Hypocritical Sheriff Caught Speeding In A Lamborghini On Video
Whether you'll admit it or not, everyone's broken the speed limit at least once. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe, like Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno, you just wanted to show off. A few days ago, The Florida Trident posted a video showing Sheriff Marceno hammering the throttle in a black Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, racing a friend in a Corvette.
This footage was taken on South Tamiami Trail in Estero, Florida, by Ken Romano, a jeweler from Bonita Springs and apparently a former friend of Marceno's. The sheriff was behind the wheel of the Huracan, speeding alongside Romano in a Corvette. The video shows both cars doing over 70 mph in a 50 zone, more than enough to get a speeding fine. Romano shouts, 'Yeah, juice that motherf*cker!' and Marceno responds in kind, dropping a gear and letting the naturally aspirated V10 sing. Honestly, who can be blame him.
A sheriff racing down a public road in a Lamborghini might sound like something out of a Fast & Furious sequel, but this story isn't all fun and games. Just last month, Marceno posted on Facebook that he has "zero tolerance for street racing" after his deputies arrested a teenager for doing just that. He emphasized his dislike toward it by saying 'Driving at excessive speeds and putting yourself, your passengers, and others on the road at risk is an incredibly selfish decision. My deputies will continue to patrol the roads of Lee County, ensuring drivers make smart choices or they will face the consequences.' If that sounds hypocritical, it's because it is.
So far, nothing. The Florida Trident reached out to the sheriff's office but got no response. Ken Romano also declined to comment. Look, we get it. Car people like speed. But when the guy who preaches 'zero tolerance' gets caught doing exactly what he condemns, it hits different. Whether Sheriff Marceno faces any consequences remains to be seen. But one thing's clear: the badge doesn't make you untouchable. The law applies to everyone — even those who enforce it.

1 person in custody after overnight shooting at Plantation motel, police say
At least one person is in custody after a shooting at a Plantation motel early Sunday morning, police said. Plantation Police told CBS News Miami that the shooting happened at the Plantation Motel on South State Road 7, just north of Davie Boulevard. Police also said one person was taken into custody but they did not share whether anyone was injured during the shooting or further details surrounding the incident. Neighbors told CBS News Miami that they heard multiple gunshots around 2:30 a.m. "I heard the shots, but I'm just thinking that it's fireworks, seeing as it's probably left over from Fourth of July, so I'm not thinking anything of it," said neighbor Carey. CBS News Miami tried to speak with the motel's property manager right after the crime scene was taken down on Sunday afternoon, but our crew was asked to leave. CBS News Miami has also reached out to Plantation Police for more information regarding the shooting, but has yet to hear back by the time of publication. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
