New York Times best selling author, Amor Towles is com- ing to Tampa for a discussion and signing of his latest novel, A Gentleman in Moscow.
Robert W. Saunders, Sr. Public Library Friday, March 10 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
In his remarkable first novel, the best-selling Rules of Civility (2011), Towles etched 1930s New York in crystalline relief. Though set a world away in Moscow over the course of three decades, his latest polished liter- ary foray into a bygone era is just as impressive about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotel. Limited parking at the library.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office has ar- rested a Department of Children and Families employee. She is facing several drug charges. The arrest came about after police were called after a home invasion.
XZAIVEOUS SCOTT ... Still at large
HOME INVASION SUSPECTS
According to police,
last Friday, two un- known, armed men forced their way into a home on Starlight Pointe Drive in Mulberry. Once inside, the men put the residents on the ground at gunpoint and ran- sacked the home before flee- ing the scene.
While investigating the home invasion, police said they discovered heroin, co- caine, and drug parapherna- lia inside the home.
Ms. Laymeshia Hicks,
25, surrendered to police Monday evening. Ms. Hicks, who had been an em-
ployee of DCF for 10 years, was charged with trafficking in cocaine, trafficking in heroin, maintaining a struc- ture for drug use, and posses- sion of drug paraphernalia. Police also placed a NEBBIA Hold on her, which means that she must prove the bond money was not acquired through illegal means.
Her fiancé, identified as 31-year-old Xzaiveous Scott, remains at large. She will be charged with the same charges as Ms. Hicks when she is taken into custody.
