NEWS AT 6PM OPEN-CLIP

TOSS TO MEAGHAN-VTPS-2-SHT-TURN

LEE COUNTY COMMISSIONER, BRIAN BIGELOW OUTSIDE HIS HOME, ONE DAY AFTER DEPUTIES DISCOVER DRUGS IN HIS CAR.

GOOD EVENING, I'M KELLIE BURNS.

AND I'M PETER BUSCH.

A TEENAGER DRIVING BIGELOW'S RENTAL CAR GOT PULLED OVER WITH BIGELOW IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT.

TODAY, WE GOT REACTION FROM BIGELOW AND A WITNESS WHO WATCHED THE TRAFFIC STOP.

NBC2'S MEAGHAN SMITH IS CONNECTING THE DOTS ON THIS DEVELOPING STORY.

BIGELOW INCIDENT FOLO-PLASMA

THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED - WHY WAS BRIAN BIGELOW NOT ARRESTED IF DRUGS WERE FOUND INSIDE HIS CAR?

BIGELOW INCIDENT FOLO-BNR-PKG

WE CAUGHT UP WITH BRIAN BIGELOW OUTSIDE HIS FORT MYERS HOME-

Nat

AFTER HE SPED AWAY FROM US YESTERDAY.

Nat bigelow 02:01 "I'm going to follow the advice of my lawyer and consult with him until then I guess I'm just not going to make a comment."

PARKED IN HIS DRIVEWAY-

THE CAR WHERE LEE COUNTY DEPUTIES SAY THEY FOUND MARIJUANA AFTER THE COMMISSIONER REPORTEDLY WENT TO A KNOWN DRUG HOUSE IN TICE WITH AN 18 YEAR-OLD.

BIGELOW, THOUGH- WASN'T ARRESTED.

17:55 " was he given preferential treatment because of who he is?" " No, he was treated like anyone else would be under those types of circumstances."

IT WAS JUST AFTER 1PM YESTERDAY.

LEE COUNTY DETECTIVES SAY THEY WERE WATCHING A DRUG HOUSE ON IONE AVENUE,

WHEN THEY SPOTTED BIGELOW'S CAR PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY, AND A POSSIBLE DEAL GO DOWN.

THEN, DEPUTIES STOPPED THE CAR-

RIGHT IN FRONT OF JIM MELOCK.

11:03 i know when the officer approached the car i heard him say that he smelled marijuana and thats when he proceeded to call the search

18 YEAR-OLD DAVID HENLEY WAS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT,

HIS PASSENGER-

COMMISSIONER BIGELOW.

DETECTIVES TELL US THEY IMMEDIATELY SMELLED BURNED MARIJUANA COMING FROM THE CAR.

HENLEY REPORTEDLY TOLD THEM, "SIR, I WANT TO BE HONEST. I HAVE A NIC BAG IN MY PANTS."

THEN REACHED INTO HIS PANTS AND PULLED OUT MARIJUANA.

DETECTIVES NOTED THAT BIGELOW BEGAN TO ACT EXTREMELY NERVOUS - HIS HANDS BEGAN TO SHAKE AND HE BEGAN TO SWEAT.

DEPUTIES SAY THEY FOUND A SMALL AMOUNT OF POT SCATTERED THROUGHOUT BIGELOW'S FORD,

BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO TEST POSITIVE FOR THC.

DETECTIVES REPORT HENLEY ADMITTED TO BUYING THE POT,

SO THEY ARRESTED HIM.

BIGELOW WOULDN'T ANSWER ANY OF OUR QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH THE TEEN.

03:13 "I have the highest regard for your profession I really do and the public's right to know but I'm going to follow my lawyers advice and provide no comment right now."

HENLEY WAS ALSO ARRESTED FOR DRIVING BIGELOW'S CAR WITHOUT A LICENSE.

BIGELOW WAS CITED FOR ALLOWING THAT TO HAPPEN.

THAT'S HIS ONLY PUNISHMENT.

BIGELOW INCIDENT FOLO-PLASMA

DEPUTIES SAY ONCE THEY GOT HENLEY TO THE JAIL- THEY ALSO FOUND COCAINE ON HIM.

DETECTIVES TELL US HENLEY SAID IT WAS THE COMMISSIONER'S AND THAT BIGELOW USES COCAINE ON A REGULAR BASIS.

