Police getting power to make traffic stops anywhere in Broward County

Forget the sigh of relief when you see that the officer behind you is outside his jurisdiction. If you drive in Broward County , those jurisdictional lines soon will disappear. Under a new policing-without-boundaries plan set to launch in two weeks, city officers can make traffic stops in any other city in Broward.

Sheriff Al Lamberti has quietly signed agreements with several cities in Broward that have their own police departments and hopes to get all the Broward cities signed on. Under the sheriff's plan, city officers in Broward would be like county deputies, able to enforce traffic laws countywide, even when they're off duty and driving to the grocery store.

Coral Springs Dunkin' Donuts robbery leads to arrest of 7 men

Seven young men suspected of robbing people at a Coral Springs doughnut shop were arrested in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday, and police say the youths may be responsible for other robberies in Broward County .

Among the men is the son of two law enforcement officers who was arrested four months ago on robbery and weapons charges. Those charges were later dropped.

On Wednesday, Fort Lauderdale police pulled over a blue 2006 Ford Expedition about 2:30 a.m. because it matched the description of an SUV driven during a robbery at a Coral Springs Dunkin' Donuts an hour earlier, authorities said.

Chocolate fans, here's where to get your fill of that dark (or light, or white) delight

Give the Easter bunny a break. Of course he's a tad tubby. Surrounded by mountains of holiday chocolate, who could resist?

Deep, dark, deeee-licious. And here's good news: Dark chocolate, or pure cocoa, appears to be heart healthy as long as you don't chow down mega calories.

Lucky us. South Florida is awash in so many scrumptious chocolate treats we can't begin to mention them all. But to get you started, here's a sampling to help fill your Easter basket.

Equally important, we found kosher chocolate goodies for Passover, too. And along the way, we discovered creative ways to indulge in a chocolate fest.

New Sunrise middle school delayed

Parents of students in Sunrise elementary schools will have to wait another year for another middle school to be built in the city.

The Broward School Board delayed funding for construction of a middle school, dubbed NN, on the site of the former Cypress Bay Annex, at 270 N. New River Circle, where ninth-graders were once taught in portable classrooms.

The $27 million earmarked for the project now will be used to offset a portion of a $143 million shortfall in the 2008-09 budget. Funding for the new school is expected to be in the 2009-10 budget, School Board member Phyllis Hope said.

Kathryn Dykes was walking her dog Sasha in her Mirror Lakes neighborhood earlier this month when three pit bulls ran from a neighbor's backyard and attacked her and the blind, 12-year-old Shar-Pei.

Sasha's injuries were so severe that the dog was later euthanized. Dykes said she was bitten 51 times on her left hand and arm and several times on her right hand.

On June 11, one week after the vicious attack, Dykes, with her left forearm wrapped in bandages, spoke to the Plantation City Council.
