News Segment 1
WC Mosquitoes
Walton County Health Department Administrator, Holly B. Holt announced the
Florida Department of Health (DOH) has issued a mosquito-borne illness
alert for Walton County. A second human case of West Nile Virus has been
confirmed. The possibility that other individuals may become infected with
the virus is extremely high. Walton County has been under a Mosquito-Borne
Illness Advisory since July 2012 due to increased sentinel chickens testing
positive for EEE/West Nile Virus. North Walton County Mosquito Control and
South Walton Mosquito Control are continuing to spray and the health
department encourages the public to continue to take precautions to avoid
being bitten by mosquitoes.
OCSO Arrest Sex Charges
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has filed charges of sexual battery on
a victim over the age of twelve and contributing to the delinquency of a
minor against Crestview resident Lyle Franklin Forrest Jr. The 39-year old
Forrest was arrested October 8th in connection with the sexual molestation
of a teenage girl. The teen says prior to the sexual activity he would give
her alcoholic beverages, marijuana, or illegal pills. The victim told
Investigator Ralph Garrett the sexual batteries began when she was 14 years
of age and continued until she was 17. Forrest meanwhile said it could have
happened and he didn’t remember it, citing his use of alcohol and Xanax.
News Segment 2
HWY 90 Update
After a recent story about the continuing work on Highway 90, a listener
asked about specific segments and we asked about the 331 north
intersection. The FDOT District Three Office in Chipley says the area in
question is part of the U.S 90 resurfacing project which extends from the
Okaloosa County line to Country Club Drive. C. W. Roberts is the Contractor
on this project. Crews are in the process of laying the final layer of
asphalt on that section of roadway and should be complete, weather
permitting, by the end of October. The Project Administrator has been
contacted and has indicated someone will look into the issue to see if
something can done to help alleviate the joint problem on a temporary basis
until the friction course is laid at the location. The section near the
Courthouse is getting massive underground work on the drainage. Once the
work is done the roadway will be resurfaced and new markings placed. The
work taking place at the intersection of U.S 90 and U.S 331 N is in
association with the extension of the northbound turn lane off U.S. 90 on
to US 331. Plans also call for a new signal to be installed at the
intersection.
News Segment 3
Weekend Accidents
An accident on State Road 79 in Washington County took the life of a Newton
Alabama man and sent his bike’s passenger to the hospital with serious
injuries. The FHP report the Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by
29-year-old Robert Iddings, a Chevy Blazer driven by 19-year-old Brianna
Mazzullo of Ponce de Leon and a Dodge Ram driven by 30-year-old Steven
Campbell of Vernon were all southbound on State Road 79. The Blazer slowed
for a left turn onto Holmes Valley Road, and stopped in the southbound lane
waiting for northbound traffic to clear before attempting the left turn.
The Harley’s rider failed to see the vehicle standing in the lane, and
steered to the right in an effort to miss the blazer. The bike struck the
right rear corner of the Blazer with it's front end immediately ejecting
both
driver and passenger from the motorcycle. The Dodge was following the bike
and steered to the right in an effort to avoid colliding with it and the
Blazer. The truck struck the bike after it had ejected both rider and
passenger and had fallen onto its right side. The driver of the Harley was
pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. Alcohol tests and charges are
pending.
An accident in Walton County at Moll Drive resulted in a crash, but no
injuries. A 2010 International driven by Coy Suprise of Santa Rosa Beach
was stopped in the left turning lane from 98 onto Moll Drive. A Nissan
driven by 42-year-old Daniel Robertson was westbound on 98. A Ford F-150,
driven by 29-year-old Sean Miller of Santa Rosa Beach was stopped on the
paved portion of the median. The first vehicle was attempting to reenter
the westbound lanes and make a right turn onto Church Street. The FHP says
the first driver failed to see the second vehicle, they crashed and began
to rotate, with the second vehicle striking the third.
And it was a vehicle versus a Winn Dixie early Sunday morning. Around 2:15
a 2009 Dodge car, driven by 27-year-old Peter Dyer of Destin was westbound
on U.S. 98 in the inside lane at a high rate of speed and failed to
maintain at a curve. The car travelled across the center median and the
eastbound lanes and onto the eastbound shoulder, through shrubbery, through
the parking lot and struck the front of the Winn Dixie. The car came to a
rest almost completely inside the store. The driver was taken to Sacred
Heart via Air Ambulance. Alcohol tests are pending. Charges are pending
blood tests.
