A 31-year-old male teacher and head football coach at Bartow High School was arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office after reports of inappropriate conduct towards female students led to a criminal investigation.
Tyler Eden, DOB 01/18/1994, of Bartow has been charged with Lewd Offense against a Student by an Authority Figure (F2), Lewd and Lascivious Touching of a Minor (F3), and Voyeurism (M1).
The investigation began on April 2, 2025, after a parent reported inappropriate conversations Mr. Eden had with their daughter when the student met with him to perform extra-curricular work for community service hours.
During the investigation, that included interviews with students and a school administrator, detectives learned that Mr. Eden asked a student if she wanted to earn community service hours by helping him with athletic chores. The student agreed, and went to the locker room where she began to sort football helmets at his direction. During this first interaction, Eden talked to the female victim about a teacher who wanted to have sex with him in the locker room. The victim said she told the coach that she didn’t want to talk about that. Eden continued the conversation, telling the victim that he was married, but still wanted to engage in sexual activity with the teacher.
The next day, the female victim went back to perform more community service. As the victim was helping Eden break down boxes, her hoodie jacket got caught on one of the boxes and the zipper broke open. The hoodie served as her top, so she asked Mr. Eden for a T-shirt that she could put on, as she wished to cover herself up. Eden responded by reaching out and unzipping her jacket all the way, at which point she told him that she was uncomfortable—the only clothing she was wearing underneath the hoodie was a bra. Eden repeatedly tried to fix the jacket, but eventually handed her a t shirt. The victim walked into a separate locker room area to change. When she turned around, he was standing right behind her, watching her. He then complimented her bra, and told her repeatedly there were no cameras there. The victim told Eden she was uncomfortable, at which time Eden asked her not to report the incident. The student reported the incident to her parents that evening, and then to school administrators the next day.
When asked by school administrators what occurred, Eden first said that he only provided the student with a shirt. Then as he was told that he was being placed on administrative leave, he said that he wanted to admit something, and told the staff that, at the student’s request, he attempted to help her fix her zipper.
“Not only is this highly inappropriate behavior by a teacher, imagine just how frightened this student was. Here was the head football coach who was already discussing lewd behavior, unzipping her clothes, then following her into a locker room where he remarked there are no cameras, and complimenting her undergarments. This guy is a total creep, and now he’s going to jail. We are not going to tolerate anyone – especially school teachers and coaches – preying on our children.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff
During the investigation, detectives interviewed two other female students. One student reported that Eden told her there were no cameras in the locker rooms and how it would be “easy to do certain things in there.” He also stated that he was popular and that another teacher wanted to have sex with him in the locker room. The other student told detectives that Eden asked her what she wanted to do when she graduated – she told him that she wanted to go to college and be an obstetrician/gynecologist. Eden told the student that he himself would be a good Ob/Gyn because he liked to perform oral sex on women, using crude and graphic language. He then asked the student if she wanted to earn community service hours, and she declined.
“It’s unconscionable that an educator and coach would engage in this kind of behavior with students. This individual has shown that he cannot be trusted, and deserves to face justice for his actions. We commend the Polk County Sheriff’s Office for their thorough investigation, and for taking action to protect students.” — PCPS Superintendent Fred Heid
Tyler Eden was booked into the Polk County Jail, and will have a first appearance hearing on Thursday, April 17th. Please direct your inquiries regarding Eden’s employment to Polk County Public Schools.

Bartow, Fla. (April 15, 2025) — As Polk County continues experiencing dry weather conditions due to a prolonged lack of rainfall, Polk County officials issued a burn ban effective April 15. The ban includes unincorporated Polk County.
The burn ban is determined using the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI). The KBDI is a continuous reference scale, ranging from 0 to 800. It assesses the moisture content from no moisture deficiency (0) to maximum drought conditions (800) of the soil. This helps predict the potential for wildfires.
Utilizing the KBDI, the process of a burn ban begins once more than 50% of the county reaches 500 on the index. Polk County’s current daily reading is 55% over the 500 benchmark with a countywide average of 503.
The burn ban prohibits:
• Campfires;
• Bonfires;
• Unpermitted controlled burns;
• Burning yard and household trash;
• Burning construction debris;
• Burning organic debris;
• Igniting fireworks; and
• Noncommercial burning of materials other than for religious or ceremonial purposes, in which case they must be contained in a barbecue grill or barbecue pit, and the total fuel area cannot exceed 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height.
Anyone who refuses to comply or violates this burn ban shallbe in violation of Polk County Ordinance 08-015 and can be punished by a fine not to exceed $500 or by imprisonment not to exceed 60 days in the county jail or both.
