Ferry Captain Pleads, Tampa Drought Deepens

Ferry Captain Pleads, Tampa Drought Deepens

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

Ferry captain Dennis Kimerer has accepted a plea deal, downgrading his charge from misdemeanor to civil infraction for violating navigation rules in the April 2025 crash. But Jeff Knight, who played a bigger role, still faces eight felony charges for leaving the scene — a tragedy that killed one and injured several. Meanwhile, Tampa’s worst drought in 50 years is hitting hard: 17% of residents are using 40% of the water supply, with officials warning the crisis is dire as reservoirs like the Hillsborough River Dam show dangerously low levels.
