Right now, let's get to today's top stories, brought to
you by my friends over at on Koshort. For a simple, accurate,
non invasive test that detects all cancers, call eight seven
seven twenty four tests now.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Good morning, Natalie, Good morning, Category five Hurricane Melissa. It's
outer bands are already lashing out at Jamaica. It's still
one hundred and seventy five mile per hour winds with
north and northeasterly motion at five miles per hour, and
its minimum central pressure in the eye of the storm
dropped down this morning to nine hundred and one millibars,
making it one of the strongest hurricanes the slave in
(00:33):
the season and definitely the strongest storm to strike land
this year. National Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan says other
islands need to be on the lookout as well.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
That heavy rainfall threat exists in southern portions of Hispaniola.
We are expecting Melissa after it moves off the north
coast of Jamaica to make landfall in southeastern Cuba sometime
overnight Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Is a major hurricane, So yeah, south Lord definitely a
hub for so many people that have family that have
friends that have businesses or interest business interests in these islands.
Hurricane disaster relief supplies are on their way from here
in the Sunshine State to Jamaica with Global Empowerment Missions
(01:17):
Alistair Kingi saying that donated items are being collected at
their warehouse in the city of Durell.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Canned food as long as it has a longer shelf life,
dried fruit, cereal, ryeman meals, ready to eat, cases of water, generators,
chain souls, tamberlines, wheelbarrows.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's ready to send two cargo planes with over one
hundred containers to Kingston. They will be doing reconnaissance after that,
making a game plan for future flights. And it needs
to be said that volunteers are always welcome. You can
go to the Global Empowerment Missions website and you can
sign up. They have different ships available. I just signed
up for one this weekend, so I'm very excited to
(01:58):
help in any way that we can can. Tampa based
Project Dynamo is also deploying a team of military event
veterans and responders. They have a search and rescue experience.
The deployment operation is called Operation Cool Runnings and they
are ready to go.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, it looks like the eye of the storm is
getting pretty close to landfall now, and we're focused on Jamaica.
This is going to be the strongest storm to ever
hit that island, and it's honestly not all that close.
There was Gilbert back in nineteen eighty eight, but Hurricane
Melyssa much stronger than that one. It's one of the
strongest storms that we've ever seen. This is a top
(02:36):
ten storm all time, the strongest storm ever this late
in the hurricane season, and it's still going to be
a Category four when it hits Cuba. So this is
going to maintain a high level of strength for quite
a while. And when you look at Jamaica and just
kind of the setup there, you've got, you know, all
that coastline, the storm surge that we're going to say,
(02:58):
the fact that the storm is moving so slow, the
amount of.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Rainfall they're going to get.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I mean, there was I don't know if you saw
some of those images out of Mount Dora here in Florida,
there was about like eighteen inches of rain and you
spend twenty four hours and you had roads buckling and
yards getting washed away.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I mean, it was pretty crazy. And there was rescues.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Way. Yeah, just imagine what Jamaica is going to go
through because eighteen inches of rain in twenty four hours,
they're going to get more than that.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Plus you've got the you know, wind speeds and one.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Hundred and seventy eight miles an hour I think was.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
The last Yes I heard, it's I mean, it's up
there and it looks like just a monster storm.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
I mean just perfect.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Eye, bigger than the island.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, so the worst of it, you know, those those
one hundred and seventy five mile per hour winds, they
only extend so far out, but you're still talking about,
you know, hurricane conditions across the entire island along with
again that storm surge. You hope for the best, but
hopefully they prepare for the worst in Jamaica. All Right,
what else is going on this morning?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Natalie getting an update on the Disney World resort and
death that we talked about yesterday the third one and
ten days that it had a TikTok video that went
viral and it showed in a medical emergency going in
effect at the Bay Lake Tower at Disney's contemporary resort. Well,
now we're learning from authorities that twenty eight year old
Matthew Cone had died from multiple traumatic injuries after taking
(04:22):
his own life, So it was a suicide. And this
after reports of another suicide on October fourteenth, also at
the Contemporary, And then we had a third body that
was found a for Wilderness Resort and campground on October
twenty first. Now it's really bizarre here is shocked. Guests
claimed that they were told by the cast members not
(04:42):
to look out of their balconies, and they had hotel
employees blocking some of the windows to shield the guests
from actually seeing what was going down near the pool
area that the police had already cordoned off.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, we thought yesterday that this was medical emergency. See,
but obviously we've learned differently now. And you wonder, you
know what the official saying that the twenty eight year
old suffered multiple traumatic injuries if the reason you at
