FHP District Sergeant Michael Quade reported to Historic City News that traffic was backed up for about an hour yesterday afternoon while troopers investigated a crash on US-1 southbound, south of CR-204 in St Johns County.

State Troopers of the Florida Highway Patrol have intercepted and arrested a suspect for numerous felony charges related to drugs and firearm possession. Historic City News was informed that the charges and arrests stem from an investigation following a traffic stop in January.

The hunt is over for 34-year-old Keith Kelvin Grant of Orange Park; sought since last week for trespassing on school property following two suspicious incidents at Creekside High School in St Johns County.

Flagler County deputies have made an arrest in connection with their investigation of a 51-year-old Palm Coast man, accused of committing sexual battery against a 16-year-old victim.

Historic City News was notified that the District 23 Medical Examiner will perform a postmortem examination Wednesday on badly decomposed human remains found in a pond off CR-210 near I-95 Tuesday night.

Tomorrow, on Sunday March 12th, limited seasonal lifeguard coverage will commence on St Johns County’s public beaches.

Friday night at about 11:00 p.m., Historic City News was alerted to a propane fire that ignited behind a business on Granada Street in downtown St Augustine.

A swim advisory has been issued for Vilano Beach based on the criteria for fecal indicator bacteria. The beach water samples are analyzed for enteric bacteria (enterococci) that normally inhabit the intestinal tract of humans and animals and which may indicate increased risk of human disease, infections, or rashes.
