Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time now for today's stop stories, brought to you by
my friends over at Onco Shore for a simple, accurate,
non invasive test that detects all cancers called eight seven
seven twenty four tests.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Now, good morning, Natalie, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
But we won't be seeing Homeland Security Secretary Christino and
blaming Democrats for the government shutdown at Miami or for
Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport checkpoints for TSA anytime soon. That's
just a couple of those airports to name a few,
and some travelers are all for it.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It offends me as an American citizen to see a
prominent federal employee break federal law and.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Knowingly do so.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Now both airports joining the growing list of airports across
the country that are refusing to show the video. Miami
International says it will continue to play TSA's existing real
ID awareness video, and for Launderdale's main airport saying that
it does not allow political messaging to be displayed.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The Tampa International not playing the message either. And look,
I just think it's kind of ridiculous. I mean, what
are they thinking is going to happen? People are going
to see that in the airports and say you know what,
I do blame the Democrats for their shot, right.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah, it's the same thing as they were putting the
messages on all the websites and stuff too, that it
was Democrats fault.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, exactly. I wouldn't like it regardless of the party
in power if they did that. Although I got to say,
I don't mind seeing Christine don't pop up on that.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And all of that.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
You know, there was a story yesterday that I saw
and this I do like, and I don't like because again,
Christen Nellum stars and most of these ads, so I
like that part. But the Department of alland Security spent
fifty one million dollars this year on ads basically just
thanking President Trump for securing the border you see him
on Fox News all the time. Or they're like, you know,
(01:47):
messages about their immigration enforcement operations, and it's supposed to
be the way they're kind of framed those ads. It's
like sending a message to illegal immigrants, you know, watch out,
we're coming.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But then it's Aaron on Fox News and I'm like,
I don't think they're watching it? Yeah, yeah, Fox News.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Were they not able to buy ads on MSNBC?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
No, I think it's because it's it's a very complimentary
out of President Trump, and he watches Fox News, so
he might see those ass Now, passengers at airports in
Pennsylvania and British Columbia have to note this. They got
a message that the airports couldn't stop them from getting
loud speakers blasted pro Hamas messages and slurs against President Trump.
(02:27):
I guess some hackers somehow got a hold of the
screens and the loud speakers and just started blasting like
pro Hamas stuff. So, oh my gosh, can you imagine
You've got Christy Nolme saying Democrats are a fault for
the shutdown. Then that gets interrupted and it's a pro
Hamas message on the screen. Yeah, craziness going on in
these airports. What else is going on, Natalie?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Oh, We've got a Florida judge issueing a restraining order
against Central Florida Congressman Corey Mills after his ex girlfriend
accused him of threatening to blackmail her and harm anyone
that she dated. And House Speaker Mike Johnson responded to
the news.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
He's been a faithful colleague here. I know his work
on the Hill. I don't know all the details of
all the individual allegations and what he's doing things outside life.
You have to ask him. I'm really seriously. He told
her reporters that he's been a little busy. Quote.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
We have a House Ethics Committee. If it warrants that,
I'm sure they'll look into it. The judge order that
Mills refrain from contacting Lindsay Langston, who was named miss
Us in twenty twenty four and is a Republican State
committee woman from Columbia County.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
She alleges that Mills began threatening her with revenge porn
sending nude photos and videos to other people, including future boyfriends.
Just one of many crazy stories that Corey Mills is
involved in.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
He's a problem for Republicans.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Now. It's a safe district that he's in, but they
might want to find themselves a primary.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Opponent for him.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Behavior is not good.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yes, he's in trouble. It seems like all the time
in the headlines for all the wrong reason. And I
think that's the new line for politicians because I've noticed
this a couple of times, like when we had Senator
Rick Scanne on and we asked them about alligator Alcatraz.
Remember he said, I don't really know all the details
on that. And then we just had former House Speaker
Paul run around. We asked him all the all the details.
