ARYNA SABALENKA has spoken out for the first time since the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend Konstantin Koltsov.

Koltsov died Monday at the age of 42 in what police labeled an “apparent suicide.”

The former ice hockey star is said to have fallen from the 23rd floor of a hotel in Miami.

Local police have ruled out foul play in Koltsov’s death.

Sabalenka, 25, had been dating Koltsov since the summer of 2021, but has now revealed that they were no longer together at the time of his death.

In a statement on her Instagram Story, World No2 wrote: “Konstantin’s death is an unthinkable tragedy and even though we were no longer together, my heart is broken.

“Please respect my privacy and that of his family during this difficult time.”

Sabalenka is in Florida for the Miami Open.

The second seed still plans to play the Masters 1000 tournament and, after receiving a first-round bye, will face close friend Paula Badosa on Friday.

In preparation for the tournament, Sabalenka, dressed in black, practiced on site.

Koltsov’s ex-wife Julija Mikhailova, with whom he had three children, claims he was “most likely drunk” when he died.

She told a Belarusian outlet Zerkalo: “Most likely he was very drunk. Unfortunately, hockey players are sometimes guilty of this.

“Empty alcohol bottles were found in the room where Konstantin stayed. There was a balcony overlooking the ocean. It is likely that Konstantin did not keep a record of his actions.

“We still have the old family computer with Konstantin’s email. I knew the passwords and managed to open some emails.

“Konstantin had also booked apartments at another location.

“Purchases that have not yet been received have been paid for. He has rented a car for a long time.

“That is, he did not mean to die. Of course, anything can go to your head, but there was no sign of tragedy.”

There is no evidence that Koltsov had been drinking before his death.

Koltsov stayed at the St Regis Bal Harbor Resort in Miami.

He is survived by children Daniel, 18, Alexander, 16, and Stefan, five.

‘IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION’

Ahead of her scheduled meeting with Sabalenka, Badosa said: “It is a very difficult situation.

“I spoke to her yesterday. Same thing this morning. I know the whole situation, what’s happening.

“That’s also a bit shocking for me to experience that, because at the end of the day she is my best friend and I don’t want her to suffer. It’s a very difficult situation.”

The 26-year-old Spaniard then added: “It’s also uncomfortable to play against her.

“But I don’t really want to talk about it because I said I’m not going to talk about it.

“She is my best friend and I promised that. She is a strong woman. I think she will get the strength from somewhere. I hope it will be a battle, a good match.”

‘IT IS SO HARD’

After beating Clara Burel, Caroline Wozniacki said: “I can’t even imagine what she’s going through. I’m crying too. It’s such a terrible situation. It’s so hard.”

“I contacted her and told her I was here if she needed anything.

“I love Aryna. She is such a wonderful person. She is always so happy and out there. It’s heartbreaking to see her go through that.

‘Everyone grieves in a different way. She walked by today. I gave her her space.

“I let her know that if she ever needs anything, I’m here for her.”

Sabalenka’s father Sergey, also a former ice hockey player, died in 2019 at the age of 43.

The two-time Grand Slam champion later said: “I’m just trying to fight because my dad wanted me to be number one.

“I do it for him, so that helps me to be strong now.”

Sabalenka successfully defended her Australian Open title in January.

She also became world number 1 for the first time last September after reaching the final of the US Open.

The Minsk-born star last saw action a week ago when she was defeated by American Emma Navarro in the round of 16 of Indian Wells.

The cause of death of Aryna Sabalenka’s boyfriend has been revealed, with Miami police reporting an ‘apparent suicide’.

Konstantin Koltsov, who played hockey for the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins, was declared dead by his former club Salavat Yulaev Ufa on social messaging site Telegram on Tuesday after the coach had a three-year relationship with Australian Open champion Sabalenka, 25 .

Sabalenka is in Miami preparing for the upcoming Miami Open, where she is seeded second, and Koltsov is said to have joined her in Florida before his shock wore off.

