Man climbs light pole in Miramar, refuses to come down for nearly four hours
A strange site in Miramar on Monday morning, after a man climbed up a traffic light pole and refused to come down for almost four hours. According to Miramar police, this was not the first time the man had done something like this, it was actually the fourth. They said he's done it twice in Miramar and once in Miami Beach and North Miami Beach. Around 7:30 a.m., the man climbed up the pole at Miramar Parkway and State Road 7. While perched on the side of it, police said he waved to those below, blew kisses at them and sang at times. He also unleashed a string of profanities while speaking with crisis negotiators, according to police. As negotiators patiently tried for hours to get him to come down, he did so on his own around 11:15 a.m. "This has been his MO, it's not our first encounter with him. We had him about two years ago, and we successfully had him dealt with in terms of getting him the medical care he continue to work with him and his family. We responded with social workers so he gets the mental health care he needs," police spokeswoman Janice McIntosh said. Police said after he came down, the man was taken into custody with the arrest report noting he had mental health issues. After he's processed at the police department, social services will step in to determine what's next.

Small plane crash-lands on Miramar elementary school property
A small plane crash-landed on the property of a Miramar elementary school Wednesday afternoon, officials say. No one was injured. About 1 p.m., a single-engine Piper Cherokee took off from North Perry Airport, according to FlightAware. A few minutes later, it landed in a field west of Coconut Palm Elementary on Monarch Lakes Boulevard, according to Miramar Fire Rescue. The plane was damaged, but the two people on board extricated themselves and said they had no injuries. No structures were involved or damaged. ' … while on school property it is set back and did not impact the school from continuing normal operations at this time,' said Miramar Fire Rescue spokesperson Tara Smith. The school itself was not placed on lockdown, said Janice McIntosh, a spokesperson for Miramar Police. Miramar Police and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating. Officials did not say where the plane was heading when it crashed. Most of its previous flights took off from North Perry, many of them returning to North Perry a short while later, according to FlightAware. The plane is owned by a company called N3055B LLC, based in Delaware, according to FAA records. Miramar has been the site of several small plane crashes over the years, due to its proximity to North Perry Airport, one of Florida's busiest general aviation airports.
