Community Steps Up To Help Family After Stolen Donations

St. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Since a thief broke in to the Outback Crab Shack and stole a jug of money meant for Jesse Stratton, plenty of people have been coming in trying to fill up a new one with donations. But the owner says she can't help but look at everyone who comes in with a bit of a suspicious eye.

"Everyone we see coming in we wonder if it's the person. Because he does have a little bit of a familiar look about him," said owner Margaret Tuttle.

The folks at Outback Crab Shack are adding a healthy dose of skepticism to their menu after being robbed this weekend.

The thief stole $300 dollars meant to help Jesse Stratton, a 7 year old in critical condition.

"He didn't steal from an establishment, he stole from a little boy who needed that money desperately," she said.

State to Investigate St. Augustine Beach Police Department

ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH, Fla. -- A standing room only crowd packed the St. Augustine Beach City Commission chambers Tuesday afternoon.

A special meeting was called to discuss what to do with a 50-page complaint which alleges wrongdoings at the St. Augustine Beach Police Department.

Ten of the 13 St. Augustine Beach police officers initialed the bottom of the report, which asks for the Assistant Chief and the Police Chief's resignation.

Mayor Gary Snodgrass suggested an outside agency investigate, stating.

"I believe the Florida Department of Law Enforcement should be engaged to conduct a thorough investigation," Snodgrass said.

Commissioners unanimously voted for state investigators to look at the accusations, ranging from missing equipment and documents to administrative missteps.

As Police Chief Richard Hedges watched, commissioners also voted to place him on administrative leave with pay, starting Wednesday.
