Boca Raton

Battery charges declined; evidence insufficient

The State Attorney's Office refused to charge Vince McMahon with battery on Friday, citing insufficient evidence stemming from a woman's claim that he harassed and groped her at a Boca Raton tanning salon Jan. 28.

An employee of Tanazabar Tanning Salon, 499 N. Federal Highway, filed a police report stating that McMahon, 60, chief executive of World Wrestling Entertainment, came to the shop and showed her some nude photos of himself from his camera cell phone before a tanning session.

The report said McMahon tanned for about 20 minutes, then, despite her rejection, followed her into a room, groped her and tried to kiss her.

Soccer match to raise funds for ailing boy, 4

A match between British soccer players on Saturday will help raise money for the treatment of a Boca Raton boy, 4, who has an inoperable brain tumor, said Theresa Bonnie, the boy's aunt.

The game at Patch Reef Park, which is west of Military Trail on Yamato Road in Boca Raton, will be held at 3:30 p.m.

Players will pay $20 to participate. Spectators will be asked to make a $5 donation, Bonnie said.

Proceeds from the match go to a cancer treatment fund for Colby Steigerwald, which pays for his cancer treatment.

Checks can be made out to Colby Keep On Truckin and mailed to Colby Keep on Truckin c/o Joe Bonnie & Son Moving & Storage, 235 N. Congress Ave., Delray Beach, FL 33445.

For information, call Theresa Bonnie at 561-716-9508 or 561-362-8877.

Palm Beach County

Gunman in ambush receives two life terms

A Palm Beach County judge sentenced a convicted gunman Friday to consecutive life terms in the November 2003 shooting of two friends west of Boynton Beach.

Jonathan Morales, 24, faced a mandatory life sentence in the ambush-style killings of Adrian Waldron, 20, and Louis Tedesco, 18, as they sat in Waldron's Ford Explorer on Tucks Road.

Morales and his friend, Israel Fonseca, gunned down the two after a drug dealer became angered because Waldron and Tedesco could identify his home after Fonseca brought them there, prosecutor Angela Miller told jurors in her closing argument.

Fonseca, 25, was given consecutive life sentences last week.

West Palm Beach

Hard crash into tree kills teenage motorist

A teenager was killed late Thursday night in a one-car crash, West Palm Beach police said.

Keith Vincent Vidal, 18, of Boynton Beach, was driving a 1999 Cadillac Deville northbound in the 3300 block of Australian Avenue when he hit a tree about 10:23 p.m.

Vidal's Cadillac hit the tree so hard that it spun and was wrapped around the tree.

Vidal, who was found in the back seat, died at the scene.

Lake Worth

Part of Dixie Highway to close for PrideFest

Lake Avenue will be closed Sunday morning from Dixie Highway to the Lake Worth bridge for the PrideFest parade.

The road closure will start at 9:30 a.m. and will last for up to three hours, police said.

Drivers who normally use Lake Avenue can take Second Avenue North as an alternate.

Only eastbound traffic will be affected on the Lake Worth bridge. Drivers should use the Ocean Avenue bridge in Lantana or the Southern Boulevard bridge in West Palm Beach as alternates.
