Police chief says Miami partying โcouldnโt go on any longerโ
After days of partying, including several confrontations with police, Miami Beach officials enacted a highly unorthodox curfew Saturday from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m., forcing restaurants to stop outdoor seating entirely during the three-day emergency period, and encouraging local businesses to voluntarily shut down. A military style vehicle was seen rolling down the palm-tree lined Ocean Drive as outnumbered Miami Beach police officers struggled to disperse the raucous crowds Saturday. โWe couldnโt go on any longer,โ Clements said during Sunday's meeting, defending the cityโs curfew.

Stone Oak standoff ends in 3 arrests
SAN ANTONIO โ A standoff on the city's far North side ends Tuesday morning with the arrests of three men, San Antonio police said. A SWAT team was called to the 300 block of Joshua Way in Stone Oak around 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, where police say three men broke into a home and assaulted a woman. The man who owns that home was arrested back in February after an investigation by a task force that included the IRS, the DEA and San Antonio police. Police say his son and two other men broke into the home this morning because they believed Pena's girlfriend -- who still lives there -- gave information that led to his arrest. But even with the arrest of the three suspects from Tuesday morning's break-in and standoff, neighbors are concerned about what could happen next.
