LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) – Las Vegas police say a man has been charged with murder after human remains were found in a barrel. KVVU reports the remains were found in November 2022, with 43-year-old Ryan Bentley facing murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges. According to the Clark County coroner’s office, the remains were identified as 39-year-old Rene Olmos Enriquez Jr., who was reported missing earlier that month. Police said they learned through witnesses and text messages that Bentley believed Enriquez had “snitched” to authorities about the matter of narcotics. Enriquez’s home had been searched by police in October 2022 where they said methamphetamine, heroin and fentanyl were found. Enriquez was not arrested. Therefore, Bentley believed Enriquez was a snitch, the report said. A police report said Bentley told Enriquez he had some sort of package and lured him to his house. Bentley then told Enriquez he could either be murdered ...

GAINESVILLE — Florida is on the verge of losing top quarterback recruit Jaden Rashada after a multimillion-dollar name, image and likeness deal with the 19-year-old high schooler collapsed. The potential high-profile failure would be a significant blow to a program pushing to rebound from a 6-7 finish during coach Billy Napier’s first year in Gainesville. On3 Sports reported Rashada requested a release Wednesday from his scholarship papers. The school would not confirm whether the centerpiece of the Gators’ 2023 class planned to honor his commitment, inked Dec. 21 on Early National Signing Day. [  New UF QB Jaden Rashada arrives with big goals, laser focus to help Gators  ] Rashada’s request, however, would go to the NCAA.

With the new 118th Congress comes refreshed opportunities to bolster the economy by helping small businesses — a community that’s nearly 7 million strong in the Sunshine State. And while a Republican-controlled House and Democrat-controlled Senate presents a partisan knot to untangle, there are opportunities for the divided government to roll up their sleeves and get things done. Florida’s elected officials in Washington should help lead the charge. Chief among policies with bipartisan support is the Credit Card Competition Act — legislation that was debated in 2022 and should be reintroduced this year. Previously cosponsored by Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Roger Marshall (R-Kansas), the policy package aims to foster competition within the credit card market. It’s a move that would help small businesses retain more of their own dollars. Elaine Parker, who lives in Orlando, is the President of the Job Creators Network Foundation. You see, every time a cons...

The facility would sit on ...

It’s never too early to start marketing Tallahassee’s official 200th birthday as the capital city, which happens next year in 2024. The Tallahassee Historical Society has already formed a Bicentennial Committee to plan for, well, you know, bicentennial things. The official date is March 4. There will probably be cake and punch in the break room. Tallahassee was picked as capital of The Gunshine State…wait…oh, that’s right…The Sunshine State, got it, because it’s the midway point between St. Augustine and Pensacola. Thank goodness air conditioning didn’t come along and South Florida didn’t grow. The name Tallahassee in its original Muskogean language translates as: Soon the Trees Will Be Gone.

A Cape Coral man was among eight people caught up in Operation Viper, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Division of Law Enforcement investigation involving venomous snake trafficking. The FWC filed charges against eight individuals Thursday, ranging from second degree misdemeanors to third-degree felonies related to the illegal trafficking of venomous and prohibited snakes. The FWC has been receiving intelligence reports and complaints indicating that a black market exists for the sale and purchase of illegal and highly dangerous venomous reptiles in Florida. In 2020, the FWC initiated a long-term investigation with undercover investigators to determine the extent of this illegal activity and hold violators accountable. The illegal sale, purchase, transport and caging of these regulated animals pose a significant public safety threat, undermines legitimate captive wildlife dealers operating legally and threatens the long-term well-being of state wildlife popul...
