PORT CANAVERAL — Martha Jackson was watching a wedding video with her nephew when she heard the splash.
Soon after, the Nashville, Tenn., woman heard a man yelling.
“You could hear him hollering for help,” said Jackson, who was on the last night of a four-night cruise to the Bahamas.
Authorities have not released the name of the 34-year-old Philadelphia man who jumped from his sixth-deck suite aboard the Carnival Sensation late Wednesday. The man, who was on the cruise celebrating his wedding anniversary, was rescued 1 1/2 hours later by the Disney cruise ship Wonder off the coast of southern St. Lucie County. (more…)

STUART — A recently married couple reported roughly $5,000 in cash gifts stolen from their vehicle over the weekend.
The Port St. Lucie couple told Martin County Sheriff’s deputies that they were outside the Knights of Columbus facility on Gaines Avenue late Saturday night, loading up wedding gifts and cards into a Ford pickup.
At some point someone stole a bag containing more than 100 cards that was left on the front seat. The couple said the truck’s door was left open as they loaded the vehicle and at times left it unattended.
The cards were estimated to be worth about $5,000, according to a sheriff’s report.
