Eatonville police have arrested three people they allege wrote bad checks withdrawn from the town bank account. Two siblings from Orlando and one man from Fort Lauderdale are accused of using counterfeit checks made from the refund check one of them received when she cancelled a reservation for the town community center.

Authorities say the three spent over $2,700 at 3D Tire, ABC Fine Wine and Spirits, Burlington Coat Factory, Walmart and on T-Mobile cellular phones and service. The Eatonville finance director discovered the alleged account withdrawls when she logged into the online bank to process checks for payroll.

An investigation is under way to determine why a Port St. Lucie firefighter allegedly took an amputated leg from an accident last week.

According to the accident victim's attorney, the man's lower left leg had to be severed at the scene in order to remove him from the wreckage. It is the attorney's "understanding" that the firefight took the leg with the purpose of training her cadaver dogs.

An anonymous caller from the fire department alerted news sources that the accident victim was airlifted to the hospital, but firefighters wrapped the leg in a towel and took it back to the station. The leg was supposed to be brought to the hospital where it could hopefully have been reattached. The caller said the firefighter allegedly had a family member bring the leg home where her cadaver dogs were.

Orlando police have said a house near the Orlando Executive Airport contained a methamphetamine lab. It was the second time in less than a year that police found a meth lab in the same place. Police say this is strange considering they haven't seen many meth labs in the city. Two men and a woman were arrested.

Police responded to the house after several people called to report the arrested woman's duplex smelled like chemicals and had seen several people coming and going. Neighbors suspected there was a drug lab inside. Police watched the woman at the house dump evidence and arrested him. He was out on bond for housing another meth lab last winter. Two men were later arrested inside.

Advertising your business just ain't what it used to be. Case in point: the owner of an Orange County strip club, the club's manager, and several dancers were arrested on charges of "advertising a prohibited activity in an adult establishment and a dancing violation." Agents with the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigations raided the establishment on Wednesday around 11pm.

The sign advertised nude dancing, and because Orange County prohibits full nudity, the group was taken to jail where they were processed.

While this may seem like a minor offense, many people in Florida find themselves on the wrong side of the law for more serious violations.

A 27-year-old transvestite prostitute is being held under suspicion of robbing another 27-year-old male. The prostitute is also accused of holding the robbery victim at knifepoint.
