Florida man hijacks Key West sightseeing train for meth-fueled joyride on birthday
All aboard the crazy train! A man in Florida was arrested on his birthday Friday after authorities caught him absconding with a trackless sightseeing train, and even picking up passengers, while high on meth. Jonathan Patrick Winslow was celebrating his 57th trip around the sun on a raucous Independence Day when he turned up at the Conch Tour Train Depot in Key West and allegedly weaseled his way into conducting one of their vehicles. 4 Jonathan Patrick Winslow, 57, was arrested after hijacking a trackless sightseeing train. MCSO Winslow allegedly bamboozled a well-meaning employee into forking over the keys after claiming he used to work at the company years prior and requesting a tour of the train, according to an arrest report obtained by WPLG. The confused employee was left in the dust when Winslow allegedly sped away, thinking that surely the stranger must've had permission to take the train. He did not have permission to take the train, police said. Officers responded to the depot when the stolen train was reported. It could be tracked via GPS, but was apparently already downtown. Authorities had a general idea of who they were looking for almost immediately, as Winslow had left his Kia still running in the parking lot of the depot blasting rock music, according to an arrest report. Police were able to nab Winslow and the train was intact. He'd somehow cajoled two oblivious strangers into joining him for the ride, authorities said. 4 Winslow was high on meth when he nabbed the train. Local10/MCSO Winslow 'exhibited rapid speech and appeared excited' even when police told him about the charges he'd face. He claimed he only 'borrowed' the train, again insisted he used to work for the company and noted that 'today is [my] birthday,' according to the report. 4 Winslow even managed to corral two passersby into taking the ride with him. Facebook/Conch Tour Train Winslow was carted off to the county jail. When he was being searched, a corrections deputy allegedly found a pipe hidden in his pocket. Winslow tried to insist that it was 'a weed pipe,' but authorities said it was a methamphetamine pipe. The short-lived conductor faces charges for burglary, grand theft auto and possession of drug paraphernalia. 4 Winslow tried to plead with the cops, explaining that 'today is his birthday.' Local10/MCSO In January, a group of masked teenagers took an empty NYC subway train for a joyride and even posted their entire escapade on Instagram. Two of the teens, including one with a prior criminal record, were busted in February and charged with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and criminal trespass.

How South Florida's congressional delegation reacted to U.S. bombing of Iran
President Donald Trump is receiving something approaching bipartisan support from South Florida's congressional delegation after the United States bombed Iran late Saturday, though Democrats are taking a more cautious tone than their GOP counterparts. Nationally, some members of Congress have expressed concerns about Trump acting without their approval, with some strongly opposing U.S. involvement in a bombing campaign first launched by Israel. But here, most of the South Florida congressional delegation is either celebrating the attack on Iranian nuclear facilities or at least avoiding criticism. U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a Coral Springs Democrat, said on X Saturday night that the bombing of three facilities 'appears to be a targeted strike to defend the U.S., Israel, and allies throughout the region and the world.' 'Now, Iran must come to the table to finally make a deal,' Moskowitz wrote. 'Their regime has had multiple opportunities to pursue diplomacy, and perhaps today's events will push them to a safer path.' Moskowitz was in support of Israel's initial attacks on Iran. So was fellow Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She joined Moskowitz on X Saturday night in saying that 'Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.' However, both Wasserman Schultz and Moskowitz wrote that they hoped the Trump administration would contain any escalation of the conflict. They also noted Congress' role in overseeing and authorizing U.S. military action. Wasserman Schultz told Local 10 that she was not in support of any further military action against Iran without that approval. The tone from the two Democrats was less celebratory than Republicans in the South Florida delegation, who were in full support on their social media accounts. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar wrote she was grateful for Trump's decision. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart said he was 'proud of our exceptional military' and 'proud to stand by our ally Israel.' 'I FULLY BACK PRESIDENT TRUMP's DECISIVE ACTIONS & SUPPORT MORE STRIKES AGAINST IRAN's POLITICAL STRUCTURE IF THEY DO NOT SURRENDER!' Rep. Carlos Giminez, another Miami Republican, wrote on X. But South Florida's congressional Democrats were also less critical than others in their party. On Sunday, Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried said that 'Trump is not the leader we need at this moment,' and said he oversees 'an administration that operates lawlessly and runs on chaos, lies, and ignorance…' 'It's shameful that he is politicizing a critical moment in world history by excluding Democratic leadership and only including Republicans in the war decision,' Fried said. 