What Happened In Jacksonville Over The Weekend |
Beach Blanket Brawls and Bullets: Not Your Typical Sunday Funday
Let's face it, Jacksonville Beach is usually all about catching rays and sipping frozen margaritas. But this weekend, things took a turn for the dramatic. A shooting near Second Avenue sent beachgoers scrambling for cover faster than a seagull after a dropped french fry. Thankfully, the good guys at the Jacksonville Beach PD are on the case, but multiple suspects are still at large. So, if you see someone with suspicious tan lines (from hiding in the dunes, not the beach) – give the cops a shout!
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
Meanwhile, in a different part of town: The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office wasn't exactly chilling on the sidelines. Sheriff Waters himself ditched the donuts and coffee for a "Walk in the Park" with residents in the Beacon Hills and Harbor communities. Now, that's some serious community policing!
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
From Shootouts to Cold Cases: The JSO Never Sleeps
Speaking of the Sheriff's Office, they've been busy this week. Not only were they out meeting the public, but they also released a new "Cold Case Spotlight" featuring the unsolved disappearance of Lawanna McDaniel. If you have any info, even a tiny crumb, dust it off and send it their way! Every lead helps bring closure to these unsolved cases.
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
But wait, there's more! The JSO also released a critical incident briefing for a May 26th officer-involved shooting. Transparency is key, folks!
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
