What a great evening at the Amazing Shake competition hosted by Navy Federal!

I was honored to be invited back as a guest judge representing EscaRosa Press/Fatima Hawkins. Fifteen impressive students from Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties participated in challenges designed to test networking, conversation skills, listening, and eye contact.

Congratulations to Karter Lantry from Avalon Middle School, who was named the Amazing Shake winner for our area. He stood out by confidently introducing himself and demonstrating exceptional communication skills throughout the competition.

Also recognized among the top regional winners were:

• Karter Lantry — Avalon Middle School (1st place)

🚨 PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT: “Senior Assassin” Game 🚨

The Senior Assassin trend may seem like harmless fun, but it is creating serious safety concerns for law enforcement agencies.

The game includes incidents such as:
🔹 Individuals wearing masks and hiding around homes and neighborhoods
🔹 People chasing others with realistic-looking water guns
🔹 Suspicious activity reports, especially late at night or early morning

From a distance, these situations can look like real criminal activity. Responding deputies do not know it’s a game — they must treat every call as a potential armed threat.

⚠️ Why this is dangerous:
• Realistic toy guns can be mistaken for actual fi****ms
• Players hiding or running can trigger emergency responses
• You may be stopped at gunpoint for everyone’s safety
• Entering private property could lead to trespassing charges
• In worst-case scenarios, this could have deadly consequences

Our message to students and parents:
This is not just a game when it impacts public safety. We urge families to have conversations about the risks and to make responsible choices.

🚨 PUBLIC NOTICE 🚨

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office is asking that you leave TikTok trends out of our county — specifically the so-called “Door Kicking Challenge.”

We have received multiple calls for service involving juveniles kicking doors of occupied homes and then running away. What may seem like a prank online is being reported as attempted break-ins by homeowners.

⚠️ Here’s the reality:
When you kick someone’s door, the homeowner has no way of knowing your intent. They may believe they are about to become a victim of a crime.
🏠 Florida’s Castle Doctrine (F.S. 776.013) allows residents to use force — including deadly force — if they reasonably believe someone is attempting to unlawfully enter their home.

This means:
• What you think is a joke could be seen as a real threat
• Homeowners are legally protected in defending themselves
• You are putting yourself and others in serious danger

Parents — please talk with your kids.
Know what they’re participating in and help them understand that online trends can have real-world consequences.

🚫 To those participating:
This is not a harmless game. It can lead to criminal charges, injury, or worse.

Let’s keep Santa Rosa County safe — and keep bad trends out.
