He is considered armed and dangerous, and anyone who sees him should call 911 and avoid approaching. 
• Mayor forges ahead with Pride Month proclamation despite opposition (villages-news.com) — Lady Lake’s mayor has officially proclaimed June as Pride Month after a tense commission meeting where an attempt to table the proclamation narrowly failed. The debate raised questions about the mayor’s authority over proclamations and whether the town charter should be changed, drawing a packed audience and strong reactions from both supporters and opponents.
• Super speeder in black Mustang blames ‘peer pressure' for reckless driving (villages-news.com) — Lady Lake police arrested a 20-year-old driver after clocking a black Ford Mustang at more than double the speed limit on County Road 466 near Rolling Acres Road.
