Back in February of 2013, law enforcement officials swarmed a home, after a government employee who was visiting another house, had spotted some marijuana plants on the property.

Broward County circuit judge, and misdemeanor drug court judge, Gisele Pollack, who was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in early May, is asking to be paid during her suspension.

The internet is full of stupid. You know this. We know this. But The Stupid doesn’t shine quite as brightly as when LeBron James and the Miami Heat lose a single playoff game. The Stupid was strong all day Thursday, following the Heat’s Game 5 loss to the Indiana Pacers…
Biking in South Florida is dangerous. Given what we see in the news cycle on an almost daily basis down here, that can be said flatly. Hell, last year cyclists riding down the Rickenbacker Causeway were shot in the leg and back by teenagers armed with BB-Guns. So, after a…
It appears that the Miami Dolphins are continuing their chase to become the most dysfunctional pro football team in the history of the NFL. Along with being mediocre on the field going on nearly two decades, going through an embarrassing bullying scandal last season, and having to suspend a player…
Medical marijuana activist John Tracey acted on two eminently reasonable beliefs late last July. The result? He got busted. Belief 1: That a Black Sabbath concert would provide a mother lode of support for a petition to put a referendum on medical marijuana on this fall’s ballot. Belief 2: That…
It was an accident we had a fight. When law enforcement broke down the door of Miami Police Officer Carl Patrick’s Pembroke Pines house on May 9, a handwritten note with the above words was found on the kitchen table. The “accident” — a chilling word considering the context –…
Six days. A lot can get done in six days. God made the world in six days. Your aunt learned to bake in six days. And it probably took you six days to figure out that someone in Baton Rouge had stolen your identity and bought $1,500 worth of olive…

As corny as it sounds, Malcolm Glazer pretty much lived the American dream. He started working in his family’s watch company at 8 years old and eventually became the 400th richest person in the world, according to Forbes. He lived in Palm Beach and owned both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers…
When Kay-Lynette Roca’s 28-year run at the Safe Harbor Animal Shelter came to an end in early 2013, she didn’t go quietly. The longtime animal lover claimed she was booted for no reason by a three-person board anchored by a high-ranking Palm Beach County Sheriff’s employee. But when Roca called…
The Miami Heat fell 93-90 to the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals match-up Wednesday night. Paul George had the game of his life, and the Pacers were able to muster a big performance to avoid elimination. Of course, it’s much easier to win a game…
Yesterday, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) released two apps related to lionfish — one to alert authorities when you’ve caught one of the suckers and another to alert you about how terrible these things are. Why? Because lionfish are bad. Obvs. The nonnative predators “negatively impact” Florida’s wildlife…
Imagine, in a moment of suspended disbelief, that your job pays 174 grand a year. And comes with a $1.3 million expense account. And a staff of 18 Ivy League yes-men whose sole duty is to bray loud and wide about the miracle that is you — when they’re not…
The pain bit Jose Maldonado below the right ear, hot and searing. When the lanky, dark-haired Florida State University student snapped his eyes open, he was in the same Tallahassee motel room where he’d drifted to sleep earlier. But then, in the lead-colored hour before dawn this past December 3,…

Kimberly Dawn Lucas was arrested and is being…
Five Florida locations — four of which are state parks — are ranked in the top ten places for families to boat and fish in America. The list, put together by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation, ranked 100 places around the U.S. and, pretty much a surprise to no…
In case you missed it, Chris Bosh delivered some righteous nut punching on the Indiana Pacers on Monday as he helped the Heat take a commanding 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Also in case you missed it, Bosh made it clear on the Dan LeBatard Show on…
Florida Gov. Rick Scott wanted to drug-test state employees, and he put your money where his mouth is. Lawyers’ bills for him — and you — to defend this proposal have come to $381,654.45, according to data from the state obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union under a Freedom…
Although Belize is best-known as the birthplace of chewing gum, it’s really similar to Jamaica in a lot of ways. Both are English-speaking Caribbean countries that used to be British colonies. And even though Great Britain legalized homosexuality in 1967, both have anachronistically retained their former oppressor’s anti-sodomy laws. According…