LEE COMMISSIONERS REACT-OC-SOTS-OC

NBC2 TRACKED DOWN SOME OF BIGELOW'S FELLOW COMMISSIONERS FOR THEIR REACTION TO THE STORY --

BUT NO ONE WANTED TO TALK.

THERE IS STILL A LOT OF INFORMATION WE'RE UNCOVERING IN THIS STORY.

TOSS TO STEVE-OC-DBX

TONIGHT, WE'RE LEARNING NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE PUNTA GORDA MOTHER WHOSE BABY WAS FOUND IN A FREEZER.

NBC 2 BROKE THE STORY LAST NIGHT -- AUTHORITIES SAY THE WOMAN SEARCHED THE INTERNET ON HOW TO PERFORM HOME ABORTIONS, AND THE INFANT HAD COCAINE IN HER SYSTEM -- BUT THE MOM WILL NOT FACE CHARGES.

NBC2'S STEVE CAMPION IS LIVE OUTSIDE THE HOME WHERE IT ALL HAPPENED, OFF BOCA GRANDE BOULEVARD.

PG MOTHER WON'T FACE CHARGES-REM 2

JUST WEEKS AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR HOW TO PERFORM SELF ABORTIONS -- PARAMEDICS FOUND JESSICA SMALLWOOD BLEEDING PROFUSELY HERE AT HER PUNTA GORDA HOME -- IN NEED OF A BLOOD TRANSFUSION.

PG MOTHER WON'T FACE CHARGES-BNR-PKG

TAKE PKG

Butch Arenal 0736 "This case has been disturbing to not only our investigators but to our entire department."

PUNTA GORDA'S TOP COP CLOSES A CASE -- BAFFLING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Cpt Tom Lewis, PGPD

0608 "I would be infuriated as a parent. Being connected to the case, it's disturbing, frustrating, it's troubling."

MOM JESSICA SMALLWOOD WALKS FREE TONIGHT -- AFTER DETECTIVES DISCOVERED HER SIX AND HALF POUND BABY FROZEN INSIDE THE HOME BACK IN JANUARY.

DAYS BEFORE -- SMALLWOOD WITH ZIP TIES AROUND AN UMBILICAL -- ARRIVED AT A HOSPITAL WITH NO BABY!

TESTS SHOW COCAINE IN THE CHILD'S SYSTEM.

Cpt Tom Lewis, PGPD

"When you find a baby wrapped in garbage bags, stuffed in a freezer, with cocaine in its system. The public is going to ask. No charges why? Florida case law."

INVESTIGATORS SAY SMALLWOOD -- IN HER THIRD TRIMESTER -- SEARCHED ONLINE FOR WAYS TO FORCE A MISCARRIAGE.

SHE TOLD COPS -- THE FARTHER ALONG IN A PREGNANCY -- THE MORE EXPENSIVE ABORTIONS COST.

EARLIER THIS YEAR -- SHE WOULDN'T SHARE HER SIDE OF THE STORY WITH US.

Take file nats -- "why did you put your baby in a freezer?"

HER LAWYER SPOKE MOMENTS AGO TO US --

Kevin Shirley, SMALLWOOD'S attorney

1352 "her and her family have been distraught over this."

- DENYING COCAINE USE AND DISPUTING PARTS OF THE REPORT.

1401 "it's not her fault there is nothing she could have done to save the child."

THE STATE ATTORNEY -- SAYS WITH THE EVIDENCE AT HAND -- SMALLWOOD DIDN'T BREAK ANY LAWS.

Shannon Doolity, Assistant State Attorney "without having any evidence how the fetus got there, there's no one to even look at for a potential charge."

UNDER FLORIDA LAW -- DOCTORS CANNOT PERFORM ABORTIONS IN THE THIRD TRIMESTER IN MOST CASES.

THE MOTHER CAN DO WHAT SHE WANTS.

Butch Arenal, Police Chief

PG MOTHER WON'T FACE CHARGES-REM 2

AGAIN THE MEDICAL EXAMINER RULED THIS DEATH AS A STILLBIRTH.

THE PUNTA GORDA POLICE DEPARTMENT FOUGHT HARD FOR A SECOND OPINION.

UNDER FLORIDA LAW - DETECTIVES WERE DENIED THE CHANCE TO SPEAK TO INFANT DEATH SPECIALIST IN MIAMI.