cast members telling people not to look out and trying
to secure the scene and block people from singing.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Is because it was it was a gruesome scene.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Yeah. Probably, I mean it sounds like he probably jumped
from that tower.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, And you know, I'm wondering, I just don't know
how that happened from the distance from where the windows are.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah, that's what was saying.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Earlier that I was saying too. But then what else,
what else could he have done that would have caused
that type of cats industry? I mean, because we didn't
hear anything about any gunshots or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I just wonder if there is some kind of a
connection again, not between this guest and the thirty one
year old Disney superfan who who died by suicide recently,
but like, it's just kind of strange that you have
two suicides at the same resone this close together. You
wonder if this was somebody who was already troubled and
(06:03):
then saw that story and decided to kind of do
the same thing.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And it's I think it's really hard for people to
wrap their heads around. When you're thinking Disney World and
trips to Disney World. You're thinking memories, time of your lives,
expenses right right, right, But you're not thinking this. And
it's just been a rough stretch for the theme parks
with you know, two suicides, three deaths at Disney in
the past month, the death at Epic Universe on the Ride,
(06:29):
the death over in Disneyland on the Haunted Mansion. That
was a medical emergency. But still it's just you know,
a lot of a lot of tragic headlines.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Yeah, happiest place on Earth.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Yeah, all right, let's get to one more quick story, Netlie.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, hall of famer tied end Antonio Gates under the
microscope for reportedly playing in a rigged Miami poker match.
Sports investigative journalist bab latorres reporting that Gates had participated
in this game with Curtis Meeks, who was indicted by
federal prosecutors as part of that massive NBA gambling scandal
that we've been covering. The federal indictment that was unsealed
(07:01):
last week, naming more than thirty people, including Mimy heat
guard Terry Rosier.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I said yesterday, more shoes are going to drop in
this story. It ain't over with those arrests. And this
is another person in Antonio Gates Hall of Famer. I mean,
he appeared on an episode of the Bachelor two years ago,
had everything going for him, made seventy million dollars during
his career.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Like, I get it.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Things happen, even rich, powerful, famous people, they have their issues.
I just if you if you handed me seventy million dollars,
I just feel pretty confident I'm not going to end
up participating in an illegal poker ring, right right. I'm
pretty confident that I can avoid that with seventy million dollars.
(07:46):
I'm pretty confident I can avoid that now and only
seventy million dollars.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
So I just I find it interesting, you.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Know, these these decisions.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, I think when people have that kind of money,
they think they can just get away with stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I tell you what, these politicians, they'd better hope that
Pablo Torre doesn't venture into investigating politics anytime soon. The
stuff that he's uncovering as a sports journalist lately is crazy.
I can only imagine if he started poking around in Washington,
DC what he would find. Natalie Rodriguez with Today's Top Stories. Natalie,
(08:22):
thanks so much.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Now Let's get to Today's Top Stories with Natalie Rodriguez.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Good morning, Natalie.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Once again, another disturbing story about a teacher or coach
involved with a child.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
And we haven't done this one before. There have been
so many.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Honestly, I wasn't sure if we had talked about this,
but this is new, right.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
This one's a new one, unbelieved, but it's also it
goes tied and tied with something that we did talk about.
So this focus is out of Royal Palm Beach in
the Palm Beach County high school volleyball coach now facing
charges of lude and lascivius touching an offense against a
student by an authority figure. Sharf's officials. They are saying
Arturo Gonzalez operates a private volleyball club for girls, and
(09:06):
they fear that there are more victims. And again last week,
a high school basketball coach from the Belglade area was
arrested for sending nude photos of himself to a sixteen
year old girl.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
It's crazy every single day.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
So yeah, you have two of them today.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah you have this Gonzales, you know, given a private
lesson to the sixteen year old, starts with the compliments,
then you know, rubbing the back, massaging the shoulders, then
escalates it and then he apologizes after you know, she
kept saying that obviously she was not welcoming any of
(09:47):
these advances, and he said that she didn't seem like
type of person that would tell anybody. Luckily, she did
tell her mom and detectives. They place controlled calls to
Gonzale with the teen and she got them talking and
that's that's how they nailed them. So good for her,
I mean, sixteen years old to go through something like that.
