Defendant captured after wild goose chase
On Thursday, December 4, 2025, the St Johns County Sheriffs Office confirmed to Historic City News that the “heavy law enforcement presence” on I-95 near Mile Marker 323 was the result of an attempted traffic stop gone bad that spiraled into a full-on manhunt spreading east across International Golf Parkway to US-1 near Abbotts Way.






Historic City News was informed that Tuesday, June 17th, the City of St Augustine will hold a steering committee meeting to review a revised plan and fee schedule that City Public Affairs director, Paul Williamson, says will see the group, and the community, through the completion of the updated vision statement initiative launched earlier this year.




The information contained in this report is taken from sources deemed reliable; the accuracy and completeness of which Historic City News does not control and cannot guarantee.
With what some are telling Historic City News are mixed feelings, the independent group, calling themselves “Focus 450”, led by former Industrial Development Authority chair Jim Browning and former mayor Len Weeks, held a reception attended by political supporters, candidates, and a handful of St Augustine’s affluent benefactors who are poised to do the heavy lifting to attempt to make good on at least some of the lofty goals promised and yet un-delivered by the city’s 450 Commemoration office, chaired by Dana Ste. Claire.