“It is with deep sadness that we inform you that Salavat Yulaev’s coach, Konstantin Koltsov, has passed away,” the Russian club’s statement read.

‘He was a strong and cheerful person, he was loved and respected by players, colleagues and fans. Konstantin wrote himself into the history of our club forever.

‘Koltsov won the Russian Championship and the Gagarin Cup as part of Salavat Yulaev and did a great job in the team’s technical staff.

“May his memory burn brightly.”

In a statement released Tuesday, Miami-Dade police confirmed that Bal Harbor police and firefighters were dispatched to the St Regis Bal Harbor Resort early Monday morning.

“The Miami-Dade Police Department, Homicide Bureau, responded and has taken over the investigation into the apparent suicide of Mr. Konstantin Koltsov. No foul play is suspected,” the statement concluded.

Earlier on Tuesday, Belarusian media outlets reported Telegraph reported that Koltsov died of “a dislodged blood clot.”

The death of the world number two’s partner comes just five years after the player lost her father Sergey following his sudden death at the age of 43.

Like Koltsov, Sabalenka’s father had also played professional hockey, and the Belarusian athlete has often spoken about the motivation her father gave her in her tennis playing.

After winning her second Australian Open title in January, Sabalenka achieved a feat she previously discussed in an episode of Netflix’s tennis docu-series Break Point.

“We had one dream: that I would win a few Grand Slams before I was 25,” said the then 24-year-old.

“Now I’m 24 and there’s zero in my pocket.”

Sabalenka and Koltsov are believed to have been dating for three years after they were first linked in June 2021 and the world number two has regularly posted photos of them together on her Instagram account.

“I love you @koltsov2021,” she wrote in a message with hearts and other emojis.

“Happy birthday my love. You are my dearest person, my best friend and my strongest support. Peace be with you, strength, patience and health.

‘I hope we get everything we planned. I love you.’

On International Women’s Day, Koltsov shared a photo gallery of Sabalenka, dedicated to the tennis star, with the caption: “Happy holidays, my dear, I love you dearly.”

Two months ago, Koltsov personally supported Sabalenka in Melbourne and watched her lift the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup for the second year in a row.

Koltsov is said to have three sons from his previous relationship with his ex-wife Yulia, named Daniel, Alexander and Stefan.

In the wake of the tragedy, fellow WTA tour member Sloane Stephens appeared to respond to the news on Twitter, writing: “That moment when you can actually feel the pain in your chest when you hear or see something that breaks your heart (broken heart ). emoji).’

The former world number three did not refer directly to Sabalenka, but many fans on social media site X believe her post was written in light of the news in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Sabalenka lost to Emma Navarro in the last 16 at Indian Wells last week after knocking out former US Open champion Emma Raducanu, and is scheduled to play her first match at the Miami Open on Friday March 2022.

Known for his speed on the ice, Koltsov won the 2008 Russian Super League title with Salavat Yulaev and recently returned to the club as an assistant coach.

Koltsov was previously part of the technical staff of Dinamo Minsk and Spartak Moscow, and was also head coach at Brest and Dinamo Maladzyechna.

ARTHUR CAZAUX has been forced to withdraw from his match against Harold Mayot after collapsing on the pitch.

The 21-year-old Frenchman was locked in a third set against compatriot Harold Mayot when he fell to the ground while waiting for his return.

As Cazaux lay on his back, a medic ran onto the court to help him.

The referee then also got out of his chair and walked over to inspect the scene.

According to Cracked Racquets reporter Damian CoastCazaux was taken off the track in a wheelchair after his retirement.

Mayot won the first set 6-4, before Cazaux fought back to take the second 7-5.

The 22-year-old was serving at 1-2, 30-30 in the deciding set when Cazaux fainted while waiting for his return.

The temperature in Miami today reached 31 degrees Celsius, with humidity around 70 percent.

Mayot will now meet former world number 7 David Goffin for a place in the main draw.

After receiving criticism on social media for his response to Cazaux’s collapse, Mayot wrote: ‘Stop starting a false controversy for nothing.

“It was a few games ago that he wasn’t feeling well and started having cramps.