(10:08):
She did everything right. She told her mom, she helped
with detectives and now this guy's going away disgusting.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, fifteen year old Cutler Bay girl is in the hospital.
She's recovering from several stab wounds, at least ten of them,
and her twenty six year old sister is locked up
charged with attempt at murder. So the arrest report says
that Lynn Miley was searching through her little sister's cell
phone and when her little sister woke up, grabbed her
(10:36):
phone back. That's when she went to town and started stabbing.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Probable cuts for the charge, ma'am, you were ordered to
stay away from the alleged victim.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Now you think Lis now being held without bond and
I'm still trying to make sense as to what was
on that cel.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Phone, right right, Yeah, we don't know that.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
We haven't gotten any information on the mugshot of the woman.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I don't know if you've seen it. She looks constipated.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Yes, she looks like something's going on.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's a little let's a little backed
up in that mugshot.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Yeah, that's what was she even doing.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
I thought when you did a mugshot. I've actually never
had one done, but I thought they made you like
look at the camera and yeah, No, they don't ye
with her. Maybe they're just like, I'll post it on
our Facebook page. Ryan Gorman Show, and you can let
us know what you did. What do you think is
going on there? What is she up to?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah, definitely check that out.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And and look, when it comes to somebody going through
your phone, I mean, this.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Was a situation between two sisters.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Don't know what led to it, but I will say
not many things are more unnerving to a guy than
his partner, his girlfriend, his wife going through his phone,
because once that happens, you're already suspicious and things can
be taken out of context.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Yes they can.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
The new pictures weren't solicited, you know. Side piece just
means a friend on the side, you know that label,
So things can escalate, all right. Natalie Rodriguez Today's Top Stories. Natalie,
thanks so much. You got it now, Let's get to
today's top stories with Chris Trankman.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Good morning, Chris, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
So, voting in the special municipal runoff election for Tampa
City Council begins this morning. Thomas Scott and Naia Young
facing off after coming out on top in a crowded
special election that took place in September.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah. Or were there like fifty candidates and that's special fourteen? Yeah,
it's a lot, that's right. But what was the number
was it? Was it the twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen primary
for the Republican Was that the one where they were
like I think there were like fifteen sixteen candidates? Yeah,
I remember they had like two roads. Yeah, like the
Big Boy Row and the Little Boy Row. Yeah, but
(12:45):
that's right.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
That was one of those, you know situations where a
lot of people felt they had a chance. Yeah, exactly
when we saw how that turned out new Right, So
in this case, we've had early voting. And the thing
we have to remember here is that early voting's over.
So if you thought you could go to some of
those early voting locations, they are now closed. You have
to look on your registration or go to the election
Supervisor's office website to find out your actual polling place.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, only residents living in District five can vote in this.
That's right, that's it now, District five. We've talked about
this before. So the seat became vacant after the death
of Gwen Henderson when she passed away in June of
this year. But it covers a really important area Downtown Tampa,
(13:31):
the Channel District, Ebor City, parts of West Tampa, and
then East Tampa. So you've got you know, these rapidly
developing areas Downtown Tampa, the Channel District, all of that,
some big projects underway in Ebor City, in and around Ebor,
and then you've got some of the more underserved areas
like East Tampa. So it's a really important district District five,
(13:54):
and voter turnout usually really really low, like under ten percent.
So it's like the candidates and they're Facebook friends and
that's about it.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Yeah, Scott was a top fundraiser going into early voting.
He had seventy five thousand dollars raised young just shy
of twenty two thousand, So obviously you're looking at numbers,
you know, more appropriate for a single district city council
race compared to what you would see in say a
state wide race where it's like tens of millions of dollars.
But Scott was the top vote getter. He got twenty
(14:27):
seven percent of the vote in the initial election. Young
the second with thirteen percent. I think he's the favorite.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yeah, I mean he's the name.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
I mean, he served as a county commissioner for ten
years and then he was on city council for four years.
