Two young spring breakers turned themselves in to police Friday after a viral video showed them throwing trash cans full of trash into the ocean while boating off the Florida coast last weekend.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced that a 16-year-old and a 15-year-old boy were recently hit with third-degree pollution during a boat trip for polluting the waters off Boca Raton, Florida.
“The two juveniles turned themselves in to authorities and faced consequences for violating laws related to pollution of the waters of the state of Florida,” the FWC said in a statement, according to WPBF.
The sickening video, shared by YouTuber Wavy Boats, captured the moment a boat filled with several teenagers left Boca Bash’s wild party scene and made the short trip out to sea to the quick dump.
<figure class="nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>The two teenagers turned themselves in to police on Friday because they threw trash into the sea last week. Wavy Boats / YouTube</figcaption></figure>
Drone footage showed the 16-year-old boater allegedly holding on to the boat’s canopy while bouncing awkwardly in the air as the boat exited Lake Boca from the bay and entered the open water.
<aside class="single__inline-module aligncenter">
</aside>
The boat was then met with heavy waves when two full trash cans were thrown overboard by the boat’s “captain,” the 16-year-old, and his shirtless colleague.
After the cans were emptied, one of the Knuckleheads briefly raised the cans above their heads to celebrate as the boat was rocked by the waves.
State wildlife officials condemned the teen’s behavior, calling her actions a “serious crime.”
“Illegal dumping of trash in our marine environment is a serious crime, and we have worked closely with the Palm Beach County District Attorney’s Office to determine appropriate charges. Callous disregard for Florida’s environment will not be tolerated. This is a teachable moment for everyone involved – Florida’s natural resources are precious and we should all do our part to protect them,” FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto said in a statement.
<figure class="nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>The teenagers were arrested for third-degree environmental pollution after last Sunday’s incident. Wavy Boats / YouTube</figcaption></figure>
Law enforcement officials identified the boat’s owner and visited him at home, who confirmed to police that his 15-year-old son, seen in the video, was piloting the boat, according to People.
“We take the responsibility to protect our oceans and our community very seriously and are extremely saddened by the events this past weekend in Boca Bash,” the family said in a statement, according to WPLG. “We would like to sincerely apologize to everyone who was affected and rightly upset by the incident.
“Our family and attorney have been in contact with FWC since they first contacted us and have continued to cooperate with all authorities.

<figure class="nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>Law enforcement officials identified the boat’s owner and visited him at home, who confirmed to police that his 15-year-old son, Ruth, was seen manning the boat in the video Wavy Boats / YouTube</figcaption></figure>
“As a family, we agree with FWC Commissioner Rodney Barreto that this is a teachable moment for the young children involved and that they should definitely get involved in community service and marine conservation efforts to deepen their understanding of the importance of our community and environment.”
The teens faced a fine of up to $50,000 and five years in prison.

According to police, three New York City synagogues and the Brooklyn Museum received false bomb threats on Saturday.
The Upper West Side’s Rodeph Sholom community, located at 7 W. 83rd Street near Central Park, was evacuated after police received a report of a bomb threat around 3:15 p.m
<figure class="nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>The Congregation Rodeph Sholom synagogue in Manhattan was evacuated due to a bomb threat on May 4, 2024. William Miller</figcaption></figure>
Police confirmed that the threat was unfounded.
Another threat — which also turned out to be false — was reported at the progressive, LGBTQ-friendly Congregation Beit Simchat Torah at 130 W. 30th Street.
<aside class="single__inline-module aligncenter">
</aside>
There was no one in the synagogue at the time and the threat also turned out to be false, police said.
Then, at 5:15 p.m., the Brooklyn Heights Synagogue on Remsen Street also received a bomb threat.
Three employees were evacuated and no explosives were found, police said.
<figure class="nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>The threats against Congregation Rodeph Sholom and Chabad of Midtown remain under investigation. William Miller</figcaption></figure>
Another bomb threat was reported 15 minutes later at the Brooklyn Museum, an art museum in Prospect Park, Brooklyn.
According to police, the threat once again turned out to be false.
It is unclear at this time whether there is a connection between the threats and is still under investigation, police said. 
Earlier police reports that Chabad of Midtown had also received a threat were later found to be unfounded.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement that her office was aware of the threats and was “actively monitoring” the situation along with law enforcement.
“Threats have been found not to be credible, but we will not tolerate individuals sowing fear and anti-Semitism,” she said. “Those responsible must be held accountable for their despicable actions.”
Mark Treyger, CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council [JCRC] of New York, told the Post that the bomb threats were a “dangerous escalation” of anti-Semitism at a particularly sensitive and tense time for the city’s Jewish population.

