NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) — A Florida Walmart was evacuated after a person was found inside the crawl space above its ceiling.
News outlets report the New Port Richey store was evacuated Tuesday morning as Pasco County deputies worked to get the person out. A sheriff’s statement says the person appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance.