So he's certainly a veteran seventy two years old and
probably has the most name recognition compared to this upstart
who's a thirty three year old and has been in
the middle of some controversy with their campaign.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, he definitely Thomas Scott I think has the business sector,
the development sector more in line with him. She's got
more of a grassroots campaign going, and and they're only
going to serve the remainder of Henderson's term, so through
twenty twenty seven, not a full term then the last Yeah,
to run again, but yeah, it's really it's experience versus
(15:17):
you know, an upstart politician.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Remember the guy who was running in that initial election
and he got arrested for you know, pulling out a
gun because he claimed some of the Naya Young So
campaign staff tried to uh basically intimidate him and put
their hands on him. So that a lot of passion
for this District five race, true, But you know, at
least it got some more attention. I mean, you know, yeah,
(15:42):
they weren't talking about the issues. They were talking about
this incident.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
So and let's see what's our next story. Oh, this
is this is I got a big lesson. Yes, oh yeah,
that's right. You know, if you want to like, get
the the g scared out of you, this kid's not
going to do this again.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
So Florida man's response to a neighborhood game of ding
dong ditch has landed him behind bars because you know what,
he pulled out a gun and said I have had
enough with teenage pranks. So the incident happened on October sixteenth.
Forty year old Santiago Cairo noticed that people were at
the front door of his Boca Ratone house and he
(16:26):
thought they were going to break in. He reportedly called
nine one one and then armed himself with a gun
and confronted a fourteen year old outside his house. Now,
when cops showed up. He said, oh, I was just
you know, I didn't do anything. I just had the
gun out just to make sure nothing happened. Know, Well,
according to the kid, he aimed the gun at the
(16:46):
kid told me to get down on his knees, and
you messed with the wrong guy.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
He said, you messed with the wrong guy. And had
a flashlight in his face too. So the teen was
then order to get down his knees and then apparently
he grabbed his shoulder and then pushed him to the ground. Yeah,
and essentially terrorized this kid. You guy's going to be executed.
He's probably seen it in the movies and on TV shows.
He thought, this is it, ditch.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, well, you know we had one of those incidents
here recently too. Remember the guy they were like hiding
in the bushes or something, and he went and chased them, Yes,
and he was chasing after them.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
So look, I get it, it's annoying, but get a
doorbell cam and just stay on your couch.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Yeah, the hare get a doorbell cam and then posted
in the local.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Face right, Yeah, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You don't even have to leave your seat, let alone
getting a gun.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Or answering the door. Now, maybe the kids stop.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
If it's posted in the Facebook group, this kid's definitely
never going to do King Dog Ditch again. There's no
question about that, all right. Chris TrackMan with today's top stories. Chris,

wrap their heads around. When you're thinking Disney World and
trips to Disney World. You're thinking memories, time of your lives,
expenses right right, right, But you're not thinking this. And
it's just been a rough stretch for the theme parks
with you know, two suicides, three deaths at Disney in
the past month, the death at Epic Universe on the Ride,
(06:29):
the death over in Disneyland on the Haunted Mansion. That
was a medical emergency. But still it's just you know,
a lot of a lot of tragic headlines.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Yeah, happiest place on Earth.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Yeah, all right, let's get to one more quick story, Netlie.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, hall of famer tied end Antonio Gates under the
microscope for reportedly playing in a rigged Miami poker match.
Sports investigative journalist bab latorres reporting that Gates had participated
in this game with Curtis Meeks, who was indicted by
federal prosecutors as part of that massive NBA gambling scandal
that we've been covering. The federal indictment that was unsealed
(07:01):
last week, naming more than thirty people, including Mimy heat
guard Terry Rosier.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I said yesterday, more shoes are going to drop in
this story. It ain't over with those arrests. And this
is another person in Antonio Gates Hall of Famer. I mean,
he appeared on an episode of the Bachelor two years ago,
had everything going for him, made seventy million dollars during
his career.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Like, I get it.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Things happen, even rich, powerful, famous people, they have their issues.
I just if you if you handed me seventy million dollars,
I just feel pretty confident I'm not going to end
up participating in an illegal poker ring, right right. I'm
pretty confident that I can avoid that with seventy million dollars.