“I didn’t see him fall and I thought he was down because he had cramps. When I understood that it was serious, I immediately went to him and was very worried.

‘I did my best to help. There is nothing but a great friendship and complicity between us, and there always has been.

“You need to stop sending your hate all the time. I wish him a good recovery and all the best.’

Cazaux currently sits at career-high 74 in the ATP rankings.

Last week he reached the round of 16 of a Challenger event in Phoenix, Arizona, where he lost a close match to former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini.

Earlier this year he made a huge breakthrough by reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open.

He defeated Laslo Djere in the first round before memorably pulling off a huge upset by knocking out eighth seed Holger Rune in the second.

Cazaux backed up the result by beating 28th seed Tallon Greekpoor in round three.

He then bowed out to ninth seed Hubert Hurkacz in the last 16.

After his enormous result Down Under, Cazaux was given a hero’s welcome in his hometown of Montpellier.

He performed a ceremonial kick-off during Montpellier’s Ligue 1 match against Lille in January, before competing in the Open Sud de France the following week.

Denkt u erover om te jagen vanaf een motorboot in Kansas? Of seks voor het huwelijk hebben in Idaho?

Wees voorzichtig, zodat u niet aan de verkeerde kant van de wet terechtkomt.

Er bestaan ​​nog steeds tientallen archaïsche en bizarre oude wetten in de VS, die veel gedragingen criminaliseren met maanden gevangenisstraf, honderden dollars aan boetes en zelfs dwangarbeid.

Sommige van deze tien jaar oude wetten hebben zelfs nog interessantere verhalen: het werd illegaal om een ​​eland uit een vliegtuig te laten vallen in Alaska nadat een dierenrechtengroep een lokaal spel verkeerd had begrepen.

In andere staten zijn de wetten er niet in geslaagd om met de tijd mee te veranderen en de politie handhaaft ze eenvoudigweg niet – zoals het geval is met de wet van Alabama tegen gamen op zondag.

Hier is een lijst met 13 van de meest bizarre decennia-oude wetten die nog steeds in de boeken staan ​​in de VS.

Arizona: Het is illegaal om nepmedicijnen te bezitten.

Het maakt niet uit of je weet dat de drugs echt of nep zijn; het bezit van ‘imitatie’ drugs is dat wel onwettig in Arizona.

Concreet is het illegaal om imitatiemedicijnen te bezitten als je van plan bent deze te gebruiken.

Deze wet, en soortgelijke wetten elders, is gericht op het vervolgen van drugsmisdrijven op laag niveau, zelfs als de verdachte onbewust nepmedicijnen van een dealer heeft gekocht.

In 1907 keurde New York een wet goed die het illegaal maakt om je partner te bedriegen.

Deze wet wordt zelden gehandhaafd, maar een veroordeling kan overtreders 90 dagen gevangenisstraf en $500 aan boetes kosten.

Er is momenteel een wetsvoorstel in de maak bij de wetgevende macht van de staat New York, maar dat zou de wet afschaffen.

Alabama: Het is illegaal om op zondag te kaarten

Volgens Alabama juridische code: ‘Iedereen die… zich op die dag bezighoudt met schieten, jagen, gokken, kaartspelen of racen… krijgt een boete van niet minder dan $ 10. niet meer dan $100, en kan ook worden opgesloten in de gevangenis van de provincie, of veroordeeld tot dwangarbeid voor de provincie, voor niet meer dan drie maanden.’

Dit is een oude wet die erop gericht is religieuze regels af te dwingen rond het vieren van de zondag als rustdag. Het relatief lage boetebedrag geeft een indicatie van hoe oud de wet is.

De regel verbiedt ook auto- en motorraces op zondag, en dwingt een kind om buiten de normale huishoudelijke taken te werken.

Indiana: Het is illegaal om met je blote handen te vissen

De praktijk van het vissen met alleen de handen op grote zoetwatervissen, vaak ‘noodling’ genoemd, is een beetje vreemd, maar niet zo zeldzaam in de VS.