“This is not peaceful, this is not lawful and this is not normal and this is happening on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day,” said Treyger, the grandson of the Holocaust survivors. “This is a dangerous escalation of what we have already seen in the rest of the country.”
There is “no room for hate in New York City and those responsible must be held accountable.” Full closure,” he said.
The Big Apple’s Jewish community has been in turmoil since October 7, when Israel was attacked by Hamas terrorists, prompting the country to respond with a sustained military offensive in Gaza. 
<figure class="nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>A sign at the entrance to the Congregation Rodeph Sholom synagogue. William Miller</figcaption></figure>
Israel’s retaliation has sparked near-constant protests across the city and country, some of which have turned violent.
NYPD data shows anti-Semitic hate crimes are occurring increased by 45% in 2024.
“This is not isolated from the larger, hostile atmosphere that currently exists against Jewish people,” Treyger said of Saturday’s bomb threats.
While he thanked the governor, mayor and NYPD for being in constant contact with faith leaders, he said the level of security they endured to safely practice their faith was “not normal.”
“We cannot normalize this in New York City in 2024 … we will never accept this as normal in New York, in the United States of America,” Treyger said.

The American surfers and Australian brothers found dead during a surfing vacation in Mexico were likely killed when they refused to hand over their car to a trio of car thieves, according to a report.
The bodies of Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, and brothers Callum, 33, and Jake Robinson, 30, were discovered next to their burned white pickup truck nearly a week after they disappeared from Baja California province.
Authorities suspected the idyllic trip turned tragic when local bandits approached the men while they were at their beach camp at a popular surfing spot called La Bocana.
“As they attempted to access the vehicle, the victims opposed the robbery. The robbers were armed with a firearm and apparently shot the victims,” Baja California chief prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez told 7News in Australia.

Disturbingly, the killers didn’t even take the car they likely murdered the trio for, but instead set it on fire in the camp.
<aside class="single__inline-module aligncenter">
</aside>
Police have not confirmed how the men died, but noted that bullet casings were found at the campsite.
Three male bodies were found at the bottom of a well on a nearby ranch and the recovery took several hours for firefighters to recover.
Mexican officials have not officially confirmed that the three bodies are those of Georgia resident Rhoad and the Robinson brothers, but said there is a “high probability” that they were executed.

However, multiple sources confirmed her identity to Reuters this week.
The fourth body was identified as the property owner who was reported missing two weeks ago, officials said.
Police later arrested Jesús Gerardo Garcia Cota, alias El Kekas, his partner Ari Gisel García Cota, and Jesus’ brother Cristian Alejandro Garcia in connection with the men’s disappearances, but were not charged with murder.

All had methamphetamine and other illegal narcotics on them at the time of their arrest, while 23-year-old Ari Gisel Garcia Cota was carrying one of the surfer’s phones when she was arrested, according to local reports.
The Robinsons and Rhoad were last seen on April 27 enjoying the tropical climate on the coast. However, they were not officially reported missing for several days when they failed to show up at an Airbnb they had rented further south.

In the hours before her disappearance, Callum shared a series of social media posts about what appeared to be an exciting holiday on the Pacific coast.
The men were seen donning wetsuits, drinking beer and enjoying local food on Rosarito Beach, where they surfed and camped before heading another 50 miles south to the port city of Ensenada.
A snapshot shows the white pickup truck, which sources believe is the same one that was found burned in the abandoned camp.

Stevenson University in Baltimore issued a statement of condolence following the death of Callum Robinson, who graduated in 2015 and was a star lacrosse player at the school and then played for the Premier Lacrosse League.
Baja California is one of Mexico’s most violent states, although tourist areas like Ensenada are considered safer.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
A Bronx-based funeral home chain accused of exploiting customers for years did such a poor job that it once presented a dead man’s body for viewing “sitting in a plastic bag,” the city’s consumer protection agency said. 
At least 48 customers have complained about RG Ortiz Funeral Home in the past five years, including one who said his loved one smelled like decay and another who said his grandson’s eye “wouldn’t stay closed, himself.” “Constantly opened and moved during the inspection,” according to the Ministry of Consumer and Employee Protection.
RG Ortiz violated city code and owes its customers an unspecified amount in compensation, the DCWP alleged in documents filed against the company with the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH).
The chain is also accused of refusing to tell families where their loved ones’ remains were; improper handling of bodies; Misrepresent or hide prices and fail to provide paid materials and services, 
The company has eight different funeral homes throughout the five boroughs, serving primarily Spanish-speaking communities.
Returning remains to families often took much longer than RG Ortiz stated, the city said.
<aside class="single__inline-module aligncenter">
</aside>
A woman was told she would receive the cremated remains of her five-month-old baby within two to three weeks, but it ended up taking two to three months, according to the OATH petition. 
Another customer was told he would receive his father’s ashes within three weeks, but reportedly had to wait nine months to receive them.
A grieving family claimed the Bronx funeral home lost their sister’s remains and sued the chain in 2018.
The Post previously reported that the funeral home botched four funeral services in a matter of hours and even presented a casket with the wrong person inside.