Polk County officials may repeal the burn ban when deemed safe.
A driver involved in a fatal crash in Winter Haven back in January has been arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office after test results showed the man was driving under the influence of alcohol.
The crash occurred on State Road 60 at Logistics Parkway at 4:25 am, Saturday, January 25, 2025.
35-year old Orli Dagoberto Argueta Sanchez of Honduras was killed in the head-on crash when his 2004 Nissan Sentra was hit by a 2022 Hyundai Sonata that was traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes.
On Tuesday, April 15, 2025, detectives from the PCSO’s Traffic Homicide Unit arrested Sergio Nino Ramirez, 27, of Lake Wales, and charged him with DUI Causing Death (F2) and Vehicular Homicide (F2). Ramirez is a US citizen.
“An innocent man was killed in that horrendous crash nearly three months ago, but Sergio Ramirez’s life goes on. My detectives are the best at what they do, and they have built a very strong case that should result in Ramirez getting the justice he deserves.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff
The detectives had to obtain warrants to get Ramirez’s blood that was taken at the hospital following the crash. The blood was then delivered to the toxicology lab at the University of Florida and tested.
Lab results showed that Ramirez had a blood alcohol content of 0.12 g/100mL at the time that he was admitted at the hospital, after the crash. The legal limit is 0.08 g/100mL.
The detectives also examined the Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) from Ramirez’s car. It showed that there was no braking or other driver input just prior to the collision.
Following his arrest, Ramirez was taken to the Sheriff’s Processing Center and booked-in. He currently has no bond, and will have First Appearance Wednesday.
In my previous article, I discussed the importance of auditing your environment as the foundation for understanding and mitigating cybersecurity risks. Today, I want to dive deeper into a critical subset of that process: auditing for endpoint security. Endpoints such as laptops, desktops, mobile devices, IoT devices, and servers are often the entry points for cyberattacks. Securing them requires a clear picture of their Cyber Hygiene status. A well-designed cybersecurity dashboard can transform raw audit data into actionable insights for data-driven decisions.
Strengthening Your Cybersecurity with Endpoint Security Standards
To safeguard enterprise networks, organizations must prioritize endpoint security by establishing a clear standard for the security stack installed on all devices. This standard ensures consistency, reduces vulnerabilities, and fortifies the frontline of your cybersecurity defenses—your endpoints.
Why Endpoint Security Audits Matter
Endpoints, including laptops, desktops, and mobile devices, are prime targets for cyberattacks. Recent studies reveal that over 70% of breaches originate from compromised endpoints, often exploited through malware, phishing, or unpatched vulnerabilities. Regular endpoint security audits are critical to maintaining a robust defense. They allow organizations to answer essential questions, such as:
Are endpoints compliant with your organization’s security policies?
Are operating systems and applications updated with the latest patches?
Are all endpoints equipped with up-to-date antivirus solutions (like Windows Defender), application whitelisting tools (such as PC-Matic), or endpoint detection and response platforms (like CrowdStrike Falcon)?
Are unauthorized devices or software lurking on the network?
Without these audits, organizations risk operating in the dark, unaware of gaps that attackers can exploit. However, auditing is only the first step. To act effectively, organizations must visualize audit data and prioritize remediation efforts to address the most critical vulnerabilities swiftly.
The Need for a Standardized Security Stack
Security Stack and Standard Updates
A standardized security stack ensures every endpoint is equipped with the necessary tools to prevent, detect, and respond to threats. By mandating specific solutions, such as antivirus, endpoint detection, and response tools, organizations eliminate inconsistencies that could weaken their defenses. A standardized approach also simplifies audits, streamlines compliance, and ensures that every device adheres to the same high-security baseline.
Step 1: Conducting an Endpoint Security Audit
An effective endpoint security audit involves collecting and analyzing data across several key areas. Here’s a framework to guide the process:
Inventory All Endpoints Use tools like Microsoft Endpoint Manager, CrowdStrike, Claroty or Tanium to discover every device connected to your network. Ensure you capture details like device type, operating system, IP address, and user assignment. Don’t overlook IoT devices or temporary endpoints like contractor laptops.
Assess Security Controls Verify that each endpoint has active security measures: Endpoint Security Stack Installed and up to date. Firewalls enabled with appropriate rules. Encryption (e.g., BitLocker or FileVault) for data at rest. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for user access.
Check Patch Status Identify missing patches for operating systems and applications. Tools like Qualys or Nessus can scan for vulnerabilities and flag outdated software. Prioritize critical patches based on CVE severity scores.
