TALLAHASSEE â Three months into Floridaâs vaccination efforts, Gov. Ron DeSantis has yet to make vaccines available to state prisons, even as corrections officials have requested doses and identified thousands of elderly inmates who meet the stateâs eligibility requirements.
âThe department is ready and willing to administer, but they have not received any supply,â Senate Criminal Justice Chairman Jason Pizzo said on Tuesday, after having a conversation with state prison officials.
An ex-convict was arrested Tuesday evening after firing shots into a car occupied by two people, missing both, and attacking a K-9, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.

INDIAN ROCKS BEACH, Fla. - A corrections officer was killed in single-vehicle crash that left the Indian Rocks Bridge closed for most of the day while investigators tried to figure out what happened.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, it was around 3:30 a.m. when the driver of a Ford F-150 apparently lost control while heading westbound on the bridge and struck a concrete barrier.
That driver, later identified as Miguel A. Gonzalez, was ejected from the truck as it continued careening into a palm tree and two signs before eventually coming to rest on its side in front of 300 5th Avenue North.
