U.S. Southern Command @Southcom

On Sept. 16, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM) forces successfully interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific. Intelligence confirmed the vessel's involvement with the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization. Individuals removed from the vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. After clearing the vessel and disembarking the crew, U.S. forces sank it. JTF-WHEM continues to conduct precise and professional operations to dismantle the logistical networks fueling narco-trafficking in the Western Hemisphere. "Alongside our Ecuadorian partners, we are relentlessly pursuing narco-terrorists who prey on our citizens, undermine hemispheric security, and leave death and suffering in their wake. This deliberate, lawful, and precise operation saves lives and makes our citizens—from Ecuador to the United States—safer." - SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan #A3C #JTFWHEM @DeptofWar @SecWar @USMC @USNavy @USEmbassyEc @DefensaEc @The24MEU

Nash, the golden retriever, had his big chance to be hailed the best guard dog when an intruder broke into his family’s home – but instead, the 4-year-old thought the man was a friend and brought him some toys to play with. He even greeted the officers who arrived at the home with a toy.

🚨 STUDENT ARRESTED FOR THREAT AT MANATEE HIGH SCHOOL 🚨 The Bradenton Police Department has arrested a teen accused of making an electronic threat directed at Manatee High School. Monday evening (8/31/26), BPD was notified of a threatening message sent earlier that day to a staff member at MHS. The message was sent through the MySDMC Focus App, the student information system used by the School District of Manatee County. Crime Reduction Team officers contacted the student whose MySDMC Focus account was used to send the threat and determined that the account had been accessed and used by another student. This morning (9/1/26), BPD detectives, working in collaboration with the School District, obtained additional information indicating that Julian Watkins, 17, accessed the MySDMC Focus account using the other student's login credentials. Watkins was detained at MHS, questioned with parental permission, and arrested. He is charged with making a written or electronic threat to kill or do bodily injury, a second-degree felony. Out of an abundance of caution, additional patrol officers were assigned to the school Tuesday, supplementing BPD School Resource Officers and Manatee County Sheriff's Office Guardians assigned to MHS. Online posts, text messages, or statements threatening school violence - even those intended as pranks or jokes - are investigated as real threats. Report potential threats immediately using the FortifyFL app. Call 911 for immediate emergencies. Parents and guardians are encouraged to talk with their children about the importance of protecting personal information, including usernames and passwords, and never sharing login credentials with others.

Dawn Light is accused of filming Lindsay Clancy trial jurors as they left the courthouse on Monday. A court officer reported seeing Light filming the jurors with her cellphone in a restricted area outside the courthouse. The incident resulted in every juror in the Clancy trial being questioned individually by Judge William Sullivan before deliberations began. Light was arraigned Wednesday in Plymouth District Court, the same building where the Clancy trial is being held. #lindsayclancy #trial #crime
