Villages/Lady Lake
Open House and Ribbon Cutting July 27th, 4 – 6 PM. Edward Jones, Jena Sullivan, 8483 SE 165th Mulberry Lane, Suite 100, The Villages, FL 32162
The Villages Elementary School of Lady Lake will re-open and welcome schoolchildren on August 10, 2021. The Lady Lake Police Dept. would like to remind all drivers to remain alert and use extra caution around school buses and school zones. The penalties for failure to stop for a school bus in Florida is a minimum of $200 and if there’s a second offense committed in 5 years, the license will be suspended for up to 1 year. Some tips for motorists to remember when driving near and around schools, school zones and school buses:
- Pay extra attention to the lowered speed limits in school zones
- Watch and obey signals from traffic control officers assisting motorists and pedestrians around school zones
- Load and unload children in designated loading/unloading areas
- Stop and yield to pedestrians crossing in a crosswalk
- NEVER pass a school bus from behind if it is stopped to load or unload children. Stop far enough back (at least 10 feet) to allow children space to safely enter and exit the bus.
- Be extra cautious around bicyclists as children tend to be unpredictable and turn without looking or signaling
- Put away the phone, don’t get distracted, and be extra vigilant
Lady Lake Police officers will be patrolling the school zones and bus stop areas in the Town of Lady Lake to enforce compliance with the rules of the road and to ensure the safety of the children.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office initiated Operation Basic Training during recent months, which was a joint investigation into a drug-trafficking organization operating throughout Central Florida. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Clermont, Leesburg, and Eustis Police Departments all worked together to investigate narcotics-related crimes committed by mid- to high-level dealers associated with the organization. The Special Investigations Bureau concluded Operation Basic Training on April 28, 2021 with the execution of two residential search warrants within the city limits of Leesburg and thirteen arrest warrants for individuals charged in connection with their involvement with dangerous drugs.
Detectives executed search warrants for one storage unit, one passenger car, and four residences. The long-term investigation resulted in the seizure of approximately $13,000 in U.S. currency and trafficking amounts of cocaine, crack cocaine, and methamphetamine. Detectives also seized several pounds of marijuana, cocaine-laced marijuana, and a small quantity of Oxycodone. The street value of the seized narcotics is estimated to be more than $50,000 dollars. Ten assorted firearms were recovered during the search warrants, four of which were reported stolen from other jurisdictions throughout Central Florida. Continue reading