“The person pointed the gun at the officers, after which the police fired their firearms and struck the person. Life-saving measures were taken, but the person died at the scene.”
No one else was injured. The Mount Horeb police officers involved have been placed on administrative leave per department policy.

The public prosecutor’s office’s criminal investigation department is investigating the shooting.
Police rushed to the middle school around 11:15 a.m. after a 911 caller saw a suspicious person walking toward the building with a long gun, prosecutors said.
Authorities did not release the shooter’s name, only identifying him as a juvenile male.

The suspected shooter never made it to the school, but the horrific incident caused young students to flee for their lives – including some who escaped on rollerblades.
Frightened parents said their children were hiding in closets, afraid to pull out their phones to call or text. 
A middle school student, 12-year-old Max Kelly, said his class was in the school gym practicing rollerblading when they heard gunshots.
When his teacher told the class to leave school, they ran to the street, dropped their skates and ran to a supermarket and gas station, where they hid in a toilet.
Mount Horeb, about 25 miles west of the state capital Madison, is home to about 7,600 people and the headquarters of outerwear retailer Duluth Trading Company.

All of the city’s Department of Corrections’ 3,000 body-worn cameras were ripped out Saturday, a day after an officer at the Rikers Island Correctional Facility was injured when their camera ignited, The Post has learned.
The captain’s body camera caught fire Friday, prompting unions to call for a comprehensive safety review, officials said.
“They’re going to withdraw them,” said Patrick Ferraiuolo, president of the Correction Captains’ Association. “They will not be returned to staff until we are sure they are OK.”

Earlier reports suggested the officer suffered burns from the camera fire, but officials later said she suffered smoke inhalation, he said. 
“She went to the hospital but was not admitted,” he said. “She’s fine, she’s a little traumatized.”

It’s not clear what caused the cameras to ignite, but some of them have lithium batteries, Ferraiuolo noted.
The DOC’s more than 3,000 body-worn cameras assigned to all uniformed employees are similar to those used by the NYPD but are not the same brand, officials said. 
Corrections Officers’ Benevolent Association President Benny Boscio sent a statement to his members telling them that the city and the DOC commissioner agreed to take down the cameras at his request.

In 2018, the New York Police Department removed about 3,000 body cameras from its officers after one of the devices worn by a Staten Island police officer burst into flames. 
The department was in the early stages of equipping its 23,000 officers with the cameras. Now everyone has them.
The NYPD removed another 2,000 police body cameras in 2021 after one of the devices exploded and caught fire in Manhattan.
The officers both suffered minor injuries.

A fourth body was discovered in a 50-foot-deep well in Baja California, Mexico, where an American and two Australian surfers were found dead, authorities announced. 
Meanwhile, one of the three suspects taken into custody by Mexican authorities was said to have been carrying a tourist’s phone when she was arrested – and all three were said to have drugs on them. 
Mexican officials have not officially confirmed that the three bodies found in a well last week were Georgia resident Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, and Australian brothers Callum, 33, and Jake Robinson, 30 .
However, two news outlets, Border Report and FOX 5 San Diego, citing a source in the Baja California attorney general’s office, say the bodies are those of the three missing surfers.

They were believed to be camping at a popular surfing spot called La Bocana in the beautiful Mexican countryside – about 50 miles south of San Diego – when they were reported missing last Saturday.

Police later arrested Jesús Gerardo Garcia Cota, alias El Kekas, his partner Ari Gisel García Cota and Jesus’ brother Cristian Alejandro Garcia.
According to local news blogs Talk Baja and Zeta Tijuana, all were carrying methamphetamine and other illegal narcotics at the time of their arrest.
Ari Gisel Garcia Cota, 23, was allegedly caught with one of the surfer’s phones and the drugs.
The fourth body was that of a ranch owner who was reported missing two weeks ago, officials said. He owned the property where the bodies were found, the attorney general said.

