weight of unexpected news. When the largest manufacturing plant in
town suddenly shuts down and hundreds of families begin moving away,
John must come to grips with the challenges facing his family and his
team. Urged by the school’s principal to fill-in and coach a sport
he doesn’t know or like, John is frustrated and questioning his
worth… until he crosses paths with a student struggling with her
own journey.

A Florida Man used a front-end loader to dump a bucket of dirt on the vehicle his girlfriend drove to a meeting with him. Cops charge that 20-year-old Hunter Mills met last Thursday with the woman on a road adjacent to Phil-dirt Inc., an Okaloosa County excavation firm that sells top soil and assorted landscaping materials. After the woman arrived at the meeting site in a white 2010 Cadillac, Mills “approached in a front-end loader with a load of dirt in the bucket.” According to investigators, when Mills’s girlfriend “refused to answer a question,” he proceeded to commit a felony. “The defendant dumped the dirt on the driver side half of the vehicle, causing scratches to the top, hood, and trunk,” reported cops, who added that, “The window was down during the incident, which caused dirt to fill up the air vents, center console, and power windows.” Mills reportedly confessed to the dirt dump, claiming that he “did this in an attempt to get the woman to leave him alone.” That explanation did not stop sheriff’s deputies from arresting Mills on a felony criminal mischief charge.(https://bit.ly/33CU3PF)

A
Fort Myers, Florida woman who pulled a foot-long alligator from her
pants during a traffic stop in Charlotte County in May and had more
than forty turtles in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles backpack pleaded
no contest to multiple charges Wednesday in Charlotte County.
26-year-old Ariel Michelle Marchan-Le Quire was a passenger in a
pickup pulled over for failure to stop for a stop sign on Oil Well
Road in Charlotte County. The driver of the 2013 Silverado told
deputies that he and Marchan-Le Quire had been trying to collect
frogs and snakes from a nearby underpass. When deputies searched the
truck, they found forty-two striped mud turtles and a softshell
turtle in the cartoon character backpack at Marchan-Le Quire's feet.
She pulled the gator from her pants when deputies asked if there was
anything else in the truck. She was found guilty by the court on all
counts and sentenced to twenty-four months’ probation. She will
also have to complete 200 community service hours and make a $500
donation to the FWC's Wildlife Alert Fund. (https://bit.ly/2KyGAkm)
