BEHIND THESE PORT CHARLOTTE WINDOWS - KENNETH BARTON ADMITS TODAY - HE LIVED A DOUBLE LIFE.
THE FORMER SERGEANT HAD RESIGNED IN 2007 FROM THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AMID A SERIES OF ALLEGATIONS HE'D MOLESTED A YOUNG GIRL AND HAD AN INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP WITH A TEENAGER.
BUT UNTIL JUNE - NO ONE KNEW WHAT HE HAD STASHED IN HIS BEDROOM CLOSET.
TODAY - HE ADMITS IT WAS TWO COMPUTERS WITH CHILD PORNOGRAPHY ON THEM.
"He's sorry to everybody involved in it. He's sorry to the folks who have supported him for so long in law enforcement and his many friends."
BARTON'S ATTORNEY TELLS US HIS CLIENT PLEADED GUILTY IN ORDER TO MOVE ON.
"he feels like he's been a disappointment to them."
GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATORS SAY THEY FOUND MORE THAN 100 SEXUALLY EXPLICIT VIDEOS -- SOME INVOLVING CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS THREE.
BUT THE PLEA DEAL IS BASED ON ONLY A HANDFUL OF VIDEOS -
"There may be truth to it. We don't know and in the discovery, it's not apparent. The issue will be twelve videos."
BARTON ADMITTED TO THE JUDGE HE KNOWINGLY DOWNLOADED COMPUTER FILES THAT CONTAINED MINORS IN SEXUAL ACTIVITIES.
HE'LL GET CREDIT FOR COOPERATING WITH THE GOVERNMENT - BUT A FEDERAL JUDGE WILL DECIDE WHAT TO MAKE OF HIS FORMER CAREER AT SENTENCING
"It's a two-edged sword because of his background. There may be an argument that he knew better and should not have been involved, or he may be given credit for 25 years in loyal service to law enforcement."
BARTON FACES A MAXIMUM TEN YEARS IN PRISON AND A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS IN FINES.
THE 62 YEAR OLD WILL BE REGISTERED AS A SEX OFFENDER.

It's the lunch rush at Bubba's Roadhouse.
And the line to turn in from Pine Island Road seems unending.
And widening the highway from 2 lanes to four should have owner Jay Johnson thrilled.
Take SOT
31:13-22
Jay Johnson
It's gonna be great for the community, we need evacuation routes out of Pine Island. Once we have a wider road we'll have more development down here.
But he is worried a planned median in the middle of the road could drive away his business.
Take Sot
Jay Johnson
32:23-30 Right here would be a median you can't make a left in or out.
Forcing cars to drive down to the intersection of Chiquita Boulevard -almost a mile away - then turn around.
He's worried they won't bother.
Take Sot

It becomes a hassle - thy'll go up and make a right to find another dozen retaurants.
We took Johnson's problem to Debbie Tower with the State Department of Transportation.
She says the median will allow left turns *INto Bubba's and the next door at the German American Social Club - but not left Turns OUT of the restaurant.

Debbie Tower
59:37-41
Placement is going to be important. And we are willing to discuss with both businesses.
But Johnson says the left turn lane still doesn't direct cars into his businss- and hopes he can meet the DOT on some middle ground.

Ideally they turn in and they're done. It's a 15 foot move of a median. But I just cook steaks.

