Last night just before midnight, Broward Sheriff’s Office SWAT forces surrounded a house in Oakland Park. Initial reports had it that there was an armed individual bunkered down inside. The situation wound down without any dramatic raid or shots fired, but the big surprise was the ID of the guy:…
Over the weekend, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement made a troubling announcement that could throw thousands of criminal drug cases into question.

Before we begin, why don’t you cue this one up. Now, there we go. So last week was the big lead-up to Super Bowl Sunday, and just about every piece of the cultural machine was calibrated in some way toward the Denver-Seattle head-to-head. Of course, this includes the political realm,…

If anything, South Florida knows how to get its freak on. No matter what your particular weird way for getting down is, you can probably find it somewhere in the 305, 954, or 561. Megaclubs? Yup. Fetish parties? Sure. But one piece missing from the local lineup has been a…
Evidently there’s a sticky-fingered hustler out there who has a taste for only the finest spirits. That, or just some poor smuck had a hot date for New Year’s Eve this year and was desperate to impress. Whatever the reason, someone rang in 2014 with a high-priced liquor store snatch…
Uh, so unless you’re down in your bomb shelter or something, you probably know Justin Bieber got busted this morning for drag racing in Miami Beach. The tween baller was allegedly running and gunning his yellow sports car in a residential part of the beach. Well, here’s a video allegedly…
The two men took turns waling on Jeffrey Worstell. A gold chain danced against the skinny one’s white tank top as he beat the 29-year-old mechanic senseless with a nickel-plated .357 Smith & Wesson. When the skinny guy needed a breather, his partner — a hefty six-foot man in a…

LeBron James is a huge flopper. You know it. I know it. No question. The state rests its case. Sure, we now live in a world where the stout warriors of the NBA recklessly and ridiculously toss themselves on the ground like skinny Europeans on the pitch, but ‘Bron has…
