A father who said he intended to teach his preschooler to swim was arrested when horrified onlookers reported that he had thrown the child off the pier without appearing to provide any instruction.
John Bloodsworth is a 37-year-old father who lives in Daytona Beach, Florida.
On July 15, Bloodsworth brought his 5-year-old son to the Daytona Beach Boardwalk area of the coast. The boy’s dad allegedly planned to teach him how to swim in the ocean during their visit.
A woman who was accused of driving under the influence reportedly tried to explain to an officer that she would be unable to take the roadside sobriety test without failing, whether or not she had been drinking.
On May 28, a sheriff’s deputy arrived at the scene of a reported car accident involving a single car.
When the deputy scoped out the surrounding area, a vehicle was seen in a nearby ditch approximately 900 feet away from a damaged fixture on the highway. He went up to the car and spoke with the driver, identified as Amanda Barrett, and asked her what transpired.