Maar in Indiana is dat wel zo tegen de wet.

In feite wordt het in de wet van Indiana op één hoop gegooid met dynamiet, geweren, gif en elektriciteit als ‘onwettige middelen om vis te vangen’.

Als een persoon wordt beschuldigd van het overtreden van de vis- en natuurregels in Indiana, kan de staat alle apparatuur in beslag nemen als bewijsmateriaal en deze in beslag nemen als de verdachte wordt veroordeeld.

Het is echter niet waarschijnlijk dat de staat iemands handen in beslag zal nemen.

Alaska: Het is illegaal om een ​​eland uit een vliegtuig te laten vallen

In de meeste gevallen stopten staten met de wetten op deze lijst eenvoudigweg met het handhaven van oude wetten waar ooit rationele redenen achter zaten. Deze criminaliseerde echter gedrag dat gebaseerd was op een misverstand.

De inwoners van Talkeetna, Alaska, deden dat vroeger ook een spel spelen met elandenpoep, dat was een variant op bingo.

Elandenpoep met daarop geschilderde cijfers werd uit een vliegtuig gedropt, en als iemand de juiste taart vond, won hij.

Dierenrechtengroep PETA begreep het spel niet en lobbyde bij de deelstaatregering om het illegaal te maken om een ​​eland uit een vliegtuig te duwen.

Missouri: Het is illegaal om de stier van een vreemdeling zonder voorafgaande kennisgeving te castreren

Als een stier losraakt en tekeergaat in Missouri, is het legaal voor buren of andere bezorgde burgers om op humane wijze te handelen castreer het dier om te voorkomen dat hij zich onbeperkt voortplant en in het algemeen grote schade aanricht.

Er is echter één addertje onder het gras: iedereen die de stier van een vreemdeling wil castreren, moet de plaatselijke gemeente hiervan op de hoogte stellen en drie dagen wachten. Anders opereren ze buiten de wet.

De castrerende partij moet ook voorkomen dat het dier onnodig lijden ondervindt, en moet zich houden aan goede praktijken voor het castreren van landbouwhuisdieren. Als de eigenaar het dier echter binnen drie dagen komt ophalen, moet hij de buurman die het dier heeft gevangen één dollar betalen.

Deze wet geldt ook voor zwijnen en rammen.

Florida: Het is illegaal om een ​​dwerg in een bar te gooien

Concreet stelt de wet van Florida dat het illegaal is om dwergen te gooien in een etablissement dat sterke drank verkoopt.

De wet is gericht op het voorkomen van uitbuiting van mensen met de medische aandoening dwerggroei.

Het is dwergen volgens de wet echter niet verboden om deel te nemen aan andere sportevenementen: ‘Niets in dit document mag worden geïnterpreteerd als een verbod voor dwergen om deel te nemen aan niet-uitbuitende sport- of recreatieve evenementen van het type dat wordt beoefend door personen die geen dwergen zijn.’

Minnesota: Illegaal om een ​​varken te smeren

In het Land van 10.000 Meren is het tegen de wet vet een varken in – of boerenhoenders.

In het bijzonder: ‘Niemand mag een wedstrijd, spel of andere soortgelijke activiteit exploiteren, uitvoeren of eraan deelnemen, waarbij een varken, ingevet, geolied of anderszins, wordt losgelaten en waarbij het doel de vangst van het varken is, of waarbij een kip of kalkoen wordt losgelaten of in de lucht gegooid en waarbij het doel het vangen van de kip of kalkoen is.’

Overtredingen van deze wet uit 1971 worden beschouwd als misdrijven, bestraft met een boete of mogelijk gevangenisstraf.

Kansas: Illegaal om te jagen vanaf een motorboot

In de staat Kansas, waar gewilde wilddieren leven, waaronder de Amerikaanse bizon, is dit illegaal jagen vanaf een motorboot.

Jagen vanuit een vliegtuig, auto of ander voertuig is ook illegaal.