Monitor Software Compliance Identify unauthorized or unapproved software. Shadow IT—apps installed without IT consent—can pose serious risks. Leverage endpoint management tools, such as an application whitelist, to enforce a list of approved software.
Analyze User Behavior Review logs for suspicious activity, such as failed login attempts, privilege escalations, or connections to known malicious IPs. EDR solutions and firewall logs often provide behavioral analytics to highlight anomalies.
Document Compliance Gaps Compare your findings against frameworks like NIST 800-53, CIS Controls, or your organization’s policies. Flag non-compliant endpoints for remediation.
This audit creates a snapshot of your endpoint security posture, but raw data in spreadsheets or reports can overwhelm even the most seasoned teams. That’s where a cybersecurity dashboard comes in.
Step 2: Designing a Cybersecurity Dashboard for Endpoint Security
A dashboard consolidates audit data into a visual format, enabling IT and security teams to monitor, prioritize, and act. Here’s how to build one that drives decisions:
Define Key Metrics Select metrics that align with your security goals. Examples include:
Percentage of endpoints with up-to-date patches.
Number of devices missing endpoint detection and response tools
Number of Devices Missing antivirus
Number of Devices Missing application white listing app
Count of high-severity vulnerabilities by department.
Rate of detected malware incidents over time.
Compliance score (e.g., percentage of endpoints meeting CIS benchmarks).
Choose the Right Tools Platforms like Splunk, Power BI, Tableau, or Elastic Stack are excellent for building dashboards. Many EDR solutions, such as SentinelOne or Carbon Black, also offer built-in visualization features. Ensure your tool integrates with your audit data sources.
Design for Clarity Keep the dashboard intuitive: Use Visual Hierarchy: Highlight critical metrics (e.g., unpatched systems) with bold colors or larger widgets. Incorporate Charts: Bar graphs for vulnerability counts, line charts for patch trends, or pie charts for compliance status. Enable Drill-Downs: Allow users to click into metrics for details, like a list of non-compliant devices. Set Alerts: Configure notifications for thresholds, like a spike in malware detections.
Tailor to Stakeholders Different audiences need different views: CISO/Leadership: High-level KPIs, like overall risk score or compliance trends. IT/Security Teams: Granular data, like specific endpoints needing patches or active threats. Auditors: Reports mapping to frameworks like NIST or ISO 27001.
Automate Data Feeds Ensure real-time or near-real-time updates by connecting the dashboard to your endpoint management and security tools. Manual updates lead to stale data and missed opportunities.
Step 3: Making Data-Driven Decisions
A dashboard isn’t just a pretty interface—it’s a decision-making engine. Here’s how it empowers action:
Prioritize Remediation: If 36% of endpoints lack Patches, the dashboard can highlight affected devices, letting you target pushing patches or updates efficiently.
Track Progress: Monitor patch compliance over time to measure the impact of your efforts.
Identify Trends: Spot patterns, like recurring vulnerabilities in a specific department, to address root causes.
Justify Investments: Use data to make a case for budget increases, like upgrading unsupported OS’s or Hardware to bring environment back into compliance.
For example, I once worked with a team that used a Cyber Security dashboard to reduce the number of Endpoints missing the PCMatic Supershield protection agent from 47% to under 5% in three months. By visualizing installation status by department, they identified laggards, tailored communications, and gamified compliance—turning data into results. Leadership supported the effort by incentivizing the first department to meet compliance to a catered lunch.
Challenges and Tips
Building and using a dashboard isn’t without hurdles:
Data Overload: Focus on 5-10 key metrics to avoid clutter. You can always add more later.
Tool Integration: Ensure your endpoint tools feed clean, consistent data to the dashboard. Invest time in API setups or data normalization.
User Adoption: Train teams on how to read and act on the dashboard. A tool no one uses is wasted effort.
Continuous Improvement: Regularly review metrics to ensure they reflect evolving threats, like zero-day exploits targeting endpoints.
Conclusion
Auditing endpoint security is a non-negotiable step in protecting your organization from cyber threats. But the real power lies in turning audit data into insights through a well-crafted cybersecurity dashboard. By visualizing key metrics, you empower your team to prioritize, act, and measure progress with confidence. In a world where endpoints are under constant attack, a data-driven approach isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
What’s your experience with endpoint security audits or dashboards? Have you found specific metrics or tools that make a difference? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Highlands County, FL — A 53-year-old tow truck driver from Labelle was killed Friday morning in a tragic crash on U.S. Highway 27, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The incident occurred just north of Ragan Avenue (Lake Placid), where a tow truck had stopped on the northbound shoulder of the highway. The driver, who has not yet been publicly identified pending further release of information, was standing on the shoulder next to the truck when the collision occurred.
