\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNOW. IT IS 5:00 AND IT FEELS LIKE FALL OUTSIDE. WE LOVE IT. THANKS FOR STARTING YOUR DAY WITH US. I\u2019M CHRISTINA WATKINS. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH US. I\u2019M ALAN CAMPBELL AND YES, THIS MORNING I GOT OUTSIDE AND I WAS THINKING, DO I NEED A SWEATER TODAY? MAYBE A JACKET? YES. I DON\u2019T KNOW, CHECK IN RIGHT NOW WITH FIRST WARNING. METEOROLOGIST CAM TRAN FOR A LOOK AT OUR FRIDAY FORECAST AND CAM. IT IS COOL OUT THERE THIS MORNING, BUT IT FEELS GREAT. IT DOES FEEL GREAT. AND THE QUICK ANSWER TO THE QUESTION DO YOU NEED A JACKET? YES, BECAUSE LOOK AT THESE TEMPERATURES 60 RIGHT NOW IN DELAND. WE\u2019RE AT 52 IN OCALA THIS MORNING A NICE REFRESHING START AT 57 RIGHT NOW IN WILDWOOD. SO YEP YOU\u2019LL DEFINITELY NEED THAT JACKET THIS MORNING. BUT YOU\u2019LL LIKELY BE SHUTTING IT LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. WE ARE LOOKING AT AN ABUNDANCE OF SUNSHINE TODAY AND DRY CONDITIONS, AND THAT IS GOING TO ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE LOW 80S LATER TODAY. SO IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A NICE DAY TO GET OUTSIDE. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT THOSE HIGH TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON. WE ARE LOOKING AT HIGHS RIGHT AROUND THE LOW 80S OUT THERE. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT OUR FIRST WARNING RADAR. WE ARE LOOKING AT DRY CONDITIONS OUT THIS MORNING. AND AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR DAY PLANNER, GORGEOUS SUNSHINE WITH A HIGH OF 83 DEGREES. I AM TRACKING THE LATEST ON TROPICAL STORM MELISSA. THE 5:00 ADVISORY JUST CAME IN. I\u2019LL HAVE YOU THE UPDATE COMING UP IN 15 MINUTES OR LESS THAN 15 MINUTES. BUT FOR NOW, LET\u2019S TAKE A LOOK AT THE ROADWAYS THIS MORNING WITH MEAGHAN MACKEY CAM. THERE\u2019S A CRASH IN APOPKA. STARTING OFF OUR FRIDAY. IT\u2019S AT SOUTH BINION ROAD. THIS IS RIGHT AT SHEAF ROAD OFF OF THE 4.29. THIS IS AGAIN IN APOPKA. REPORTED AROUND 430 THIS MORNING. SO WITHIN THE LAST 30 MINUTES, FHP SAYS ALL LANES ARE BLOCKED HERE. SO AVOID THAT STRETCH OF BINION ROAD. TO BE HONEST, I HAVEN\u2019T COVERED THE CRASH HERE. I DON\u2019T THINK IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. SO THIS IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO IMPACT A WHOLE LOT OF YOU THIS MORNING. BUT I DID WANT TO MENTION IT. IF YOU DO TRAVEL IN APOPKA FOR THAT MORNING DRIVE, I-4, THIS IS A LIVE LOOK IN SEMINOLE COUNTY, TRAVELING NEAR LAKE MARY BOULEVARD. NO ISSUES IN EITHER DIRECTION. YOU CAN SEE A VERY NICE QUIET START ALONG THE I-4 CORRIDOR. IT IS A FRIDAY THOUGH, SO WE\u2019LL CHECK IN WITH SOME OF THOSE TSA WAIT TIMES AT ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. THIS MORNING, THE ESTRANGED WIFE OF SUSPENDED OSCEOLA COUNTY SHERIFF MARCOS LOPEZ IS BACK BEHIND BARS. DEPUTIES ARRESTED HER AGAIN, THIS TIME FOR A NEW CHARGE, AND SHE\u2019S SET TO FACE A JUDGE TODAY. WESH TWO WAS THE ONLY STATION TO TALK TO