Cape Coral Police said attempted kidnapping probe revealed minor provided partial story
Nearly a week after Cape Coral Police began to investigate a reported attempted kidnapping — which happened an hour before a separate North Fort Myers suspicious incident, authorities say conversations with the minor and his family "may not have accurately reflected all of the facts of the incident." Authorities said a juvenile reported he left his home around 7:30 a.m. to ride his bicycle to his bus stop. The juvenile said he sat down at the bench at the intersection of Northeast 41st Street and Andalusia Boulevard when a black SUV driving south on Andalusia pulled up next to him with two men inside. According to initial reports, one of the men lunged at the child, who said he then got on his bicycle and rode back home. Fatal stabbing fate: Pair sentenced to life for Fort Myers fatal nightclub stabbing Authorities said the boy described the men as white or Hispanic and around 30 years old. The minor said the driver was wearing a graphic T-shirt and the passenger was wearing a puffy black jacket and ripped jeans. They were in a black SUV with possible front-end damage. According to police, its Violent Crimes Unit began to investigate that morning. Police on May 12 stated they believe an incident occurred, but not an attempted abduction. According to police, their conversations with the child's family led them to believe the child may have ridden his bicycle in the path of a vehicle, and the driver may have confronted the child for doing that.

Cypress Lake high schooler arrested for written threats against school safety, LCSO says
A Lee County high schooler faces charges after authorities say he had a magazine depicting various types of firearms and made several concerning statements while on school grounds. On Feb. 5, the school resource officer at Cypress Lake High School was notified by an individual of concerning behavior by the accused student. During the preliminary investigation, the officer learned the 15-year-old student had a magazine depicting various types of firearms and made several concerning statements while on school grounds. Based on the statements made, the officer immediately requested a review of the search history on the student's school-issued Chromebook, the Lee County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday evening in a news release posted to their Facebook post. The sheriff's office said a review revealed a "deeply concerning" search history that included a killer's manifesto and articles on violent incidents and shootings. School Threat Enforcement Team detectives responded and assumed the investigation, the sheriff's office said. Detectives learned the student, over a short timeframe, conducted numerous searches about school shootings and mass casualty incidents. Sheriff's deputy convicted: Ex-Hendry County sheriff's deputy convicted in federal court of using excessive force Since the student's actions disrupted several individuals during normal school functions, the sheriff's office said, detectives established probable cause to issue a delinquency citation for disruption of a school function. On Tuesday, detectives obtained search warrants for the student's cellphone and laptop, where they discovered he communicated plans he fantasized about carrying out. The sheriff's office said detectives had probable cause to arrest the student for transmitting an electronic threat to conduct an act of terrorism. Authorities said the incident remains active as the sheriff's office's School Threat Enforcement Team continues to investigate this matter alongside the State Attorney's Office.

Troopers were dispatched Monday morning to the scene of the single-vehicle crash of a Toyota Corolla.