According to FHP’s preliminary investigation, a vehicle traveling north on US 27 in the outside lane veered to the right, entering the shoulder. The right side of the vehicle sideswiped both the vehicle and trailer in tow, and struck the tow truck driver, who was positioned between the outside travel lane and the tow truck.
The impact was fatal. Emergency responders pronounced the pedestrian dead at the scene.
The Florida Highway Patrol has confirmed that the crash remains under active investigation. No additional information about the driver of the striking vehicle has been released at this time.
Lt. Gregory S. Bueno of the FHP’s Public Affairs Division confirmed the victim’s next of kin has been notified.
This incident serves as a somber reminder of the dangers roadside workers face and underscores the importance of Florida’s “Move Over” law, which requires drivers to move over a lane — or slow down if they cannot safely do so — for stopped emergency and service vehicles.
Anyone with additional information is urged to contact the Florida Highway Patrol.
One year passed since I moved out of Polk County. Recently, my editors were kind enough to finance a business trip allowing me to return to the county and visit for a week. These are some of the highlights of my trip.
Thurs. Apr. 3, 2025 (My Arrival)
My trip began at Raleigh-Durham Airport. Normally, my visits to the airport are smooth and uneventful. However, this time around, I was lucky I even managed to not miss my flight.
#image_title
I arrived at the airport around 11 AM, about an hour and a half before my flight. Normally, I would go through check-in and security without any hassle and with enough time to chill at the gate before my flight. Not this time. Because, no joke, I was forced to go through security three times!
The first time around, I made it through the queue and x-ray. However, my reusable water bottle was filled with liquid, so they would not let me pass until I emptied it. So, I went back into the terminal to one of the bathrooms to dump out my water.
The second time around, I experienced a problem with my boarding pass. Apparently, the birth date on my pass did not match the date on either my license or passport. So, I had to go to the check-in counter to have a new boarding pass printed with the correct date.
Third time was the charm. I went through the wheelchair lane (which they told me to take, seeing as I already waited in line twice at this point and did not want to miss my flight). I finally made it through. No problems with my pass or the x-ray. However, it did not help that I still had to take off my belt and my shoes. (Seriously? One guy sneaks a bomb in his shoes two decades ago and we still have to do this?)
Good news! I made it to my flight on time. Bad news? I misplaced my passport and thought I had left it at the service desk. No chance I was going through all that mess again at the risk of missing my flight. So, I went onto the plane thinking I had lost my passport. (And I’m going on a cruise in a month, no less!) Fortunately, I found the passport in my bookbag when I landed.
Speaking of landing, I landed safe and sound at the Orlando airport. Normally, I don’t worry about flying. I’ve flown many times before. And, statistically speaking, it’s still the safest way to travel. However, all of the news stories about plane crashes did not make me feel safe this time around.
I got off my plane and went to the rental car place to get my car. It was a sleek black Mitsubishi compact. Took me a while to get acquainted with my new vehicle, but I drove out of the airport garage without any hassle or hiccup.
Drove to the nearest Taco Bell for a Baja Blast to rest and take my meds before hitting the road. I took the back roads through Kissimmee. All my life living down in Florida, I never drove on I4 and I do not intend to. I would sooner play Russian roulette, and I feel that would be much safer. (For the record, I have driven on the interstate in Virginia, but the interstate up there and down here are almost night and day.)
Not going to lie: when I approached Davenport and saw the “Entering Polk County” sign, I nearly teared up. Finally, after one year, I was back home. I am still sore that I was forced to move (due to personal family drama I would rather not divulge). But, for the moment, I was glad to be back.
I dropped by Winter Haven to have dinner with my editor Kip Kirchberg and his wife Jody. Originally wanted to go to Bowen Yard, but it was closed. So, we went to Adler’s Burgers instead.
#image_title
I had the Bad Hombre burger with grilled whiskey onions and jalapeños. It was nice and spicy, but I added a splash of hot sauce and a few squirts of siracha sauce for some added heat. Kip only shook his head and told me I was going to get heartburn. (Joke’s on him: I did not.)
Finally arrived at the Airbnb I was staying at. It was a nice place along Lake Howard. It even has a pool and a fire pit. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and nicely furnished. It even had some snacks and coffee. (I don’t drink coffee, but I do eat chips.) My hosts were a local gal named Cali and her husband. I recommend looking up their place on Airbnb. They have some really nice digs.
