Broward deputy arrested in drug/extortion case

By JOEL MARINO

A Broward Sheriff's deputy was arrested on extortion and drug-possession charges, days after he promised to not bust a marijuana grow-house owner in exchange for cash, Sheriff Al Lamberti said Monday.

Deputy Manuel Silva, 34, was arrested Friday and jailed in the maximum security section of the county's main jail and is being held without bond.

Officials say Silva, a nine-year veteran of the force, showed up at the Fort Lauderdale home of Orlando Gutierrez, 38, on Sept. 29 and demanded to search his home. Silva was out of uniform but brandished a badge and a gun, Lamberti said.

Judge in Northwestern principal case recuses himself

By DAVID OVALLE

A Miami-Dade judge recused himself Friday from the trial of former Northwestern High principal Dwight Bernard after pushing -- too hard, prosecutors said -- for a plea deal that would have preempted a trial.

Circuit Judge Julio Jimenez is off the case after prosecutors complained he openly advocated for a lenient deal for Bernard, who is accused of covering up a sex scandal at Northwestern involving a star football player in 2006.

Bernard's trial had been set to begin Monday, but was postponed.