HER ATTORNEY FOLLOWING THIS ARREST. WESH TWO SPENCER TRACY IS LIVE FOR US THIS MORNING AT THE OSCEOLA COUNTY JAIL. SPENCER. SHE SAYS NO ONE SAW THIS COMING. ALAN. THAT\u2019S RIGHT. I MEAN, HER ATTORNEY WAS JUST AS SHOCKED AS ROBIN LOPEZ WAS. I MEAN, SHE SAYS THE ROBIN WAS AT HOME WITH HER CHILD WHEN DEPUTIES SHOWED UP AT HER DOOR. WE KNOW YESTERDAY SHE WAS HERE AT THE OSCEOLA, OSCEOLA COUNTY JAIL, WHERE SHE STILL REMAINS THIS MORNING. AND THAT\u2019S YESTERDAY WHERE SHE WENT THROUGH THAT BOOKING PROCESS. AND WHEN WE SPOKE WITH HER ATTORNEY, SHE TELLS US THAT ROBIN CHARGE IS RELATED TO HER BOND APPLICATION. SHE WAS GRANTED A $4,000 BOND BACK IN JULY ON A CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT RACKETEERING CHARGE COMMITTED TO HER ESTRANGED HUSBAND\u2019S ALLEGED INVOLVEMENT IN AN ILLEGAL GAMBLING OPERATION. THE CHARGE HE\u2019S FACING AS OF THURSDAY IS PROVIDING FALSE OR MISLEADING INFORMATION OR OMITTING MATERIAL INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH AN APPLICATION FOR BAIL OR FOR MODIFICATION OF A BAIL BOND. NOW, HER ATTORNEY SAYS SHE WAS JUST AS SHOCKED AS ROBIN WAS. SHE WAS HOME WITH HER CHILD AND, YOU KNOW, IT JUST IN A NORMAL AFTERNOON AND WE HAD NO IDEA THAT, YOU KNOW, DEPUTIES WOULD BE ARRIVING TO OUR HOUSE OR THAT STATEWIDE WAS PURSUING ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGE. NOW, YARD ALSO TELLS US SHE IS LIMITED INFORMATION RELATED TO ROBYN\u2019S NEW CHARGE. SHE SAYS SHE DID REQUEST THE PROBABLE CAUSE AFFIDAVIT FROM THE STATEWIDE PROSECUTOR, BUT WASN\u2019T GIVEN IT. SHE ALSO TOLD US THAT ROBYN\u2019S NIGHT IN JAIL WOULD DEFINITELY BE A DIFFICULT ONE. NOW, WE KNOW THAT LOPEZ IS SCHEDULED TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE THIS AFTERNOON AT 130, AND WE ALSO HEAR FROM HER ATTORNEY THAT SHE MAY BE MOVED TO LAKE COUNTY AFTER THIS APPEARANCE. OF COURSE, WE\u2019LL CONTINUE TO BRING YOU THE LATEST ON AIR AND ONLINE. I\u2019M COVERING OSCEOLA COUNTY LIVE IN KISSIMMEE. SPENCER TRACY, WESH TWO NEWS. RIGHT NOW SUSPENDED OSCEOLA COUNTY SHERIFF MARCOS LOPEZ IS ASKING FOR HIS TRIAL TO GET PUSHED BACK SO HIS LAWYERS CAN REVIEW EVIDENCE FROM THE STATE. IT HAS TO DO WITH AN ILLEGAL GAMBLING OPERATION. INVESTIGATORS SAY LOPEZ USED HIS POSITION AS SHERIFF TO PROTECT THE OPERATION FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT. SO FAR, THREE CO-DEFENDANTS, SHELDON WEATHERHOLT, SHARON FREDRICK AND CAROL KOTEY HAVE TAKEN PLEA DEALS. WESH TWO HAS STAYED ON TOP OF THIS CASE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, AND TODAY YOU CAN COUNT ON WESH TWO TO BE INSIDE THE COURTROOM WHEN SHE GOES BEFORE A JUDGE. RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE WESH TWO NEWS APP SO YOU CAN GET THE NEXT BREAKING UPDATE. IT IS 504 THIS MORNING. NINE CHILDREN ARE IN THE HOSPITAL AFTER THIS CRASH IN ORANGE COUNTY. IT HAPPENED ON RALEIGH STREET IN IVY LANE IN ORLANDO AROUND 630 LAST NIGHT. FIRST WARNING TRAFFIC EXPERT MEAGHAN MACKEY JOINS US NOW. AND MEGAN, NEIGHBORS TELL US THEY HEARD SCREECHING AND