ALMOST A DOZEN MEDICAL CALLS IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS--
IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH, BUT IT'S KEEPING COLLIER COUNTY'S MEDFLIGHT PROGRAM BUSY.
NBC-2'S SAUNDRA WEATHERS WENT TO FIND OUT WHAT'S BEHIND THE SPIKE.
Return to index of stories...
THEY'RE THE SOUNDS HEARD DURING WHAT EMERGENCY RESPONDERS CALL-- THE GOLDEN HOUR.
FROM THE TIME A PATIENT IS INJURED. THE TIME THEY'RE AT A TRAUMA CENTER, IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO SAVE THEIR LIVE.
AND IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE COLLIER COUNTY'S MED FLIGHT HELICOPTER HAS BEEN VERY BUSY SAVING LIVES.
SINCE AUGUST 21ST WE'VE HAD 10 PATIENTS THAT SAME TIME PERIOD LAST YEAR WE ONLY HAD SEVEN.
A VERY ACTIVE COUPLE OF DAYS.WITH A WORKER WHO FELL FROM A LIFT, A SEMI TRUCK DRIVER WHO CRASHED HIS TRUCK INTO A CANAL.AND A DRIVER WHO CRASHED HER CAR INTO A PILLAR ON I-75.
TWO OF THEM WITHIN HOURS OF EACH OTHER.
THE MAJORITY OF THESE WERE AUTO ACCIDENTS AND THAT MAY BE CONTRIBUTED TO MORE VISITORS AND MORE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD.
THE COUNTY'S EMS ASSISTANT CHIEF, WALTER KOPKA SAYS THE INCREASE IN CALLS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LEE COUNTY'S RECENT SUSPENSION OF THEIR FLIGHT PROGRAM, MED STAR.
AS A MATTER OF FACT SINCE THEY SUSPENDED THEIR OPERATION IN LEE COUNTY WE HAVE HAD NO RESPONSES TO LEE COUNTY.
NO RESPONSES. BUT IF THE AMBULANCE IN THE SKY IS NEEDED TO HELP LEE COUNTY THEY'RE PREPARED TO.
IN THE EVENT THE EMERGENCY HELICOPTER IS TOO BUSY THEY HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE. THEY'LL EITHER CALL ON ANOTHER AGENCY OR THEY'LL BRING THEM TO PLACES LIKE NCH-WHERE THEY'LL BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL.
IT'S SOMETHING KOPKA SAYS COLLIER COUNTY RESIDENTS SHOULD FEEL SAFE KNOWING.
OUR PRIORITY IS TO THE COLLIER COUNTY RESIDENTS AND VISITORS UPMOST AND WITHOUT QUESTION.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS
Seems like we've had plenty of days this summer to talk about the influence of southwest winds on our side of Florida. The normal summer pattern starts with an easterly wind during the morning and the onshore winds in the afternoon. When we get southwest winds setting up for the full day that usually means showers in the morning, midday, and afternoon. For the next two days that will be the forecast….a chance for "on and off" showers at any daypart. High temperatures will continue to hit 90 degrees and overnight lows will be in the mid and upper 70's.
In the Atlantic we are still tracking Hurricane Leslie and Tropical Storm Michael. Neither storm is a threat to Florida.
In the Gulf of Mexico we have an interesting weather feature developing. The remnant low pressure area which was once Hurricane Isaac is moving back into the Gulf. Over the next few days we will have to watch this closely. If the system moves closer to Florida this weekend we could see a noticeable increase in rain by Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Early heads up …. There could certainly be more rain to track this weekend.

NATS OF CRIST GREETING
:01:05:23 "How ya going brother? Everything well?"
NATS:
:01:03:49 "Awesome!"
THIS IS WHY IT TAKES FLORIDA'S FORMER REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR NEARLY 30-MINUTES TO WALK THROUGH HIS HOTEL LOBBY. AT EASE - ON THE EVE OF A SPEECH THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNTHINKABLE 4-YEARS AGO. CRIST ENDORSING A DEMOCRAT FOR PRESIDENT.
Oliver: "Why take the stage tomorrow night?"
Crist: "Well I'm concerned about the future of our state and our country. and I believe in the President and I just want to express it."
HE SAYS THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN ASKED HIM TO SPEAK. DEMOCRATS WELCOME HIS APPEARANCE.
CONSIDER WHAT GOT HIM HERE. CRIST WAS FLORIDA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL. THEN GOVERNOR. TWO YEARS INTO HIS TERM. CRIST ANNOUNCED A RUN FOR THE SENATE. WITHIN A YEAR, HE LEFT THE G-O-P OPTING TO NOT RUN UNDER A PARTY. HE LOST THAT RACE TO MARCO RUBIO AND KENDRICK MEEK. THEN LAST MONTH - THREW HIS SUPPORT BEHIND BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT.
NOW THIS TURN.
