Fugitive knocks down officer during dramatic arrest after 2-year manhunt in Florida
A Florida convicted felon on the run for over two years on an attempted first-degree murder charge was arrested on Saturday after knocking down a police officer while trying to flee. The Winter Haven Public Safety Department said 27-year-old D'Architray L. Sapp was arrested and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest, along with charges for three warrants, including attempted first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Officers responded to an apartment complex at about 8:20 p.m. on Saturday after receiving a report that someone was at the location with a warrant. When the officers arrived, they located Sapp, who allegedly ran into an apartment after seeing the officers. Once the officers confirmed Sapp was inside the apartment, they took steps to evacuate the innocent occupants from inside. Sapp also left the apartment, and officers attempted to place him in handcuffs. Police said Sapp yanked his arms from behind his body to the front and took off. As he ran away, he allegedly ran into a female officer on purpose, shoving her with his shoulder and knocking her to the ground. Sapp continued to flee from the police despite officers commanding him to stop. At one point, two officers deployed their agency-issued electronic stun guns. Both officers successfully struck Sapp, police said, and he was taken into custody. Police noted that the officer who was knocked to the ground was not injured. Sapp, on the other hand, was taken to an area hospital where he was medically cleared following the electric stun gun deployment. He was then transported to the Polk County Jail where he was processed. Sapp was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest without violence. He was also charged with the three warrants, which were for attempted first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, fleeing to elude, giving false information to a law enforcement officer, driving with a suspended license and criminal mischief. "I am thankful that our officers were not injured during the encounter with this violent felon", Police Chief Vance Monroe said. "Our officers did an outstanding job ensuring Sapp was taken off the street and put behind bars where he belongs."

Publix Super Markets declares Q3 dividend of 11.05 cents per share, payable August 1
The board of directors for the Florida-based Publix Super Markets Inc. declared the third-quarter dividend on July 1 at 11.05 cents per share on its common stock, a company news release said. The dividend, the same as the second-quarter dividend paid on May 1, will be paid on Aug. 1 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 15. Stockholders receive the dividend either through direct deposit or by mail as a check. Publix is a privately owned company, and its common stock is not publicly traded on a stock exchange. Only current workers and members of the Publix board can purchase Publix stock. The current stock price was set on May 1 at $20.20 per share. The board sets the company's stock price by comparing Publix's financial results and stock price to comparable peers that are publicly traded. In April 2022, the company enacted a 5-for-1 stock split, meaning for each share a stockholder had, they received four more. The price was adjusted from $68.80 to $13.76 per share. As of Feb. 4, about 247,000 Publix employees were common stockholders of record, according to Publix's annual 2024 Form 10-K report. Publix was founded in 1930 in Winter Haven, Florida by George W. Jenkins, an innovator who believed in profit sharing and employee ownership with cashiers, baggers, butchers, deli clerks and bakers. Jenkins believed the issuance of stock was a means to motivate and empower his employees, who would then 'treat customers like royalty,' the Publix website said. Publix is one of the 10 largest-volume supermarket chains in the United States. Its retail sales in 2024 reached $59.7 billion. The grocer employs more than 260,000 people. Publix operates 1,411 store locations, 10 distribution centers and 10 manufacturing facilities across eight states in the Southeast.

DeSantis signs school safety bill, adds changes made since 2018 Parkland shooting
A bill that addresses a series of school safety issues, including training for school security guards, has been signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. This spring, the House and Senate unanimously passed the bill. It adds to safety changes made since the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland that killed 17 people. "Every year, we are incorporating lessons learned and looking for improvements," Republican Senator Danny Burgess, who sponsored the bill, said. "Florida families expect us to get this right. We can't, and we won't let them down." As an example, the bill requires that training of school security guards be conducted by sheriffs or approved by sheriffs. As another example, the bill makes changes to requirements about perimeter and door security at schools. DeSantis signed the measure, which will take effect July 1, during an appearance in Winter Haven.
