

Woman found guilty of murder for leaving her boyfriend to die in a suitcase
Boone initially told detectives with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office that she and Torres had been playing hide-and-seek on Feb. 23, 2020, in their Winter Park, Florida, residence when they thought it would be funny for Torres to get into the suitcase.

They had been drinking and she decided to go to sleep, thinking her boyfriend could get out of the suitcase on his own, she told detectives, according to an arrest report.

When she woke up the next morning, she didn’t find Torres but then remembered he was in the suitcase. She unzipped the suitcase and found him unresponsive, the arrest report said.

Detectives charged Boone with murder after they found videos on her cellphone showing Torres yelling from inside the suitcase that he couldn’t breathe and repeatedly calling out Boone’s name, according to the arrest report.

Well, for a variety of reasons, including some of the above, my time in Florida is coming to an end. In the next few weeks, I will be relocating to North Carolina. I'll update when the move is complete.