The trio was on a surfing vacation in the port city of Ensenada, just 80 miles south of San Diego, a trip they documented on social media until last Saturday, when the posts mysteriously stopped and they didn’t arrive at an Airbnb.
Stevenson University in Baltimore issued a statement of condolence following the death of Callum Robinson, who graduated in 2015 and was a star lacrosse player at the school and then played for the Premier Lacrosse League.

An Israel-hating public school teacher called a Queens police officer a… <a href="https://twitter.com/taibaah321/status/1785421978326720761?s=42&t=Y1K28LM5pa9ArY5EMIavgw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">“old genocidal white man”</a> This prompted the city council to demand that she be removed from the classroom because of her “despicable racist and ageist” slurs on social media.
Taiba Ahmad, a teacher at PS 153 in Maspeth, allegedly made some of her “derogatory” posts in recent months “while on the job” during regular school hours, City Councilman Robert Holden alleged in a letter to the New York City schools chancellor, David Banks.
Ahmad should not “mold young minds,” the moderate Democrat wrote, calling on Banks to “take swift and appropriate action.”

“The presence of an educator who openly expresses hatred and discrimination poses a threat to the fabric of our community and sets a dangerous example for our youth,” Holden wrote Wednesday.
Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel, Ahmad has been quick to make verbal attacks on politicians on both sides of the political spectrum who have defended the Jewish state.
In addition to Holden, other Democrats Ahmad is targeting include President Biden and Gov. Hochul.

Ahmad did not respond to messages.

One of the most violent leaders of the Columbia University riots is reportedly a professional agitator and limousine liberal – the scion of millionaire advertising executives who lives in a $3.4 million brownstone in Brooklyn, has a model baby mama and a stepmother with John Cougar Mellencamp is together. 
James Carlson, aka Cody Carlson, aka Cody Tarlow, is “a long-time anarchist,” a senior police source said.
He bought his 2,893-square-foot, three-story brownstone with four wood-burning fireplaces and a carriage house in Park Slope for $2.3 million in 2019, according to real estate records and online listings.

<figure class="nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><figcaption>James Carlson leaves Manhattan Criminal Court after his arraignment. William Farrington</figcaption></figure>
The provocateur, whose arrests date back to 2005, is one of three children of prominent advertising executive Richard “Dick” Tarlow and his wife Sandy Carlson Tarlow.
Dick Tarlow died in 2022 at age 81 with an estate worth at least $20 million, court records show. 
The Shelter Island resident was known for his work with Revlon, Ralph Lauren, Cuisinart and Pottery Barn. 
He was a loyal supporter of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and helped fund the school’s John Jay Justice Awards. 
<aside class="single__inline-module aligncenter">
</aside>
Sandy Carlson Tarlow, who died in 2003 at age 59, was known for shaping the “public face of Ralph Lauren,” according to her obituary. 
When she and her husband sold their eponymous firm, Carlson & Partners, to DDB for an undisclosed amount in 2001, the company had more than 100 employees and revenue of $165 million. 
Dick Tarlow and his second wife – Carlson’s stepmother Kristin Kehrberg – lived together in a $15 million mansion on Fifth Avenue. 
The widow is now dating John Cougar Mellencamp, Page Six reported last summer.

Carlson, 40, appears to have two children, including one with model, blonde bombshell Kim Heyrman.
The four-bedroom, four-bathroom townhouse that Carlson owns is currently being renovated, workers told The Post on Friday. The property has a large garden with a terrace and skylights. 
Estranged relatives of Carlson refused to talk about him.
“We don’t talk to him. Leave us alone. He has been out of our lives for so many years,” said a woman who answered the phone at his sister’s house on Friday.

According to sources, Carlson is a rabble-rouser and a lawyer by profession. 
He is considered a “possible leader” of the anti-Israel protesters who broke into and barricaded themselves inside Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall on Tuesday night, a City Hall source said.
Emergency services officers entered with a military-style truck early Wednesday morning and arrested the rioters, including Carlson. 
He was charged with burglary, reckless endangerment, criminal coercion, conspiracy and trespassing.
“I observed the defendant along with several other individuals within the location,” a police officer wrote in the arrest report. “I observed doors with broken windows, doors off their hinges, broken desks and exits blocked by stacked chairs.”
According to police, while in custody, Carlson destroyed a camera in a cell at One Police Plaza around 1 a.m.