(04:18):
Then you got you got House Speaker Mike Johnson about
Corey Miller all the.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Details that anything that should be on their rate.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And then sometimes you'll get those reporters in Congress, they'll
run around asking about you know, Trump's latest true social pots.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I haven't seen it. I don't know all the details
on that.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Liars.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna try that to work. I haven't
heard about that, anything about that. Let's get to one
more quick story Natalie.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
A wild story out of Brevard County. Man under arrests
he stole a vehicle with a one year old in
the back seat. Scary stuff. It happened at a Sonoco
off Us one in Coco, and once he noticed the child,
though he did return the vehicle, Authority say fifty three
year old William Mollis apologized to the mother, saying he
(05:05):
didn't realize that the baby was inside, as if you know, taking.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
The car was okay, I don't want your kid.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That was extra baggage. He was arrested a short time later.
On charges of grand theft and kidnapping.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I could totally understand what this guy was thinking. If
I grabbed a car and looked back and there was
a little kid there, I have no way.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I don't want any part of this. Just a reminder,
don't leave your kids, not even for one.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Right right, Yeah, that was the kid alone to the car.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, I guess he just he must have just jumped
in and took off and never really looked at what
was going on in the back seat.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I think we.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Realized it, like, Nope, this isn't for me, all right.
Natalie Rodriguez with today's Top Stories. Natalie, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
He got it first.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
We start with today's top stories and Chris Trenkman, Good morning, Chris.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
A young woman taking action against County Sheriff Grady Judd,
along with two of his detectives and other employees. This
involves a child rape case. Taylor Catle's twenty two years old,
now a mother, and she said this has been a
difficult process to move forward with the lawsuit because obviously
(06:18):
she is putting herself out there in public about what
had happened to her allegedly when she was between the
ages of nine and thirteen years old. She claims that
she went to the Polk Sheriff's office claiming that Henry Catle,
her uncle or her great uncle rather sexually abused her.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, and it was also her adopted father. I guess
that's right.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
So she was in his custody and reported this and
claims that the sheriff's office ended up treating her as
the criminal, and at one point she was actually forced
to admit to lying about it and then writing a
letter to this guy apologize, and she says that that's
obviously caused her great trauma and now she's suing. Yeah,
(07:04):
so the detective back when she made those allegations when
she was young, like thirteen years old, apparently set according
to her, do you want to go back to foster care?
Because more than likely, if he's arrested, they're not going
to let you stay there, and if it's not the truth,
you're fixing to hurt a lot of people. So seemingly
putting quite a bit of pressure on the victim. Then
(07:28):
of course he wasn't charged.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
She was giving false info to a law enforcement officer
at thirteen years old, Like you said, she had to
write that handwritten letter to her abuser and to law
enforcement apologizing, and then when he assaulted her again, she
took pictures in videos which led to his conviction. She
was like, well, they're not going to believe me obviously, Yeah,
(07:53):
so I got to get proof now. In response, Paul
County Sheriff's Office Director of Communication Scott Wilder car the
lawsuit frivolous. He said, in this case, our deputies did
an extensive investigation and made deliberate and rational decisions based
upon the information evidence we had at the time. We
look forward to vigorously defending against these baseless and fabricated
(08:13):
allegations in court. And he said how outstanding the deputies
are who are still working there.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
When I read the statement, I thought, you know what,
maybe back off a little bit, like you could say,
you know, we're going to defend ourselves against these allegations.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But like your detective, they got it wrong.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
They absolutely got it wrong.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah, it's outrageous and it's disappointing because you know, we
know Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd is all over sex
abusers and.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
All that, doing those big busts.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
So to find out that this was going on in
his department is really shocking.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Yeah, and the idea that his cops couldn't have made
a mistake, and that to call these allegations frivolous, Right,
I don't think a little girl's abuse at the hands
of her caretaker is frivolous.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
No, by any means, not at all.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Now, look, you know, detectives, members of sheriff's offices all
they get things wrong, and they clearly got it wrong
this time. But just the way it was worded this statement, no, no,
it's almost like they're going after or again.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Yeah, they're accusing her of lying again. Yes, they did
the first time and that didn't go well.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Right, I changed that tone of five with them.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
So lawyers for the Tampa Police Department are trying to
bar Elvis Piggott from accessing firearms. After the ex city
council candidate was accused of pulling a gun during an
election forum and a petition filed in court. City attorneys
are asking a judge to impose a risk protection order.
