Our Marine Deputy came across this manatee on patrol. 😯 He is stuck on a sandbar in Lemon Bay and is paralyzed due to the red tide but still alive and able to breathe. A good Samaritan (pictured) is helping our Deputy.

There have been no violent protests in the Murdock area or anywhere in Charlotte County for that matter. There has been some erroneous information being shared which was started by a rumor. The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office is not shutting down businesses.

Over the past six months, the Narcotics Unit has been conducting "Operation Poisonous Fruit", resulting in the arrest of 54 people on an abundance of drug charges. 11 others were still at large when the operation was released last week.
As of today, only 7 remain in hiding.

Q:"What should you never do when you are in your carseat?"
A: "Play with fire"!
We were looking for "don't unbuckle before your parent tells you to"...but yes - also don't play with fire. 😂

A man is alive today thanks to the heroic actions of two Charlotte County Deputies.
Early Saturday morning, deputies arrived on the scene of a vehicle accident where a man was trapped inside his burning vehicle.
You know how in other states parents warn their kids to watch out for strangers when they go to the mall alone? In
#Florida
, we have to warn them to watch out for alligators in the parking lot.
