When a friend sent me a message that a transgender woman was being held in a men’s jail, I thought it was a mistake. As far as I had ever seen, Pinellas County, especially the St. Petersburg area, was a very LGBTQ-friendly place to be.
The entire story seemed suspect to me. Why would the police go to a person’s house to arrest them for failure to appear for court on two red-light camera violations? I’ve known people who have had far worse pending charges and the police really didn’t seem to care unless they happened to cross paths with them.

BELLEAIR â The Town Commission may install a temporary replacement for Mayor Gary H. Katica â who has been absent for treatment of Parkinsonâs disease since October â to ensure there are enough votes to close down the cityâs water department in January.
With Katica out of reach, only four commissioners are now available for that vote. The city charter requires a supermajority vote when creating or disbanding a city department.
Deputy Mayor Karla Rettstatt brought up the predicament Dec. 1 as the commission discussed whether to switch to Pinellas Countyâs water supply or build its own $14 million reverse osmosis plant. The commission hopes to vote in time to meet construction deadlines.
