A hurricane watch has been issued for part of Florida as a strengthening tropical system, soon to become Tropical Storm Debby, approaches the state over the weekend. Tropical Depression Four is forecast to strengthen while moving northward along the Florida Peninsula's Gulf coast this weekend, spreading rain, gusty winds and severe thunderstorms slowly northward.

A Frontier pilot was handcuffed on board an aircraft in Houston and removed by Houston Police ahead of the flight's scheduled departure, officials confirmed on Saturday. The pilot was removed from Flight 3195 ahead of its planned departure from Houston to Dallas. Houston police identified the pilot as Seymour Walker, 45, who was wanted on an assault-family violence warrant.Law enforcement said they waited until the plane arrived at a specific gate at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport about 4 p.m. local time. When all passengers deplaned, officers boarded the aircraft and took the pilot into "custody without incident," police said. Frontier Airlines confirmed the incident in a statement to CBS News, saying "The activity occurred prior to the start of boarding for Flight 3195 scheduled from IAH to Dallas Forth Worth (DFW). A replacement crew member was not immediately available and therefore the flight was canceled."Passengers were offered a full refund, credit, or a spot on the next available Frontier flight.  "Airlines report incidents such as this to the FAA office that oversees them, and we investigate all pilot-related issues," the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

(CBS DETROIT) - A 42-year-old Canadian man was arrested after authorities seized 266 pounds of cocaine from a semi-truck he was driving at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron. The St. Clair County Sheriff's Office says Juli Sabosan Sathiaseelan was arrested after U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security Investigations discovered the cocaine around 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 1 at the Blue Water Bridge. Sathiaseelan, the semi-tractor and trailer and the evidence were turned over to the St. Clair County Drug Task Force, which is partnering with Homeland Security Investigations on the investigation. "Our partnerships with other law enforcement agencies from local to federal are absolutely essential in keeping drugs out of our community. The Drug Task Force's impact goes far beyond the confines of the Sheriff's Office," said St. Clair County Sheriff Mat King in a statement. Sathiaseelan was arraigned and is being held at the St. Clair County Detention and Intervention Center on a $3 million bond.
