COPS: Ethan Edge Over The Line, Twice Legal Limit Leads To Atlantic Avenue Arrest

DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A 24-year-old Boca Raton man is facing a DUI charge after police say he was clocked speeding down West Atlantic Avenue early Sunday and later blew more than twice the legal limit. Ethan Antonio Edge was arrested by Delray Beach Police at about 2:49 a.m. Nov. 8 and charged with DUI with a blood alcohol level of .15 or higher, a misdemeanor. According to the probable cause affidavit obtained by BocaNewsNow.com, a sergeant running a traffic detail in the 700 block of West Atlantic spotted a blue Toyota SUV heading east at a high rate of speed around 2:20 a.m. Laser clocked it at 46 mph in a 35 mph zone.

West Boca Raton football humbles unbeaten Raines in Open Division

BOCA RATON -- As the clock wound down on West Boca Raton High 's 28-7 playoff victory over Raines, Terriel Harmon had a message for the visitors from Jacksonville. "The internet don't get you nowhere!" Harmon said, directing his remarks at the worn-out Vikings defense. Harmon, a versatile junior, had earned the right to do a little chirping. He returned a kickoff 55 yards, caught a touchdown pass and ran for a touchdown as the Bulls (10-1) pulled away from the Vikings (10-1) on Friday, Nov. 13, in the opening game of the FHSAA's new Open Division . Each team will play three games in Pool B, so this was not an elimination game. Next week, No. 3 seed West Boca will host No. 6 Miami Central and No. 7 Raines will host No. 2 Miami Columbus. After the game, Harmon elaborated on his internet remark, saying the Vikings had been talking trash online. "Don't go on the internet before the game talking about how you're going to come down here and you're going to do this and that," he said. "You see what happens. "They never played a team like us. We're hungry, we're ready, we'll put our talent

Palm Beach County artists are putting the region's beaches, coastal culture and changing light at the center of "Sun, Sand, Surf," a free exhibition going on now in Lake Worth Beach . The exhibition, which runs through Dec. 31, brings together 32 Palm Beach County-based creative professionals, according to a recent announcement from the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County.

TRAVEL HELL: Tough Day After Ground Stop, Don’t Believe Flight Boards At FLL, PBI, MIA

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Commercial flights are allowed to fly Saturday but that doesn’t mean that they are. Massive disruptions continue nationwide following Friday night’s ground stop. And we stress: the only true information provider when it comes to the status of your flight is your airline. Flight boards at FLL, MIA, and DJT/PBI are providing misinformation Saturday morning — the boards have not been updated with current information. FLL is showing a number of flight cancellations that are inaccurate. Conversely, all airport-managed flight boards accessible online are displaying information that contradicts what the airlines are reporting. We encourage you to check your airline’s website — or your airline’s app — before heading to the airport. Most airlines are providing waivers and cancellation options if the disruption affected or delayed your plans. We also remind you that while they may provide vouchers, airlines are not responsible for food or lodging vouchers for an air traffic control issue.
