A Florida woman suspected of driving under the influence with her baby in the back seat of her vehicle got into an accident that caused her Jeep to flip on its side, and she allegedly left the child trapped inside. 

Early in the morning on July 25, a 21-year-old mother was driving in Clermont with her baby as a backseat passenger. According to reports, the woman had been drinking alcohol before getting behind the wheel. Around 4:00 AM, she was making a U-turn when something caused the vehicle to tip over onto its side and land in a ditch on the side of the road. The woman exited the Jeep, but she reportedly intentionally left the baby inside.

A bystander noticed the Jeep in the ditch and wanted to call 911, and the woman reportedly asked them not to call the authorities, but to help her retrieve the baby instead. They called for help despite her request, and officers from the Clermont Police Department went to the location.

A Florida man was arrested after reportedly misidentifying and shooting at a Walmart delivery drone because he allegedly believed it was a surveillance drone.

On the afternoon of June 26, a Walmart store in Clermont was testing a new drone delivery system in a local residential neighborhood. Agents from the company “DroneUp,” who provide the drones to Walmart, were promoting the company by showing what they can do, and they sent it out on some fake deliveries to demonstrate.

During the event, a man spotted the drone as it flew over his home and reportedly became suspicious of it. He allegedly decided to respond to the purported infringement on his personal space by shooting the device with a handgun. The DroneUp staff immediately left when they heard the bang.