Er zijn echter enkele uitzonderingen op deze wet: mensen die jagen met een gehandicaptenvergunning mogen een voertuig gebruiken, en het jagen op watervogels vanaf een boot die niet beweegt, wordt beide als legaal beschouwd.

De jacht op coyotes is ook vrijgesteld van de meeste jachtwetten van Kansas, omdat het dier als een bedreiging voor het vee wordt beschouwd.

Michigan: Illegaal om dronken te zijn in een trein

In de staat Michigan is dat wel het geval tegen de wet om in een trein te rijden ‘terwijl je in een aanstootgevende staat van dronkenschap verkeert’.

Als iemand de wet overtreedt, mag een treinconducteur die persoon arresteren, al dan niet met een bevelschrift.

Van iedereen die betrapt wordt op het drinken van alcohol in de trein, wordt de drank in beslag genomen en aan een stationagent gegeven, die de drinker een ontvangstbewijs overhandigt. Zij kunnen hun alcohol binnen 10 dagen ophalen bij de stationagent, anders wordt deze afgevoerd.

De straf voor het overtreden van deze wetten tegen drinken of dronken zijn in de trein: maximaal 90 dagen gevangenisstraf en $ 100 boete.

Idaho: Het is illegaal om seks te hebben voor het huwelijk

Deze wet nog steeds in de boeken van Idaho bestaat al sinds 1972, toen seks vóór het huwelijk meer werd afgekeurd dan nu het geval is.

De wet bepaalt: ‘Elke ongehuwde persoon die geslachtsgemeenschap heeft met een ongehuwde persoon van het andere geslacht, wordt schuldig bevonden aan hoererij en, bij veroordeling daarvan, gestraft met een boete van niet meer dan $ 300 of met gevangenisstraf wegens het niet meer dan zes maanden of met zowel een dergelijke boete als een gevangenisstraf.’

Naar goeddunken van een rechter kan de straf echter worden opgeschort, of kan een verdachte een proeftijd krijgen in plaats van gevangenisstraf.

Arkansas: Het is illegaal om een ​​flipperkast te bedienen die een speler meer dan 25 gratis spellen kan geven

Deze wet uit Arkansas maakt deel uit van een reeks wetten die gokken beheersen en verbiedt inwoners een flipperkast te bedienen die een speler meer dan 25 gratis spellen kan geven.

Andere wetten in dit gedeelte van de wettelijke code van Arkansas omvatten een wet die spelapparaten met muntinworp verbiedt als het inwerpen van meer munten de winkansen van een speler vergroot.

Overtreding van deze wetten kan u tot een jaar gevangenisstraf opleveren en u opzadelen met een boete van $1.000.

Nevada: Het is illegaal om klanten schoenen te passen met een röntgenapparaat

In de jaren dertig werd een machine uitgevonden die schoenpasfluoroscoop wordt genoemd.

En in 1960 werd dat het geval illegaal in Nevada om er een te gebruiken om klanten schoenen te passen.

Het had de vorm van een houten kast met zoekers aan de bovenkant en maakte gebruik van röntgenfoto’s om de voeten van een schoenenwinkelaar in beeld te brengen – in de overtuiging dat het zien van de voetbeenderen van een persoon een nauwkeurigere schoenmaat zou opleveren.

Röntgenstraling is veilig in kleine doses, maar kan bij hoge doses in verband worden gebracht met stralingsvergiftiging.

Hoewel fluoroscopen voor het passen van schoenen niet meer bestaan, en deze wet dus nu waarschijnlijk niet meer nodig is, heeft deze wel de volksgezondheid gediend.

Some restaurants may promise an extraordinary experience, but none can deliver in this way.

Two-Michelin star chef Rasmus Munk, from Alchemist in Copenhagen, has announced that he will offer guests the chance to have a meal at the edge of space.

Next year, six lucky – and extremely wealthy – tourists will get the chance to fly in a ‘space balloon’ 3.5 kilometers above sea level.

During the six-hour experience, each diner will be served dishes inspired by the role of space exploration.