And that was my journey from Virginia to Florida. Stay tuned for my next few articles where I detail my stay in Polk County and all the places I revisited.
An Auburndale woman who is on probation was arrested for attempted murder and other charges after intentionally running over another woman with her car after seeing the victim walking with the suspect’s estranged husband.
On April 10, 2025, PCSO detectives obtained a warrant for 41-year old Christdon Reese, charging her with Attempted First Degree murder (F1), Trespassing (M1), and Violation of Probation (M2). Detectives located Reese early the next morning, April 11th, on Tower Manor Circle East, took her into custody, and booked her into the Polk County Jail.
On April 10, 2025, the victim and her boyfriend walked to the Circle K store located at 4950 U.S. Hwy 92 East in Auburndale and purchased a few items. As they were walking across Old Dixie Hwy to go to a friend’s house, the boyfriend (who is Reese’s estranged husband) spotted Reese driving past them heading south on Old Dixie Hwy in her white Volkswagen Jetta. Reese then used the parking lot of the nearby Family Dollar store to make a U-turn and head north, accelerating quickly in their direction. The victim began to run down a driveway and Reese pursued her, striking her with her car. Reese then turned around in the driveway and fled north on Old Dixie Hwy at a high rate of speed.
The video surveillance system at the Circle K captured Reese making the U-turn to head back towards the victim.
The victim was transported by Polk County Fire Rescue to a local hospital, where X-rays revealed two spinal fractures; she is anticipated to recover. During the investigation, the resident at the home on Old Dixie Hwy told deputies that Reese did not have permission to be on his property, so she was additionally charged with trespassing.
“Domestic related calls are some of the worst calls to which we respond. When people allow their emotions to take over it can result in injury or even death. This victim was injured but luckily she survived the ordeal. Christdon Reese needs to learn how to control her temper, and maybe some cooling off in the jail will help.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff
Deputies learned that Reese has been on probation for a retail theft charge in Osceola County since 2023, so she was additionally charged with violation of probation.
On Sunday, April 13, 2025, a dog was shot by a Polk County Sheriff’s Deputy during a call involving loose livestock in the community of Eloise, Florida. The incident has since sparked strong reactions, with conflicting narratives from law enforcement and the dog’s family circulating on social media.
According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched around 10:39 a.m. to respond to reports of four to five cows roaming a residential neighborhood. Two deputies located the animals behind a residence. One deputy stayed with the cows while the other attempted to locate their owner. As the second deputy approached the front of a nearby property, the department says she was aggressively charged by a large pit bull. The deputy reportedly drew her firearm and fired several shots, striking the dog at least once and accidentally shooting herself in the leg. She was later treated at a hospital for a wound to her calf.
A sharply different account was shared publicly on the Winter Haven Word of Mouth Facebook group by a family member of the dog’s owner. In the post, the writer describes the dog, Draco, as a well-trained and gentle 10-year-old pit bull who had never shown aggression. They claim the deputy placed her hand on her holster before Draco approached and fired the first shot—striking herself—just as Draco began to retreat. The family says the deputy then continued firing, ultimately shooting Draco in the back as he ran away.
The post also alleges that the scene unfolded in front of over a dozen children, some as young as two years old, who had gathered to observe the cows. The family claims they were prevented from seeking veterinary care for Draco for over an hour and were told not to use their phones or record the incident. Draco, they report, remains in pain as the bullet could not be removed.
The Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that the dog was treated and is in stable condition. The dog’s owner was cited for having no tags, no proof of vaccinations, and for allowing the dog to roam.
Deputies were dispatched to a livestock call at about 10:39am on Sunday, April 13, 2025, to 6th Street in Eloise (south of Winter Haven), in reference to about 4-5 cows roaming loose in the residential neighborhood.
Two deputies located the cows behind a residence. One deputy stayed with the cows, while the other deputy went to find the owner of the cows.
As the deputy was walking around to the front of the property, a large pit bull aggressively charged at her. The deputy removed her firearm as the dog attacked her. The deputy fired several shots at the dog, striking it at least once, and striking her own leg once.
The other deputy quickly rendered aid and applied a tourniquet to the wounded deputy’s leg.
The deputy was transported to the hospital. Her injury was treated, and it was determined that the bullet entered and exited her right calf without hitting bone or an artery.
The dog was also treated and is in stable condition. The owner of the dog was cited for no tags or vaccinations and dog roaming.
The cows were returned to the owner, and the fence from where they escaped was repaired.