THEN SAW RED ALFA ROMEO HIT A NISSAN ALTIMA FROM BEHIND. YEAH. AND THEN THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL SAYS THE NISSAN RAN OFF THE ROAD AND SLAMMED INTO A TREE WITH ALL THOSE KIDS INSIDE. AMY HIT IT AGAIN, AND HE COULDN\u2019T EVEN, LIKE, STOP. LIKE HE JUST HEARD. I\u2019M SORRY. AND. HE WAS ON THE PHONE, LITERALLY, BECAUSE THAT\u2019S WHAT — ME OFF. AND THEN ALL THE KIDS WAS RUNNING OUT OF THE CAR. A NURSE WHO LIVES NEAR WHERE THE CRASH HAPPENED SAYS SHE HELPED THE CHILDREN BEFORE PARAMEDICS ARRIVED. I JUST WE GOT HIM OUT. WE GOT WE GOT HIM TO THE HOSPITAL. THE TRAUMA TEAM CAME IN. THEY THEY DID THE TRAUMA ALERT. THEY GOT IT READY AND THEY GOT ALL THE KIDS OFF. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT THE YOUNG GIRL DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE HER SIBLINGS, AND STOOD STEADFAST BY THE SIBLINGS, AND REFUSED TO MOVE UNTIL ALL HER SIBLINGS WERE OFF SCENE. IT WAS A GROUP EFFORT. IT WASN\u2019T JUST ME. NEIGHBORS THAT DON\u2019T EVEN GET ALONG CAME OUT TO HELP EACH OTHER. AGAIN, NINE CHILDREN WERE TAKEN TO ARNOLD PALMER HOSPITAL AND AT LAST CHECKED, THEY ARE ALL STABLE. CHRISTINA 505. NOW LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT THE SCANDAL ROCKING THE NBA THIS MORNING. A HEAD COACH AND A PLAYER FACING FEDERAL CHARGES ACCUSED OF PLAYING A ROLE IN AN ILLEGAL GAMBLING SCHEME WITH TIES TO THE MAFIA. WE BROKE THE NEWS RIGHT HERE ON SUNRISE YESTERDAY WHEN THE FBI ARRESTED DOZENS OF PEOPLE. THAT INCLUDES MIAMI HEAT GUARD TERRY ROZIER AND PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS HEAD COACH CHAUNCEY BILLUPS. ROZIER WAS HERE IN ORLANDO BECAUSE THE HEAT PLAYED THE MAGIC WEDNESDAY NIGHT. NOT ONLY DID WE CRACK INTO THE FRAUD THAT THESE PERPETRATORS COMMITTED ON THE GRAND STAGE OF THE NBA, BUT WE ALSO ENTERED AND EXECUTED A SYSTEM OF JUSTICE AGAINST LA COSA NOSTRA TO INCLUDE THE BONANNO, GAMBINO, GENOVESE AND LUCCHESE CRIME FAMILIES. SO THIS MORNING, ROZIER FACES CONSPIRACY CHARGES RELATED TO MONEY LAUNDERING AND WIRE FRAUD. PROSECUTORS SAY EACH OF THOSE CRIMES WILL BE PUNISHABLE BY UP TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON IF CONVICTED. CHECK OUT THIS EXCLUSIVE WESH TWO VIDEO WE SHOT AS ROZIER LEFT FEDERAL COURT IN ORLANDO. ONCE HE GOT OUT OF JAIL ON BOND YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. THE JUDGE ORDERED HE GIVE A DNA SAMPLE AND GIVE UP HIS PASSPORT BY 4:00 THIS AFTERNOON. THE INDICTMENT MENTIONS THE ORLANDO MAGIC IN CONTEXT OF A GAME ON APRIL 6TH, 2023, AGAINST THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. IT SAYS ONE OF THE DEFENDANTS AND A COCONSPIRATOR LEVERAGED A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STARTING PLAYER TO GET NONPUBLIC INFORMATION. THE DOCUMENT DOESN\u2019T NAME THAT STARTING PLAYER. IT DOES SAY THE PLAYER SHARED INFORMATION SHOWING THE MAGIC WOULDN\u2019T BE PLAYING ALL OF THEIR REGULAR STARTERS BEFORE THAT BECAME PUBLIC INFORMATION. THE DOCUMENT SAYS THE DEFENDANT THEN USED THAT INFORMATION TO MAKE AN $11,000 