But at an astronomical price of $495,000 (£388,535) per ticket, this could be a high price to pay for a restaurant with (literally) no atmosphere.

The culinary expedition takes place aboard Space Perspective’s Neptune spaceship.

Despite its name, this spacecraft is not actually a spaceship, but rather a pressurized capsule suspended beneath a huge hydrogen balloon.

Without rockets or jet engines, the flight should be so gentle that anyone can participate without any training.

The balloon is planned to take off from Florida at a fairly gentle speed of 12 miles per hour.

At the highest point, guests can look down on Earth through the largest window ever launched into space.

According to Mr Munk, dinner will be served as guests watch the sun rise over the curvature of the Earth.

Importantly, he notes that the craft will not enter microgravity during the flight, so guests and food will not experience any weightlessness.

Mr Monk said: ‘In this experience, I want to highlight food as a common thread in our human existence, and it will be truly meaningful to serve it while gazing at the curvature of the Earth.

“I am honored to be part of what I believe will be a once-in-a-lifetime, transformative experience.”

The company has kept the details of the menu vague, aside from the caveat that they can’t cook with an open flame.

Given how small the capsule is, it’s not clear if the food will actually be prepared on the vessel or if it will simply be served there.

But if it’s anything like previous menus at Alchemist, the dinner will undoubtedly feature a host of new techniques.

Previous menu items, or “impressions” as the restaurant calls them, have included carpenter ants in candy, a cod eye gel and a dessert served in a silicone cup.

In 2010, the restaurant even created a sakura blossom dish for the Japanese space agency.

While it’s obviously extremely decent, the mission to dine six people in space is also keen to promote its socially conscious reputation.

Guests will ascend to the edge of space on the world’s first ‘carbon neutral spaceship’.

All proceeds will be donated to the Space Prize Foundation, a charity committed to improving the role of women within the space industry.

Alchemist also suggests that the experience of looking down on everyone on Earth can be “a sobering reminder that our fates are intertwined.”

Roman Chiporukha, founder of SpaceVIP, which organizes the experience, said: ‘This maiden voyage is just the first chapter in SpaceVIP’s mission to harness the transformative power of space travel to elevate human consciousness and shape the course of our collective evolution to give.’

The effect of looking at Earth from space, also called the overview effect, is a psychological phenomenon reported by some astronauts upon reaching space.

Those who visit space sometimes report feeling a change in consciousness or a connection to the fragility of the Earth.

In its statement, Alchemist writes that seeing Earth from space “has the power to create a cognitive shift and inspire a greater appreciation for Earth and a deep connection with humanity as a whole.”

But whether showing people the Earth while they enjoy a half-million-dollar dinner will actually break down the barriers that divide us remains to be seen.

Currently, Space Perspectives has yet to launch its first commercial flights, but it hopes to do so before the end of the year.

If successful, the company could join a number of other companies vying to provide the first wave of space tourism.

RORY MCILROY left a commentator speechless after a “stupid” take.

McIlroy, 34, competed in the Players Championship in Florida, USA, when he was presented with a difficult opportunity.

However, McIlroy, being the golf artist that he is, managed to pull off a crazy shot in the second round to get himself out of trouble.

His shot landed on the green even jumping over a lake after hitting under trees.

The shot drew cheers from the crowd.

One of the Sky Sports commentators were also impressed by the incredible hit.

They said, “That’s stupid. No, no, that’s stupid.

“It shouldn’t be allowed.”

Dame Laura Davies also claimed in co-commentary that it was one of the best shots you will ever see.

Fans seemed to agree online, with one saying on social media: “Outrageous!!!”

A second said: “That’s one of the best golf shots I’ve seen Rory McIlroy.”

McIlroy is currently second on the PGA Tour, but nine shots behind Florida.

He is nine under par, while leader Xander Schauffele is currently -17.

A teenager pulled a gun during a fight on a busy Florida beach earlier this week, before running through a crowd with the weapon and fleeing into the ocean.

Felixander Solis-Guzman, 16, was arrested Thursday by Volusia County Sheriff’s Office deputies after the incident in New Smyrna Beach.

