Jerry Lee King, 21, led a high-speed chase across Palm Beach County on May 4 after police began pursuing him for armed robbery and related charges—Florida Highway Patrol troopers used a PIT maneuver to force his car into a spin while he attempted to flee on foot wearing a ski mask—he was caught, taken to a hospital, and is set to appear in Broward County Court on June 4 at 8:30 a.m.
Forty-five Florida school districts—including Palm Beach, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee—joined a national lawsuit filed in California that accuses social media sites of designing addictive platforms that harm children’s mental health.
