IT’S THURSDAY, JULY 4TH. I’M NATHALIE POZO AND I’VE GOT YOUR NEWS TO TAKE WITH YOU. TODAY, FALLEN MILITARY PERSON PASSES AT THE FREEDOM FOR MILER IN TEQUESTA. EACH MILE REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT PERSON. RUNNERS ARE ASKED TO SAY THE NAMES OF THE MILITARY PERSON AS THEY PASS SO THEIR FAMILIES KNOW THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN. ALL MONEY RAISED FROM THE FREEDOM FOR MILER EVENT WILL GO BACK TO GOLD STAR FAMILIES. A 17-YEAR-OLD FROM THE TREASURE COAST IS ARRESTED AFTER OFFICERS CLAIMED HE BROUGHT A LOADED GUN TO SUMMER SCHOOL. THE SAINT LUCIE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS EMPLOYEES AT FORT PIERCE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL ALERTED THE PUTIES AFTER SMELLING MARIJUANA COMING FROM ONE OF THE BATHROOMS. THE PUTIES USED SURVEILLANCE VIDEO TO IDENTIFY THE STUDENT, WHO WAS COMING FROM LINCOLN PARK ACADEMY. WE WERE TOLD THERE WERE NO THREATS AND NO OTHER STUDENTS WERE INVOLVED. PORT SAINT LUCIE POLICE ARE NOW WORKING WITH WALMART TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF RETAIL THEFTS IN THE TOWN. THIS COMES AFTER POLICE NOTICED A TREND THAT FROM JUNE 2022 TO MAY OF THIS YEAR THERE WAS A 534% INCREASE IN RETAIL THEFTS AT THREE WALMART SUPERCENTRES IN PORT SAINT LUCIE. THESE LOCATIONS ARE RIGHT ON SCREEN. POLICE SAY MOST OF THESE THEFTS ARE SO-CALLED SKIP SCANS. THAT’S WHEN SOMEONE INTENTIONALLY SKIPS SCANNING ONE OF THE ITEMS IN THOSE SELF CHECKOUT AREAS. SANDRA. ALL RIGHT. WEATHER ADVISORY: WE HAVE A HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT TODAY. COMPETITION CONDITIONS, THE HEAT WARNING IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8:00 PM TONIGHT, WHICH MEANS IT WILL FEEL LIKE 40°C TO 43°C WITH THE EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY, THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE IS ONLY ABOUT 32°C. BUT THE HEAT WILL BE SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE OF THE HUMIDITY OUT THERE. STAY LIGHT. GREAT FOR WATCHING THE FIREWORKS