(07:46):
I'm pretty confident I can avoid that now and only
seventy million dollars.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
So I just I find it interesting, you.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Know, these these decisions.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, I think when people have that kind of money,
they think they can just get away with stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I tell you what, these politicians, they'd better hope that
Pablo Torre doesn't venture into investigating politics anytime soon. The
stuff that he's uncovering as a sports journalist lately is crazy.
I can only imagine if he started poking around in Washington,
DC what he would find. Natalie Rodriguez with Today's Top Stories. Natalie,
(08:22):
thanks so much.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Now Let's get to Today's Top Stories with Natalie Rodriguez.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Good morning, Natalie.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Once again, another disturbing story about a teacher or coach
involved with a child.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
And we haven't done this one before. There have been
so many.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Honestly, I wasn't sure if we had talked about this,
but this is new, right.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
This one's a new one, unbelieved, but it's also it
goes tied and tied with something that we did talk about.
So this focus is out of Royal Palm Beach in
the Palm Beach County high school volleyball coach now facing
charges of lude and lascivius touching an offense against a
student by an authority figure. Sharf's officials. They are saying
Arturo Gonzalez operates a private volleyball club for girls, and
(09:06):
they fear that there are more victims. And again last week,
a high school basketball coach from the Belglade area was
arrested for sending nude photos of himself to a sixteen
year old girl.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
It's crazy every single day.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
So yeah, you have two of them today.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah you have this Gonzales, you know, given a private
lesson to the sixteen year old, starts with the compliments,
then you know, rubbing the back, massaging the shoulders, then
escalates it and then he apologizes after you know, she
kept saying that obviously she was not welcoming any of
(09:47):
these advances, and he said that she didn't seem like
type of person that would tell anybody. Luckily, she did
tell her mom and detectives. They place controlled calls to
Gonzale with the teen and she got them talking and
that's that's how they nailed them. So good for her,
I mean, sixteen years old to go through something like that.
(10:08):
She did everything right. She told her mom, she helped
with detectives and now this guy's going away disgusting.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, fifteen year old Cutler Bay girl is in the hospital.
She's recovering from several stab wounds, at least ten of them,
and her twenty six year old sister is locked up
charged with attempt at murder. So the arrest report says
that Lynn Miley was searching through her little sister's cell
phone and when her little sister woke up, grabbed her
(10:36):
phone back. That's when she went to town and started stabbing.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Probable cuts for the charge, ma'am, you were ordered to
stay away from the alleged victim.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Now you think Lis now being held without bond and
I'm still trying to make sense as to what was
on that cel.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Phone, right right, Yeah, we don't know that.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
We haven't gotten any information on the mugshot of the woman.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I don't know if you've seen it. She looks constipated.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Yes, she looks like something's going on.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's a little let's a little backed
up in that mugshot.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Yeah, that's what was she even doing.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
I thought when you did a mugshot. I've actually never
had one done, but I thought they made you like
look at the camera and yeah, No, they don't ye
with her. Maybe they're just like, I'll post it on
our Facebook page. Ryan Gorman Show, and you can let
us know what you did. What do you think is
going on there? What is she up to?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah, definitely check that out.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And and look, when it comes to somebody going through
your phone, I mean, this.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Was a situation between two sisters.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Don't know what led to it, but I will say
not many things are more unnerving to a guy than
his partner, his girlfriend, his wife going through his phone,
because once that happens, you're already suspicious and things can
be taken out of context.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Yes they can.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
The new pictures weren't solicited, you know. Side piece just
means a friend on the side, you know that label,
So things can escalate, all right. Natalie Rodriguez Today's Top Stories. Natalie,
thanks so much. You got it now, Let's get to
today's top stories with Chris Trankman.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Good morning, Chris, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
So, voting in the special municipal runoff election for Tampa
City Council begins this morning. Thomas Scott and Naia Young
facing off after coming out on top in a crowded
special election that took place in September.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah. Or were there like fifty candidates and that's special fourteen? Yeah,
it's a lot, that's right. But what was the number
was it? Was it the twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen primary
for the Republican Was that the one where they were
like I think there were like fifteen sixteen candidates? Yeah,
I remember they had like two roads. Yeah, like the
Big Boy Row and the Little Boy Row. Yeah, but
(12:45):
that's right.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
That was one of those, you know situations where a
lot of people felt they had a chance. Yeah, exactly
when we saw how that turned out new Right, So
in this case, we've had early voting. And the thing
we have to remember here is that early voting's over.