It would require that the thirty seven year old turnover
(09:39):
any guns that he owns and prohibit him from accessing
firearms for up to a year. Piggott told The Tampa
Bay Times he will contest that petition in court, and
it also included a line alleging that he may be
seriously mentally ill or have recurring mental health issues. Now
he doesn't hold a concealed weapons license, even though it
(10:00):
appears he was concealing that weapon at the time of
this forum when he was accused of, you know, pulling
it out. And this was a result of an argument
with a family member of nya young she's one of
the candidates who is moving forward into a runoff for
the District five City council seat.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And as you read through more of the witness statements
of that altercation, it definitely seems like, you know, his
version was that he was approached and people were aggressive
towards him, and he pulled out his gun to defend
himself and his son who was there, his young child.
As you read some of the other witness statements, it
was more he was the aggressor, waving it around making threats.
(10:41):
And clearly there's got to be a little bit more
to it for I think city attorneys to go for
a risk protection order. There must be some concern that
this could escalate even more. And look, I think this
is important to note too, with these red flag laws,
and that's what this is here. He's got the chance
to to contest this in court, so there is due
(11:02):
process because you always hear that when there's pushback to
the red flag loss there's not enough due process, violation
at Second Amendment rights and all of that. He is
going to have his chance to make his case in court.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
A student at Spoto High School was arrested after bringing
a firearm to school. According to the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office,
administrators and a school resource deputy made contact with a
student around eleven fifteen am on Tuesday after receiving a
tip that they had a firearm all on campus, so
the Sheriff's office searched the backpack. Deputies located a pistol
(11:34):
with a loaded magazine that contained seven nine millimeters rounds. Now,
none of the rounds were in the chamber, but the
potential was obviously there. The sixteen year old arrested in
charge with one kind of possession of a weapon on
school grounds.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Doesn't sound like there were any threats that were made,
just that this kid or whatever reason to school yeah,
had a gun. I don't know how he got a
hold of the gun. I think that's the next question.
I'm sure they're looking into. But we see these stories
pop up from time to time where a kid brings
a gun to school.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, River, I think there was a kid that was
arrested the other day for bringing a huge nice in school. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, so it's two in that area in the past
couple of days.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
And then there were a couple of other stories involving
school bus drivers.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Did you see those?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You had the school bus that was driven by a
seventy five year old man that struck an eighty eight
year old man and killed him in Oldsmar And I
thought that was interesting because.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Seventy five year old school bus driver. Yeah, I mean,
you know, not.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Bus drivers.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
So yeah, and you know, having to control those those
kids at that age, My god, I wouldn't want to
be dealing with that. And then there was a Sarasota
County school bus driver who sexually abused a seventeen year
old student after smoking moonshine rock with her moonshine rock.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Can you do you do you have I don't know
any insight into that, Chris, we don't have rock is now.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Like, I know what moonshine is. You know what rocks are.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
But yeah, I hadn't heard of that before. Let me h,
what is it? Some homemade? Let me see if I
can ask CHACHIPETI, what is moonshine rock?
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Yeah, this is I'm not trying to make it.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I should clarify it.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh, it says, it says, this is like a rock
that I guess has a certain look to it. Now,
that's that's not what I know. Can you smoke it?
