MAYOR BOOKED: If any of her city's 93,000 residents had bothered to check the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Booking Blotter Tuesday night, they might have seen a less than flattering mug shot of Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie. That's a sharp contrast to the photo she retweeted in March of 2017 after Haynie won re-election to a second term in office to represent her affluent Florida city that earns frequent mentions in Hollywood sitcoms and movies for its influx of well-heeled retirees. In this case the mayor was formally accused of official misconduct, perjury and misuse of her office among other offenses. Boca Mayor Susan Haynie Booked On Criminal Charges

DEFENDING STRANGERS: City officials honored the Good Samaritan who rose to the defense of an openly gay couple during a brazen assault. The attack occurred in the final hours of the Miami Beach Gay Pride festival along iconic Ocean Drive. Miami Beach police later charged the four with aggravated battery.Good Samaritan Honored In Gay Pride Attack

WATER RIDE: No, it wasn't an open-air bus. But the union that represents Miami-Dade transit workers claimed it was raining on passengers inside a county bus on Monday. What's more, union officials said that "dozens" of Miami-Dade buses were taken out of service because of leaky buses or windshield wipers that weren't working properly.

The workers were being held by safety ropes after what appeared to be a failure of their platform lift.
