Man Kicked Out Of Bar Drives Truck Through Entrance

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Orange County deputies caught up with a driver who rammed his pickup into the front doors of a bar early Friday morning. Security guards said they tossed the man out earlier in the evening and that's when he got into his truck and drove right for them. The man, who deputies said intentionally rammed his pick-up truck into the front door of a sports bar overnight, was taken into custody shortly after the alleged incident. Deputies found him hiding in a wooded area on Orange Blossom Trail near Holden Avenue. Deputies said the suspect had been involved in a fight at Chaparros Sports Bar. When security guards asked him to leave, he got in his truck and allegedly drove right at them, smashing through the entry way.

Coast Guard Stops Fast-Moving Boat With No Driver

OFF OF PORT EVERGLADES, Fla. -- Coast Guard officials in Broward now have something to add to their training manuals: how to stop a boat with no operator. A Coast Guard spokeswoman said an unmanned boat was zooming in dangerous circles Thursday afternoon off of Port Everglades. A private salvage company was called in and quickly brought it under control. The spokeswoman said the driver of the boat was thrown off, and was rescued by a good Samaritan. He appeared to be in good shape. Coast Guard officials were still determining why he lost control of the boat.
