The corrections department in Miami-Dade welcomed the first Hispanic woman to head the massive agency ever. Marydell Guevara officially took over six facilities housing 5,000 inmates that have also drawn the attention of the federal government.
The U.S. Coast Guard says a small plane crashed into the waters off Florida during takeoff, but the four people onboard are safe.
Petty Officer Michael De Nyse says the plane crashed into Tampa Bay on Friday morning shortly after taking off from Alfred Whitted Airport.
Nyse says two people swam to shore while a nearby Coast Guard ship rescued the other two. He says no one was seriously hurt.
