Hypocritical Sheriff Caught Speeding In A Lamborghini On Video
Whether you'll admit it or not, everyone's broken the speed limit at least once. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe, like Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno, you just wanted to show off. A few days ago, The Florida Trident posted a video showing Sheriff Marceno hammering the throttle in a black Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, racing a friend in a Corvette. This footage was taken on South Tamiami Trail in Estero, Florida, by Ken Romano, a jeweler from Bonita Springs and apparently a former friend of Marceno's. The sheriff was behind the wheel of the Huracan, speeding alongside Romano in a Corvette. The video shows both cars doing over 70 mph in a 50 zone, more than enough to get a speeding fine. Romano shouts, "Yeah, juice that motherf*cker!" and Marceno responds in kind, dropping a gear and letting the naturally aspirated V10 sing. Honestly, who can be blame him. A sheriff racing down a public road in a Lamborghini might sound like something out of a Fast & Furious sequel, but this story isn't all fun and games. Just last month, Marceno posted on Facebook that he has "zero tolerance for street racing" after his deputies arrested a teenager for doing just that. He emphasized his dislike toward it by saying "Driving at excessive speeds and putting yourself, your passengers, and others on the road at risk is an incredibly selfish decision. My deputies will continue to patrol the roads of Lee County, ensuring drivers make smart choices or they will face the consequences." If that sounds hypocritical, it's because it is. So far, nothing. The Florida Trident reached out to the sheriff's office but got no response. Ken Romano also declined to comment. Look, we get it. Car people like speed. But when the guy who preaches "zero tolerance" gets caught doing exactly what he condemns, it hits different. Whether Sheriff Marceno faces any consequences remains to be seen. But one thing's clear: the badge doesn't make you untouchable. The law applies to everyone - even those who enforce it. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Shark sightings in New York prompt warnings for holiday swimmers
(NewsNation) — Public safety officials are monitoring the waters off of Queens, New York, after a series of shark sightings prompted temporary beach closure on the Fourth of July. The sightings took place along the shores of Rockaway Beach, with the sharks venturing too close for the comfort of swimmers. Officials with NYC Emergency Management, in coordination with lifeguards on the ground, were able to monitor the sharks' using drones before lifting an hour-long closure at Beach 30th Street. How people are celebrating, protesting and traveling for July Fourth Ahead of the holiday weekend, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul released a statement warning visitors to Long Island State Park beaches to stay vigilant when in the water. 'We are continuing to strengthen our shark surveillance capabilities and safety tactics at these beaches to help protect these treasured summertime traditions. I encourage all beachgoers to stay safe, stay alert and always follow the direction of lifeguards and park staff,' Hochul said. Zoo unveils name of baby sloth after naming contest In June, a woman was bitten on the leg while swimming in waist deep water at the Jones Beach State Park in New York. The woman sustained a non-life-threatening injury, with experts concluding that the bite was likely caused by a juvenile sand tiger shark. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