MCGREGOR COYOTE-REM 1

WE'VE BEEN OUT HERE ALL DAY AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE COYOTE,

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT HERE.

MCGREGOR COYOTE-BNR-PKG

Sot Amelia Hubbard

" it was a shock- I didn't even know what it was at first."

It was a coyote,

Taking a stroll though Amelia Hubbards fort Myers neighborhood.

Sot Amelia

"The coyote ran out in front of me. It was running along with my car."

That's when Amelia and another neighbor snapped photos and video of the 4 legged creature.

The Florida fish and wildlife conservation commission confirms this is a coyote.

Sot Amelia

I've lived here all my life and I've never seen a coyote."

Neither has Kristen rosinus.

Except in theses pictures.

Sot Kristen rosinus

"He's a lot bigger than I thought he'd be, but I don't know he looks like he hasn't had a meal in a while, he's pretty skinny."

Fwc says its up to the people here- to make sure he doesn't get a free meal.

Their advice- lock garbage cans up tight,

And keep small animals inside or outside only on a Short leash.

Sot Kristen

" having small dogs and children- hopefully they can find him"

Fwc is not actively searching for the coyote,

Since he hasn't caused any problems.

But neighbors worry- its just a matter of time before an encounter turns fatal.

Sot Amelia

" there's so many busy roads and so many houses, how is it going to go somewhere else? It's probably going to get hit by a car is what I think."

Drivers and walkers- should be extra aware.

Coyotes usually feed around dawn and dusk but-

Sot Amelia

This thing was out running around in plain daylight."

If you see it- or any coyote- wave your arms and start to yell!

By scaring the coyote- there's less of chance it will approach humans again.

Sot Amelia

MCGREGOR COYOTE-REM 1

RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR IS RIGHT.

BE EXTRA AWARE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND IF YOU SEE THE COYOTE OR EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS, CALL FWC IMMEDIATELY.

FLORIDA IS ONCE AGAIN A PUNCHLINE FOR ELECTORAL POLITICS.

WE ARE THE *ONLY STATE YET TO DECLARE A WINNER IN TUESDAY'S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Chad: What are people saying?

Jeanne: "Get with it Florida. Not again Florida.

NBC-2 CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT CHAD OLIVER DUG FOR ANSWERS TODAY.

FLORIDA COUNTING VOTES-PLASMA

RIGHT NOW PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS A LEAD OF 52-THOUSAND VOTES IN FLORIDA.

*SO CLOSE - ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER MORE THAN 8-MILLION VOTES WERE CAST.

KELLIE AND PETER - YOU'RE RIGHT - THANK GOODNESS THE WORLD ISN'T WAITING ON FLORIDA'S RESULT.

FLORIDA COUNTING VOTES-BNR-PKG

TODAY MIAMI-DADE FINALLY FINISHED COUNTING ABSENTEE BALLOTS.

THEY WORKED THROUGH THE NIGHT CHECKING 30-THOUSAND OF THOSE BALLOTS WHICH ARRIVED ELECTION DAY.

This is simply a matter of shear volume. We're dealing with a tremendous amount of paper.

"It's unforgivable."

THIS DELAY REMINDS POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR LAURA WEIR OF 2000 - WHEN FLORIDA FRUSTRATED PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.

They're having a field day with this. Because what they're saying with this is just more proof - this is the electronic form of the hanging Chad."

THE BALLOT BACK-UP GOES BEYOND NOT HAVING ENOUGH ELECTRONIC SCANNERS AT PRECINTS.

ALL 67 COUNTIES HAVE TO PROCESS PROVISIONAL BALLOTS. IN LEE COUNTY THAT NUMBER IS ABOUT 800.

Provisional ballots are for people who recently moved in from another part of the state. Maybe didn't bring their ID with them on election day. Or they requested an Absentee Day, changed their mind, and didn't bring that ballot with them on election day."

QUESTIONABLE BALLOTS THAT DON'T FALL INTO THE 'GOOD' PILE. GO BEFORE THE CANVASSING BOARD TOMORROW. SUPERVISORS OF ELECTIONS HAVE UNTIL SATURDAY TO CERTIFY THEIR 'UNOFFICIAL' ELECTION RESULTS. WHILE COUNTING CONTINUES, THE STATE'S GOVERNOR FACES QUESTIONS OF *WHY SUCH LONG LINES AND *WHY NO RESULT?