'Iran must not have a nuclear weapon, but Donald Trump cannot be trusted to choose what is best for our country.' Referencing the party's leadership conference that took place Saturday evening at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood, where news that the United States had bombed Iran rippled through the audience, she said she 'saw the shock and fear on the faces of my colleagues backstage as we tried to process the gravity of what had just happened.' Moskowitz and Wasserman Schultz were at the event. Moskowitz gave a speech after the bombing was first reported, but did not mention the attack, nor did the speakers that followed, including U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, of New Jersey. Wasserman Schultz also spoke, but before reports of the attack emerged. Some members of the House and Senate have argued that authority to authorize military action against another country belongs to Congress, not Trump. 'The procedure should have been that Congress was briefed before we enter war, and that we had a vote on it,' Ro Khanna, a Democratic congressman from California, said Sunday on Face the Nation. Khanna and Republican U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky are calling on Congress to vote Monday on a war-powers resolution that would call on Trump 'to terminate the use of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or any part of its government or military, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.' U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Democrat who represents a district that includes parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties, issued a statement with a similar message, writing: 'The Constitution is clear: only Congress has the power to authorize war.' She wrote that any further action would be 'troubling overreach,' but stopped short of criticizing Trump's actions directly. Democratic U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson had not issued a statement on the bombing as of 1 p.m. Sunday. Her office did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

‘It's just a little backyard': Neighbors say this Florida home seems to be operating an unlicensed restaurant
It's not exactly strange to hear noise coming from a neighbor's home. Maybe they're hosting a birthday party or firing up the grill for a family barbecue. That's just part of suburban life. But what's happening on Northwest First Court in Miami Gardens is something entirely different. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) On an otherwise peaceful residential street, one single-family home has transformed into what appears to be a takeout restaurant. 'There's no drive-thru window, but the orders are flying out the door,' one neighbor, who asked not to be identified, told Local 10 News. 'It could be in the early morning, around this time. It could be at night. It's constant.' Those who spoke with Local 10 asked to stay anonymous, but they described the same thing: a steady stream of cars, takeout containers being handed off like clockwork and a home that's more kitchen than living space. But is this just a savvy home chef cashing in on a side hustle, or could it pose a bigger problem for the community? To get a better sense of what's going on, Local 10 spent several hours outside the home and observed a constant flow of customers picking up food. One man, spotted walking around the side of the house, told reporters he wasn't a customer — just a friend. Still, he admitted he was there to pick up food, listing off items like oxtail, rice and peas, as well as chicken. When asked if the house was operating as a restaurant, he denied it. 'No, it's not a restaurant. It's just a backyard,' he said, adding that the food was not free when pressed by reporters. Starting a business or side hustle today isn't easy. According to LendingTree, over 1 in 5 private sector businesses that launched in March 2023 had failed by March 2024. With inflation holding steady at 3.5% year over year, it's no surprise some entrepreneurs are looking for ways to cut overhead costs — skipping storefronts altogether and finding more creative (and quiet) ways to keep the money coming in. Even if that means operating out of a backyard. But just because it makes business sense doesn't mean it sits well with the neighbors. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it With inflation squeezing household budgets, many Americans are turning to unconventional income streams — even if it means bending a few rules. Neighbors say the backyard setup includes propane tanks, industrial fans and cocktail tables — signs that this isn't your average weekend cookout. Behind the house, there's reportedly a shed that's been converted into a kitchen, suggesting a much larger operation than what's legally allowed in a residential area. According to Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, running a food business from a private home is prohibited. This property has never passed a food safety inspection and isn't licensed for commercial use — a red flag for both consumers and the neighborhood. 'If there is a fire, God forbid, my house is gone,' one neighbor said. 'I'm very concerned. It is dangerous right now.' Property records show the home belongs to Mardelle Gitters, a former restaurant owner whose Opa-locka business has since closed. While several neighbors claim they've reported the issue to city officials, Miami Gardens Assistant City Manager Tamara Wadley said there are no official complaints on file with police or code enforcement. For now, the operation continues. But while side hustles can be a smart financial move, cutting corners on safety and legality can end up costing more than it's worth.
