Texts Reveal Woman's Plan to Acquire Firearms Over Sarasota's Decision to Keep Park Basketball Hoop

SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — Documents revealing threats directed at youngsters in Sarasota’s Mary Dean Park have been acquired by 8 On Your Side.

The released records include text exchanges between a park neighbor and her acquaintance. These conversations were forwarded to municipal workers, prompting them to remove the park’s basketball hoop as a safety precaution. Following public outcry, the hoop was reinstated last Thursday.