He was charged with felonious assault for this incident. 
After his arrest Wednesday in Columbia, cops additionally charged Carlson with hate crimes, assault and petit larceny for allegedly lighting an Israeli supporter’s flag on fire and hitting the 22-year-old in the face with a rock during a protest in April, cops said with.
A source said Carlson was among anti-Israel protesters in January who wreaked havoc on the city by blocking traffic at the Holland Tunnel and the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges.
His criminal record dates back to at least 2005, when he was charged in San Francisco with participating in the violent “anti-capitalist mobilization and march against the G8 on the West Coast,” in which protesters crushed the skull of a police officer, nearly killing him, and one An attempt was made to set fire to a police cruiser, according to a city hall source and news reports.
<figure class="nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>Mugshot of James Carlson after arrest at Columbia University.</figcaption></figure>
Carlson was charged at the time on suspicion of attempted lynching, malicious mischief, assault on a police officer, aggravated assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon and willfully resisting a police officer resulting in serious bodily injury, the source said. 
The charges were dropped in 2007, CNN reported.
Carlson has no known ties to Columbia University. According to Columbia and Mayor Adams, about 30% of those arrested in the Hamilton Hall takeover were outside agitators.
Carlson could not be reached for comment.

Ol’ Blue Eyes shed a few tears when it came to his wives.
Frank Sinatra fled his Manhattan brownstone home, now on the market for $4.45 million, on the nights he argued with his then-wife Mia Farrow. 
“The Godfather” actor Gianni Russo, who lives five doors down at 249 E. 61st Street, where the crooner and the famous actress lived together, said Sinatra would definitely ring his doorbell.
<figure class="nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>The actor Gianni Russo, who played Carlo Rizzi in “The Godfather,” lived a few doors down from the pop singer. Courtesy of Gianni Russo</figcaption></figure>
“Whenever they argued, he would come over for a drink and spend the night at my place,” Russo, 80, told The Post. 
“He cried and said, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing.’ This guy was a crybaby, not the image we know of him. He assumed the fetal position on my couch and fell asleep.”
<aside class="single__inline-module aligncenter">
</aside>
Russo, who played Carlo Rizzi in “The Godfather,” was 14 years old and working as an errand boy for Mafia boss Frank Costello when he first met Sinatra at Copacabana, and they remained friends until his death in 1998.
Russo said he went through “so many romances” with Sinatra and never understood his friend’s attraction to Farrow.
“I don’t even know why he married her. She is like a boy, she has no body, she has nothing,” he said. 
<figure class="nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>Mia Farrow said her son Ronan belongs to her ex-husband Woody Allen, although his resemblance to Sinatra is uncanny. WireImage</figcaption></figure>
The “Rosemary’s Baby” actress was married to Ol’ Blue Eyes from 1966 to 1968, but remained his lover after that – even when she was in a relationship with director Woody Allen. 
Hollywood long speculated that Ronan Farrow, born in 1987, was actually Sinatra’s child. 
<aside class="single__inline-module alignright">
</aside>
In a 2013 interview with Vanity Fair, Mia Farrow was asked directly about Sinatra’s possible parentage and she replied coyly, “Possibly.”
Russo, who named Sinatra godfather to his son Luciano, said Ronan’s uncanny resemblance to the “My Way” singer was undeniable. 
“That must be his son. Nobody has eyes like that,” he said.
Russo, who is from Little Italy, and Sinatra, who is from Hoboken, New Jersey, shared the same birthday but were 28 years apart. 
That didn’t stop them from going to nightclubs together, even though Sinatra was married.
“When he was with me, he cheated on me,” he remembers.
“He went out with Judy Garland. She had an apartment on 72nd Street and he was dating her. He went out with Marilyn Monroe.”
Sinatra, who was married four times, couldn’t be single “because he was so insecure,” according to Russo.

The friends were drinking buddies, but when Sinatra – who drank Jack Daniels by the bottle – indulged, a darker side emerged. 
“The guy was bipolar. When he started drinking he thought he was six feet tall,” he said. 
He could also be depressed.
Russo claims that Sinatra tried to kill himself when he found out that his then-wife Ava Gardner, to whom he was married from 1951 to 1957, was cheating on him and left him – and went to the apartment of William Morris talent agent James Woods in on East 72nd Street Do it.
“Thank God his neighbor was home because there was a smell of gas coming from Woods’ apartment,” he said.

“When they came in, Sinatra was halfway in the oven and the gas was running.”
Martin Scorsese is in talks to direct a Sinatra biopic about the “violent, sexually charged and hard-drinking Frank.” 
Russo doesn’t think Leonardo DiCaprio is a good choice for the title role.
“You have to have a bit of guts. . . and he doesn’t.”