Let me ask Let me ask you that it's.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Probably you might want to tell it it's slagh.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's saying moonshine rock is a mineral. Okay, So I
guess there's a mineral that's moonshine rock, and then maybe there's.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
The potential to get high or.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
There's something else that sounds like a place you would
go to get high. Hey, let's all hang out at
Moonshine Rock right right right, a place where you can
listen to live bands.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
So a man arrested after breaking into multiple Panela's count
Holmes was charged with doing it while naked, and there's
video to prove it. Panella's Park police responded to fifty
eight ninety two ninety seventh Circle North Back on October
seventh regarding a naked man entering multiple properties and causing damage.
(14:17):
So he's identified as twenty three year old Joshua Garrison,
and he was taken into custody, and there's video of
him going up to these homes with no clothes on.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Well ring video doorbell camera, right, Yes, I just ordered
one because something crazy happened to me yesterday at my door.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
And so I'm like, I gotta get I was.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
A naked guy showing up at or it wasn't okay,
I would have been interesting. Yeah, as a resident of
Panela's Park, it's not unusual to see naked people rumming around,
but them actually breaking into places that's a little different.
And I never understand the naked burglar because I just
(14:54):
feel like, if you've got at least pants on, you've
got pockets to put stuff in. It just seems like
it would be harder to rob a place naked.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Yeah, and in your bare feet yeah right right, yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Sucks.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Maybe like a hat load to conceal your face, Like
what are these people thinking?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:18):

A young woman taking action against County Sheriff Grady Judd,
along with two of his detectives and other employees. This
involves a child rape case. Taylor Catle's twenty two years old,
now a mother, and she said this has been a

was like, well, they're not going to believe me obviously, Yeah,
(07:53):
so I got to get proof now. In response, Paul
County Sheriff's Office Director of Communication Scott Wilder car the
lawsuit frivolous. He said, in this case, our deputies did
an extensive investigation and made deliberate and rational decisions based
upon the information evidence we had at the time. We
look forward to vigorously defending against these baseless and fabricated
(08:13):
allegations in court. And he said how outstanding the deputies
are who are still working there.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
When I read the statement, I thought, you know what,
maybe back off a little bit, like you could say,
you know, we're going to defend ourselves against these allegations.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But like your detective, they got it wrong.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
They absolutely got it wrong.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah, it's outrageous and it's disappointing because you know, we
know Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd is all over sex
abusers and.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
All that, doing those big busts.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
So to find out that this was going on in
his department is really shocking.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Yeah, and the idea that his cops couldn't have made
a mistake, and that to call these allegations frivolous, Right,
I don't think a little girl's abuse at the hands
of her caretaker is frivolous.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
No, by any means, not at all.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Now, look, you know, detectives, members of sheriff's offices all
they get things wrong, and they clearly got it wrong
this time. But just the way it was worded this statement, no, no,
it's almost like they're going after or again.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Yeah, they're accusing her of lying again. Yes, they did
the first time and that didn't go well.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Right, I changed that tone of five with them.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
So lawyers for the Tampa Police Department are trying to
bar Elvis Piggott from accessing firearms. After the ex city
council candidate was accused of pulling a gun during an
election forum and a petition filed in court. City attorneys
are asking a judge to impose a risk protection order.
It would require that the thirty seven year old turnover
(09:39):
any guns that he owns and prohibit him from accessing
firearms for up to a year. Piggott told The Tampa
Bay Times he will contest that petition in court, and
it also included a line alleging that he may be
seriously mentally ill or have recurring mental health issues. Now
he doesn't hold a concealed weapons license, even though it
(10:00):
appears he was concealing that weapon at the time of
this forum when he was accused of, you know, pulling
it out. And this was a result of an argument
with a family member of nya young she's one of
the candidates who is moving forward into a runoff for
the District five City council seat.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And as you read through more of the witness statements
of that altercation, it definitely seems like, you know, his
version was that he was approached and people were aggressive
towards him, and he pulled out his gun to defend
himself and his son who was there, his young child.
