Man loses pants during fight at Florida Wawa at 2 a.m.
LAUDERHILL, Fla. – The brawlers in a South Florida Wawa were baring much more than knuckles — with one man’s pants falling to his knees. By late Tuesday afternoon, video of the altercation posted to Twitter by Wawa customer Darien Rollins had more than 3.6 million views on the social media platform. Rollins, the man who recorded the scuffle on his cellphone, said he had just walked into the store after recording his late-night podcast. “I was trying to diffuse it by then, because it wasn’t really a fight,” Rollins said in an interview with Local 10 on Tuesday. That’s when Rollins learned why the men got into the fight to begin with.
Man accused of slashing girls with machete held without bond
LAUDERHILL, Fla. – A man accused of slashing two children with a machete was ordered by a judge Saturday to be held in a Florida jail without bond. The Sun-Sentinel reported that 47-year-old Dennis Anthony Reid appeared in court on charges of attempted murder and aggravated child abuse. The judge also ordered him not to contact the girls, who remain in Broward Health Medical Center in serious condition. According to police, Reid went to care for the children on Friday while their mother prepared to fly to Jamaica. But the visit turned violent, and witnesses said he grabbed a machete and started slashing the children.
