Tampa, Florida -- At USF on Wednesday, jugglers took center grass in front of the Marshall Center, pins and balls flying through the air.

But across campus where students live, police are investigating something much more weighty. A female student reports being raped early Sunday morning inside the Holly G residence hall.

"The individuals do know each other. This is not a stranger situation and we continue to investigate what the next course of action will be," said Lt. Charlotte Domingo of the USF Police Department.

Tampa, Florida -- A drug deal gone bad resulted in a showdown outside a Tampa Police District Office and the arrest of two men Friday afternoon.

Tampa Police say Milton Coley met up with Louis Ruiz-Machado at 109th Avenue and Lantana Avenue to conduct a drug deal at 12:40 p.m. When Coley refused to pay Ruiz-Machado for the marijuana, Ruiz-Machado fired a shot and Coley ran off.

Coley then called for a friend to pick him up in the 200 block of Bougainvillea Avenue. As Coley got into his friend's Nissan Altima, Ruiz-Machado started chasing them in his pickup truck.
