Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Teen allegedly picks up his mother, pins her to wall during babysitting spat (leesburg-news.com) — Leesburg police recently arrested a 19-year-old resident after a domestic dispute at his mother's Leesburg home, where he allegedly picked her up and pinned her to a wall during an argument over missing baby supplies. The mother reported minor injuries, and the teen now faces a simple battery charge following his booking and release from the Lake County Jail.
2. SWAT team investigating burglary discovers child surrounded by firearms and narcotics (leesburg-news.com) — Leesburg residents may want to know that a SWAT-led burglary investigation in town uncovered a child living among unsecured guns and fentanyl at a Lee Street home. Three Lake County adults, including two from Leesburg, now face serious burglary, drug, and child-neglect charges following the early-morning incident and subsequent search.
3. Not again?! Construction mud and rain floods properties in Silver Lake (dailycommercial.com) — Silver Lake residents John and Joanne Key, whose property sits within Leesburg's orbit, are again battling construction mud and stormwater flooding their yard, screen room, and pool after recent rains. They say a nearby subdivision's runoff has caused years of damage, while Leesburg officials have now asked the developer to halt construction as they seek drainage fixes and accountability.
4. Week 4 Football Preview: Question marks galore for Orlando area teams (miamiherald.com) — Leesburg High's football team hosts Vanguard this week in a key district matchup, giving local fans a chance to see if the Yellow Jackets can turn around their 0-2 start.
