On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: A green sea turtle on St. Croix was rescued and released after divers and community members worked together to remove a fishing spear lodged in its neck. We speak with leadership from the St. John’s Episcopal Church regarding the eviction of The Collective Collaboration. We also speak with the Collective Collaboration's founder who disputes the Church's assertions. A 19-year-old St. Thomas man is in custody on multiple felony charges, accused of running a years-long online blackmail scheme that coerced a teenage girl. WAPA will reopen part of the Queen Mary Highway near UVI and the Educational Complex on August 13, before shifting road closures westward the following day for construction. Listen to these stories and more.