So if you thought you could go to some of
those early voting locations, they are now closed. You have
to look on your registration or go to the election
Supervisor's office website to find out your actual polling place.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, only residents living in District five can vote in this.
That's right, that's it now, District five. We've talked about
this before. So the seat became vacant after the death
of Gwen Henderson when she passed away in June of
this year. But it covers a really important area Downtown Tampa,
(13:31):
the Channel District, Ebor City, parts of West Tampa, and
then East Tampa. So you've got you know, these rapidly
developing areas Downtown Tampa, the Channel District, all of that,
some big projects underway in Ebor City, in and around Ebor,
and then you've got some of the more underserved areas
like East Tampa. So it's a really important district District five,
(13:54):
and voter turnout usually really really low, like under ten percent.
So it's like the candidates and they're Facebook friends and
that's about it.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Yeah, Scott was a top fundraiser going into early voting.
He had seventy five thousand dollars raised young just shy
of twenty two thousand, So obviously you're looking at numbers,
you know, more appropriate for a single district city council
race compared to what you would see in say a
state wide race where it's like tens of millions of dollars.
But Scott was the top vote getter. He got twenty
(14:27):
seven percent of the vote in the initial election. Young
the second with thirteen percent. I think he's the favorite.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yeah, I mean he's the name.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
I mean, he served as a county commissioner for ten
years and then he was on city council for four years.
So he's certainly a veteran seventy two years old and
probably has the most name recognition compared to this upstart
who's a thirty three year old and has been in
the middle of some controversy with their campaign.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, he definitely Thomas Scott I think has the business sector,
the development sector more in line with him. She's got
more of a grassroots campaign going, and and they're only
going to serve the remainder of Henderson's term, so through
twenty twenty seven, not a full term then the last Yeah,
to run again, but yeah, it's really it's experience versus
(15:17):
you know, an upstart politician.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Remember the guy who was running in that initial election
and he got arrested for you know, pulling out a
gun because he claimed some of the Naya Young So
campaign staff tried to uh basically intimidate him and put
their hands on him. So that a lot of passion
for this District five race, true, But you know, at
least it got some more attention. I mean, you know, yeah,
(15:42):
they weren't talking about the issues. They were talking about
this incident.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
So and let's see what's our next story. Oh, this
is this is I got a big lesson. Yes, oh yeah,
that's right. You know, if you want to like, get
the the g scared out of you, this kid's not
going to do this again.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
So Florida man's response to a neighborhood game of ding
dong ditch has landed him behind bars because you know what,
he pulled out a gun and said I have had
enough with teenage pranks. So the incident happened on October sixteenth.
Forty year old Santiago Cairo noticed that people were at
the front door of his Boca Ratone house and he
(16:26):
thought they were going to break in. He reportedly called
nine one one and then armed himself with a gun
and confronted a fourteen year old outside his house. Now,
when cops showed up. He said, oh, I was just
you know, I didn't do anything. I just had the
gun out just to make sure nothing happened. Know, Well,
according to the kid, he aimed the gun at the
(16:46):
kid told me to get down on his knees, and
you messed with the wrong guy.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
He said, you messed with the wrong guy. And had
a flashlight in his face too. So the teen was
then order to get down his knees and then apparently
he grabbed his shoulder and then pushed him to the ground. Yeah,
and essentially terrorized this kid. You guy's going to be executed.
He's probably seen it in the movies and on TV shows.
He thought, this is it, ditch.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, well, you know we had one of those incidents
here recently too. Remember the guy they were like hiding
in the bushes or something, and he went and chased them, Yes,
and he was chasing after them.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
So look, I get it, it's annoying, but get a
doorbell cam and just stay on your couch.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Yeah, the hare get a doorbell cam and then posted
in the local.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Face right, Yeah, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You don't even have to leave your seat, let alone
getting a gun.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Or answering the door. Now, maybe the kids stop.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
If it's posted in the Facebook group, this kid's definitely
never going to do King Dog Ditch again. There's no
question about that, all right. Chris TrackMan with today's top stories. Chris,
