No charges in Pulse crosswalk chalk protests
State Attorney Monique Worrell said her office would not prosecute those arrested for allegedly defacing the Pulse memorial crosswalk with rainbow chalk.

The state painted over several crosswalks, following federal guidance, that sought to eliminate any perceived social or political messaging from public roadways and streets. Worrell cautioned that dropping the charges in these specific cases should not encourage people to deface other crosswalks.

'I'm not OK with this': Woman wants refund from Sloth World
Lindsey Courtney said she was excited for Sloth World Orlando to open. So, she purchased two pre-sale tickets in January. Sloth World was expected to open in March, but that has not happened.