BET. THE CAVS WOULD WIN, WHICH ENDED UP BEING SUCCESSFUL. NEITHER THE TEAM OR THE PLAYER ARE ACCUSED OF ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. A FORMER HUNTER\u2019S CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER WILL SPEND LIFE IN PRISON FOR FORCING CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS FIVE YEARS OLD INTO SEX, ACTS AND –. LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ARRESTED A TAULA, BRETT BONINE, AT THE HOME HE SHARES WITH HIS PARENTS LAST FEBRUARY. HE PLEADED GUILTY. HE USED THE GAMING AND CHAT PLATFORM DISCORD TO CONNECT WITH AS MANY AS 30 CHILDREN. HIS LAWYER CLAIMS THE LIFE SENTENCE WAS HARSH. WE\u2019RE COMING UP NOW ON 508 AND THIS MORNING. WE\u2019RE NOW ENTERING DAY 24 OF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN THE SENATE. WON\u2019T BE IN SESSION TODAY, WHICH MEANS THE SHUTDOWN WILL CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK. AND THIS MORNING, MANY FEDERAL WORKERS ARE MISSING THEIR FIRST FULL PAYCHECK. SENATE DEMOCRATS BLOCKED A GOP LED MEASURE THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED FOR ESSENTIAL FEDERAL WORKERS TO BE PAID DURING THE SHUTDOWN. MANY DEMOCRATS SAY THEY WANT LEGISLATION THAT PAYS ALL FEDERAL WORKERS THROUGH THE SHUTDOWN, INCLUDING WORKERS ON FURLOUGH. REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP THREW COLD WATER ON THAT IDEA. MEANWHILE, SOLDIERS WHO WERE PREPARING TO LEAVE THE ARMY JUST HAD THEIR ENLISTMENT CONTRACT EXTENDED BY 45 DAYS BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. IT\u2019S NOT CLEAR HOW MANY SOLDIERS WILL BE IMPACTED BY THE DECISION. ALSO, DON\u2019T FORGET TODAY IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN A FOOD DRIVE AT THE ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. THEY\u2019RE COLLECTING NONPERISHABLE FOOD, TOILETRIES, BABY SUPPLIES AND EVEN $10 GIFT CARDS FOR PEOPLE IMPACTED BY THIS SHUTDOWN. 508 NOW WE ARE TRACKING TROPICAL STORM MELISSA THIS MORNING AS IT MOVES NORTHWEST THROUGH THE CARIBBEAN. LOOK AT THIS NEW VIDEO FROM OVERNIGHT. IT SHOWS JUST SOME OF THE FLOODING IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. THE SLOWER MELISSA MOVES, THE MORE RAIN IT DUMPS IN THIS AREA. HAITI, JAMAICA AND THE D.R. COULD LIKELY FACE DAYS OF DOWNPOURS, MAYBE EVEN LANDSLIDES. FIRST WARNING METEOROLOGIST CAM TRAN TRACKING IT ALL FOR US. AND MELISSA CAM SEEMS TO CONTINUE TO GAIN STRENGTH, EVENTUALLY MAKING ITS WAY INTO A HURRICANE. THAT\u2019S RIGHT. IT\u2019S EXPECTED TO BE A VERY POWERFUL CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE BY NEXT WEEK. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT THE LATEST. THE 5:00 UPDATE JUST CAME DOWN WITH MELISSA WINDS OF 45MPH. BUT ONE THING OF NOTE IT IS STATIONARY. IT\u2019S NOT MOVING. AND THAT\u2019S ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS WITH MELISSA BECAUSE IT\u2019S NOT MOVING. IT IS GOING TO DUMP A LOT OF HEAVY RAINFALL TO OUR ISLAND NATIONS THERE IN THE CARIBBEAN. LET ME SHOW YOU THE LATEST TRACK BEFORE I SHOW YOU THOSE IMPRESSIVE RAINFALL AMOUNTS. WE ARE EXPECTING THIS TO INTENSIFY TO A CATEGORY ONE HURRICANE BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON, AS IT REALLY TAPS INTO THE WARM WATERS OF THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN. AND THEN IT RAPIDLY INTENSIFIES TO A CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE. BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AS IT\u2019S MOVING JUST TO THE SOUTH OF JAMAICA. THEN EARLY NEXT WEEK ON TUESDAY, YOU CAN SEE IT BECOMES A CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE AS WINDS OF 145MPH. AS IT\u2019S NEARING THE WESTERN END OF JAMAICA. AND THEN IT\u2019S STILL A POWERFUL CATEGORY FOUR STORM AS IT\u2019S NEARING CUBA BY WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SO SLOW, WE COULD SEE CATASTROPHIC LANDSLIDES IN HAITI, AS WELL AS THE SOUTHERN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. WE CAN SEE AREAS OVER A FOOT OF RAINFALL IN JAMAICA. SOUTHERN COAST OF HAITI COULD ALSO SEE SOME LOCALIZED AREAS PICKING UP OVER A FOOT OF RAINFALL, AND THAT RAINFALL COULD STRETCH INTO CUBA BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, AS AGAIN, THE SYSTEM MAKES THAT CURVE TO THE NORTHEAST TOWARDS CUBA. THAT\u2019S A LOOK AT THE TROPICS. LET\u2019S TAKE A LOOK AT THE ROADWAYS THIS MORNING WITH MEAGHAN MACKEY THE ROADS NICE AND QUIET, AT LEAST ALONG I-4 THIS MORNING. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK IN DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. YOU CAN SEE A SMOOTH START HERE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. I\u2019M NOT SEEING ANY CONSTRUCTION DELAYS ALONG I-4, AND ALSO NO CRASHES. THAT\u2019S FROM OSCEOLA INTO VOLUSIA COUNTY ON BOTH SIDES OF I-4. SO EASTBOUND AND WESTBOUND THERE IS THAT CRASH, THOUGH IN APOPKA. I\u2019M STILL MONITORING SOUTH VINEYARD ROAD AT SHEAFE ROAD OFF OF THE 429. SO AVOID THAT STRETCH OF ROADWAY. THIS MORNING. A CRASH HERE HAS ALL LANES BLOCKED, ACCORDING TO FHP. IT WAS REPORTED 45 MINUTES AGO, SO I\u2019LL BE KEEPING MY EYE ON THIS. WE\u2019LL ALSO CHECK IN WITH THAT AIRPORT COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. RELIEF MAY BE ON THE WAY FOR VOLUSIA COUNTY RESIDENTS WHO\u2019VE DEALT WITH REPEATED FLOODING. COMING UP, HOW MUCH MONEY THE COUNTY APPROVED TO TRY AND FIX SOME OF THE DRAINAGE ISSUES, PLUS TRADE TALKS WITH CANADA REPORTEDLY ENDED OVER A TV AD CAMPAIGN INVOLVING FORMER PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN. AND THIS MORNING, THE ENTIRE EAST WING OF THE WHITE HOUSE IS DEMOLISHED. THE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS AS CONSTRUCTION ON A NEW BALLROOM BEGINS. BUT AS WE GO TO BREAK AT 511, LET\u2019S GIVE YOU A LIVE LOOK THIS MORNING AT EPCOT, WHERE DISNEY\u2019S WINE AND DINE FIVE K IS GETTING READY TO BEGIN. YOU SEE ALL THE RUNNERS AND WALKERS RIGHT THERE AT THE START LINE, WAITING FOR THAT HORN TO SIGNAL IT IS RACE TIME. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLE RA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