Shocking footage shows Solis-Guzman fighting with four individuals on the busy beach before pulling out a firearm.

Agency officers had been on the beach at the time of the incident and gave chase when Solis-Guzman dispersed the partygoers, with one shouting, “He’s got a gun!”

The officer who recorded the incident can be seen running after the teen with his gun raised, yelling at the teen, “Okay, motherfucker, drop the damn gun.”

Solis-Guzman continues to flee the scene with officers hot on his heels and begins running towards the ocean.

Five officers can be seen with guns drawn pointing at Solis-Guzman as he stands in the water at the edge of the beach.

Solis-Guzman begins to obey the officers after several minutes and drops the gun and a bag in the water before surrendering.

As officers bring him in, large crowds of spring breakers can be seen watching the events unfold.

Officers recovered the firearm and the bag from the water, which contained twenty small plastic bags of marijuana.

The teen was charged with three counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, possession of a firearm by a person under 18 years of age, improper exhibition of a firearm, committing a second-degree felony with a weapon, resisting a law enforcement officer, 2 counts of tampering with evidence and selling marijuana.

In addition to his charges, he was also arrested on seven active warrants out of Orange County, including robbery with a firearm and probation violation.

He was taken to the Volusia Family Resource Center for treatment before being transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice.

On Friday, the Florida State Attorney’s Office said they had filed adult charges against Solis-Guzman and he would be transferred to the Volusia County Jail.

State’s Attorney RJ Larizza said, “This 16-year-old brought drugs and a gun to Volusia County over spring break.

“He will now face adult charges and serious consequences for his reckless actions.” We welcome spring breakers, as long as they behave.”

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood added, “We don’t play around in Volusia County.

“Don’t let your child be the next to come here as a minor and end up facing a serious criminal as an adult.”

Groups of bikini-clad girls and jeering boys have flocked to Florida beaches as spring break began.

Some girls left little to the imagination and posed for photos in the ocean – presumably to make their friends stuck at home jealous of their tropical vacation.

Elsewhere, groups of half-dressed young people danced at daytime parties on beaches, in the backs of pickup trucks and on boats rented for the day.

As night fell on the beach, partygoers continued drinking late into the night as groups posed for photos outside bars and clubs.

During spring break last year, 488 arrests were made in Miami Beach, of which more than 230 were felonies, and more than 100 firearms were seized.

As a result, officials in Miami announced plans to implement stricter restrictions earlier this year.

City Commissioner Alex Fernandez, who urged Miami to announce this year’s spring break measures, sent an email to voters last weekend celebrating the quiet start to spring break.

In it, Fernandez wrote: ‘Don’t shoot. No stampede. No fatalities. What a difference.’ The city’s goal for weeks was to end Spring Break, which the New York Post said was a “failure.”

In a social media post whose headline used by the outlet was shared on social media, former Miami Mayor Philip Levine posted the headline with clapping hands emojis.

There was an increased police presence along the beach in Miami, with officers on bicycles, buggies and SUVs patrolling the area. Others were seen leading K-9s among sunbathers on the crowded sand.

In contrast, there was barely a patch of open sand to be found on some parts of Fort Lauderdale Beach, often called “Spring Break Central.”

Police and the mayor’s chief of staff in Fort Lauderdale said it had been a successful week with limited crime, as they looked ahead to a tougher challenge – with continued celebrations coinciding with St. Patrick’s Day.

Local police spokesperson Casey Liening told Fox News: “Our spring break crowds have been as expected so far this year, with this week being the busiest week we expect. We haven’t had any major problems or disturbances.’

Ahead of spring break, Mayor Dean Trantalis said there were designated areas where alcohol was allowed, as well as safety measures including date rape drug testing, rideshare options and Narcan.

During a press conference in early March, Trantalis said, “We want to make your spring break experience the best experience you’ve ever had.

‘Why? Because we want you to come back. We want you to come back next year. We want you to come back for years to come, and you might want to make Fort Lauderdale your home.”
