right now on news 8 at 7. >>good evening we begin with

charged with filing a false report. he was caught up with a scandal involving a confrontation at a gas station. he has since apologized for his misleading story. our other big story of the night, will we see some tropical weather in the bay area in the next few days. steve jerve joins us live. everybody wants to know the deal. >>it's tough to answer that, jen, because this is not a tropical depression. we've been talking about it for a couple of days because the computer models have suggested and the system does continue to drift to the northwest portion of florida. it is invest 99-l. it lowered today. we still have gaston well off to the east of us. now, the center of this to try

you could find the center. what we could tell from the earlier satellite it would be just north of haiti, but most of the activity far on the outside of the center of what appeared to be the circulation. we're seeing quite a bit of wind sheer associated with this system. hurricane hunter aircraft flying out of mcdill in tampa did detect a wind speed of about 24 miles per hour soar to be a fully exposed somewhat of a low-level circulation but very difficult to detect. the spaghetti models which will be changeable needless to say shifted to the west today. if the computer model doesn't have something to initialize off of it's more difficult to get a definitive track from these models, so that's why it changes

we have to be patient to wait for it to form, and it may do that in about a day and a half as it gets over warmer waters. then we'd get a better idea of the forecast. but we should all just keep an eye on it and see how it could affect our weather if at all. >>thank you, steve. newly released surveillance video could be the ski to putting the cuffs on a campus creep. the man may have gone streaking in a parking garage. chip osowski joins us live. >> reporter: it's a possibility that he is a repeat oftener. usf had a similar case last year and now police are thinking that guy may be this guy. the video shows the man entering the argo center and then leaving. while the imagines are clear, it

conceal his identity. university police first got the call a week ago, a man exposing himself outside the dining hall. three hours later, another call, same scenario. this time outside of the fresh foods dining area at the argo center. 14 minutes later officers receive a report of a man running naked in the beard drive parking garage, studentsun witness it, but one of the places he was at was somewhere i had been a little bit before it happened, so it's creepy. >> reporter: usf police now believe this may be the same guy who did the same thing last year. take a close look at this video. see how he walks. see how he's dressed. if he looks familiar, police would like to hear from you.

creep could show up just about anywhere. that being said they are urging students to be vigilant. students should travel with one another, walk with one another, and, of course, report anything that seems to be a little bit out of the ordinary. reporting live at the university of south florida, i'm chip osowski, news channel 8. a hernando county firefighter went from fighting flames to fighting for his life this afternoon. he was battling a fire. this is video from the scene just a couple of hours ago. hernando officials say he was in critical condition when taken to dade city hospital. he is now stable. as for that fire, investigators say it started in a garage and spread to a barn and a shed. tonight a pasco child protection investigator is out of a job and facing charges accused of falsifying a report. investigators say christine
