    OCALA, Fla. (WCJB) - Marion County Sheriff’s deputies located Caden Speight, 17, of Dunnellon, on Friday afternoon in Williston following an overnight search and Amber Alert. Officials say initial claims about a Caden being shot and abducted were unfounded. Marion County Sheriff’s deputies no longer believe Caden Speight, 17, of Dunnellon, was taken by four Hispanic men as originally reported in an Amber Alert on Thursday night. His disappearance was connected to a shooting in Dunnellon; however, the teen wasn’t wounded. Authorities say they have new evidence that contradicts previously reported facts. Now, deputies say Caden may have left the...

    Would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh was declared guilty on Tuesday on all charges, but The New York Times accidentally published the wrong article. In journalism, outlets often pre-write obituaries, election outcomes and potential court verdicts of major cases before they occur, using the basic facts of the story and adding whatever key details are essential on the day of. However, a screenshot indicated that the New York Times accidentally published a headline, “Man Found Not Guilty of Trying to Assassinate Trump in Florida.” The lede of the now-scrubbed article added, “In a surprise verdict, a federal jury acquitted Ryan Routh...
  • Days before fatal Mag Mile crash-and-grab, accused man posed with governor at ‘peacekeeper’ event — while wanted in 4 states

    Less than a week before a crash-and-grab burglary crew killed an innocent man on the Magnificent Mile last Thursday, one of the men now charged with that murder donned a “peacekeeper” uniform and posed for a one-on-one picture with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. While that’s troubling, some law enforcement experts are more concerned that the accused man was able to stand directly next to the state’s most powerful executive despite having outstanding warrants in four states. Just before 5 a.m. on September 11, a group of burglars backed a pickup truck into a display window at the Louis Vuitton store...

    President Donald Trump warned on Friday that if the Supreme Court shoots down his global tariffs than the United States will owe “trillions and trillions of dollars” to other nations. Trump joined Fox & Friends on Friday where he discussed a number of topics, including the shooting and killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. While talking up his tariff strategy, the president admitted that trillions could be added to the United States’ debt should he end up losing in the Supreme Court, which recently agreed on an expedited timeline to rule on whether Trump’s tariffs are legal. The president said...

    A Democratic state senator, elected school board member, multiple representatives of the NAACP, and a passel of taxpayer-supported public defenders have been charged with felonies for tearing down a Confederate statue and nearly killing a man. You’ll remember the June 10th incident, which was widely mocked for being a play-stupid-games, win-stupid-prizes moment, when those pulling down the statue didn’t bother to see who was standing in its path. Any levity over it, however, instantly vanished when the man suffered severe brain damage from the incident. That horrific sight triggered an investigation, resulting in the felony charges Portsmouth, Virginia Police Chief Angela...

    Did you know that Coldplay’s current live show has a whole kiss-cam segment, like an NBA game? During Coldplay’s live show, stadium screens apparently show unsuspecting couples in the crowd, and then Chris Martin urges them to kiss. I didn’t know that. Neither, apparently, did Andy Byron, CEO of the tech platform Astronomer, which is reportedly valued at $1.3 billion. At a recent Coldplay gig in Boston, Coldplay’s kiss-cam caught Byron all snuggled up with a woman who is not his wife, and that video quickly went viral. Earlier this week, Coldplay ployed a pair of shows at Foxborough’s Gillette...

    The nation’s largest teachers union faced ridicule this week for misspelling “fascism” in a resolution opposing President Trump. The National Education Association (NEA), which represents more than 3 million teachers nationwide, approved the mangled proposal – aimed at defending “the survival of civilization itself” – on Sunday at the group’s annual convention. “NEA pledges to defend democracy against Trump’s embrace of fascism by using the term facism [sic] in NEA materials to correctly characterize Donald Trump’s program and actions,” read the adopted agenda item, obtained by conservative education expert Corey A. DeAngelis, who shared it on X. “The members and...

    Greek police say they have arrested a 65-year-old Lebanese man on the island of Mykonos over the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in 1985 in which a US Navy officer was killed. The suspect, named by Lebanon's foreign ministry as Mohammad Saleh, was stopped on Thursday during a routine security check when his description matched those on a German warrant for his arrest, Greek police told CNN. He was also wanted by German authorities for a kidnapping in 1987... Hijackers seized control of the Boeing 727 aircraft shortly after it took off from Athens, en route to Rome, on June...
  • ‘Idiot’ tourist sits on and shatters ‘Van Gogh’ chair adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals

    A foolish tourist in Italy sat on a chair adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals for a photo op, crushing the precious work of art beneath his weight. Instead of lowering himself and pretending to sit for the photo — like the woman accompanying him had done — security video shows a man deciding to go for it and sit down. The chair crumbled under his weight, as he lost his balance, trying to hold on to the wall with both hands so he didn’t fall. The woman came to his rescue, and the pair scurried out of the room....

    HUMILIATED KIM Jong-un has vowed to hunt down the traitors responsible for the disgraceful launch of his new warship - and they face potential execution. North Korean state media said a group of "relevant experts" were being gathered for a probe to find those responsible - after Kim branded the spectacle a "criminal act". New satellite images showed the extent of the damages, with the not-so-menacing destroyer lying on its side and blue sheets covering it up. Part of the vessel, thought to be built with help from Russian despot Vladimir Putin, still appeared to be on the shipway while...