As you read some of the other witness statements, it
was more he was the aggressor, waving it around making threats.
(10:41):
And clearly there's got to be a little bit more
to it for I think city attorneys to go for
a risk protection order. There must be some concern that
this could escalate even more. And look, I think this
is important to note too, with these red flag laws,
and that's what this is here. He's got the chance
to to contest this in court, so there is due
(11:02):
process because you always hear that when there's pushback to
the red flag loss there's not enough due process, violation
at Second Amendment rights and all of that. He is
going to have his chance to make his case in court.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
A student at Spoto High School was arrested after bringing
a firearm to school. According to the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office,
administrators and a school resource deputy made contact with a
student around eleven fifteen am on Tuesday after receiving a
tip that they had a firearm all on campus, so
the Sheriff's office searched the backpack. Deputies located a pistol
(11:34):
with a loaded magazine that contained seven nine millimeters rounds. Now,
none of the rounds were in the chamber, but the
potential was obviously there. The sixteen year old arrested in
charge with one kind of possession of a weapon on
school grounds.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Doesn't sound like there were any threats that were made,
just that this kid or whatever reason to school yeah,
had a gun. I don't know how he got a
hold of the gun. I think that's the next question.
I'm sure they're looking into. But we see these stories
pop up from time to time where a kid brings
a gun to school.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, River, I think there was a kid that was
arrested the other day for bringing a huge nice in school. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, so it's two in that area in the past
couple of days.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
And then there were a couple of other stories involving
school bus drivers.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Did you see those?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You had the school bus that was driven by a
seventy five year old man that struck an eighty eight
year old man and killed him in Oldsmar And I
thought that was interesting because.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Seventy five year old school bus driver. Yeah, I mean,
you know, not.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Bus drivers.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
So yeah, and you know, having to control those those
kids at that age, My god, I wouldn't want to
be dealing with that. And then there was a Sarasota
County school bus driver who sexually abused a seventeen year
old student after smoking moonshine rock with her moonshine rock.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Can you do you do you have I don't know
any insight into that, Chris, we don't have rock is now.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Like, I know what moonshine is. You know what rocks are.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
But yeah, I hadn't heard of that before. Let me h,
what is it? Some homemade? Let me see if I
can ask CHACHIPETI, what is moonshine rock?
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Yeah, this is I'm not trying to make it.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I should clarify it.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh, it says, it says, this is like a rock
that I guess has a certain look to it. Now,
that's that's not what I know. Can you smoke it?
Let me ask Let me ask you that it's.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Probably you might want to tell it it's slagh.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's saying moonshine rock is a mineral. Okay, So I
guess there's a mineral that's moonshine rock, and then maybe there's.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
The potential to get high or.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
There's something else that sounds like a place you would
go to get high. Hey, let's all hang out at
Moonshine Rock right right right, a place where you can
listen to live bands.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
So a man arrested after breaking into multiple Panela's count
Holmes was charged with doing it while naked, and there's
video to prove it. Panella's Park police responded to fifty
eight ninety two ninety seventh Circle North Back on October
seventh regarding a naked man entering multiple properties and causing damage.
(14:17):
So he's identified as twenty three year old Joshua Garrison,
and he was taken into custody, and there's video of
him going up to these homes with no clothes on.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Well ring video doorbell camera, right, Yes, I just ordered
one because something crazy happened to me yesterday at my door.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
And so I'm like, I gotta get I was.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
A naked guy showing up at or it wasn't okay,
I would have been interesting. Yeah, as a resident of
Panela's Park, it's not unusual to see naked people rumming around,
but them actually breaking into places that's a little different.
And I never understand the naked burglar because I just
(14:54):
feel like, if you've got at least pants on, you've
got pockets to put stuff in. It just seems like
it would be harder to rob a place naked.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Yeah, and in your bare feet yeah right right, yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Sucks.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Maybe like a hat load to conceal your face, Like
what are these people thinking?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
All right?
