WEST PALM BEACH — Rob Murphy loves talking about his spearfishing adventures. Since earning his scuba diving certification last year, he estimates he has made almost 400 dives.
But Murphy will never forget his last dive on Jan. 9 when while surfacing in waters northeast of the St. Lucie Inlet, Murphy was struck by a passing boat. The boat operated by Roger Nicosia, an emergency room physician at Martin Memorial Medical Center North, severed Murphy’s legs.
Murphy lost nearly half his blood. He was lucky to escape with his life, and doctors couldn’t save his legs. (more…)
Armed robbers broke into the home of a Port St. Lucie man over the weekend, marking the second time in less than two weeks that he reported thieves broke into his home to make off with cash, police said.
The man told police he was sleeping in his home in the 3200 block of Pinto Street shortly before 1:30 a.m. when four men woke him up at gunpoint.
STUART — A motorist reported being robbed at gunpoint while stopped for a traffic light at Dixie Highway and Florida Street about 8:45 p.m. Friday, said Sgt. Martin Jacobson of the Stuart Police Department on Monday.
The victim stated that he was stopped for the traffic signal when a black male tapped on his driver’s side window. The man pointed a .38 caliber black revolver at the victim and demanded his valuables. The victim surrendered his wedding band and a wallet that contained the victim’s driver’s license and Social Security card but no cash.
The suspect was further described as wearing a black skull cap, black jacket, black pants and white tennis shoes. He was 5 feet 9 inches tall, 160 pounds and had a tattoo on his left hand. The suspect fled in a dark colored Cadillac with a gold stripe on the sides. The vehicle did not have a license plate.
Anyone with information about this robbery is asked to contact Detective Derek Ortado at 220-3906 or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at (800) 273-TIPS
