News Segment 1
Water Rescue 40201
On a morning with temperatures in the lower 40’s, just after 7am Monday,
emergency services were called to a report of a capsized boat on the east
side of the U.S. 331 Causeway and relief bridge. First responders began
searching for two people in the water. One man was rescued and taken to the
local hospital and later released. First responders continued searching for
the second person. The Walton Sheriff’s Office and Freeport Fire Department
has two boats on scene and the Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC) has four.
A helicopter was also used. Later in the afternoon the search was turned
over to the FWC.
News Segment 2
Catch A Crook
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office is launching a new program designed to
let the public view surveillance photos typically seen only by
investigators in crimes ranging from shoplifting to scams. The photos on the
Sheriff’s Office website under the new “Take a Look, Catch a Crook” program
shows people of interest, witnesses, or potential suspects connected to
various crimes around Okaloosa County.
Sheriff Larry Ashley says all crimes, including misdemeanors, deserve
attention and this increases the odds that suspects will be identified and
charged accordingly when they have victimized an individual or business.
Captain Arnold Brown, head of the OCSO Investigation Services Division says
this new information-sharing initiative gives the public a chance to view
images that, for the most part, only law enforcement would have viewed in
the past. This in turn gives them the potential for thousands of people to
help identify the individuals shown.
The web page allows residents to link into Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers to
leave their information. They can then be eligible for a cash reward if
their information leads to an arrest. “The two programs in fact complement
each other,” said Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers Coordinator Nicole Wagner.
“We have used citizen input successfully for many years and “Take a Look –
Catch a Crook” will capitalize on the same methodology to expand the number
of crimes available for the public to help solve.”
The page will be updated weekly. http://www.sheriff-okaloosa.org/talcac/

Trick Or Treat
The DeFuniak Springs Police encourages safety and supervision during the
annual Trick-or-Treat season. It is especially important for parents to
adhere to a few safety rules for their children when they are
trick-or-treating.
• Know your treaters' route
• Take a flashlight
• Be sure costumes, shoes, and treat bags are safe.
• Remind kids not to enter strangers' homes or cars.
• Be sure to inspect all treats before allowing kids to eat them.
• Candy that has been opened should be thrown away.
• Homemade treats or fruit should be inspected closely.
Remember drivers have a hard time seeing people, especially at dusk. Never
cross the street from between parked cars. Watch for open flames from
jack-o-lanterns as they can catch costumes and long wigs on fire. Make sure
that fake knives, swords, and guns are made from cardboard or flexible
materials to avoid accidental injury or worse, have them mistaken for the
real thing!
It is also important to ensure that your home is safe and accessible to
trick-or-treaters. As adults there are some very simple things we can do to
make the evening safe for everyone.
• Turn on your porch light.
• Move lit jack-o-lanterns off the porch where kids get bunched up.
• Remove objects from your yard that might present a hazard.
• Drive slowly all evening.
• Report any suspicious or criminal activity to the police.
City Marshal Mark Weeks says Halloween is traditionally a time for children
to have fun, but most often it is the children who can be injured by
situations that are avoidable. Be sure your child's costume does not
obstruct their vision and is not so cumbersome that they can trip over it.
In the excitement of the night, kids often dart across streets. Falls and
pedestrian accidents are statistically two of the ways most children are
injured on Halloween. Be sure that, as a parent, you accompany your
children for their safety and your peace of mind.
In DeFuniak Springs, the DeFuniak Springs Business Professional Association
(DBPA) will again host the annual Halloween Happening on Baldwin Avenue
from 6pm until 8pm. If your kid wants to be in the costume contest, you
need to get there earlier. The DeFuniak Springs Women’s Club will host a
Lakeyard Circle Drive Tick or Treating event at the same time. Circle Drive
will be closed.
