• Driver arrested after video shows passengers riding on hood of moving vehicle, Belle Isle police say (clickorlando.com) — Belle Isle police say a driver was arrested and four passengers were cited after officers stopped a car seen on video with people riding on the hood through town around 4:30 a.m. Monday. The driver faces a reckless driving charge and multiple citations, while each passenger was ticketed for riding on the exterior of the vehicle, with one also cited for an open container. 
• Orange County enforces burn ban as drought conditions worsen (wftv.com) — If you live in Belle Isle, you’re now under an Orange County burn ban that restricts most outdoor burning because of worsening drought conditions. Campfires, bonfires, yard waste burning, and similar fires are prohibited without a permit, though outdoor grills are still allowed, and the ban will lift only after the drought index improves for a full week.
