Get on up, Orlando! Here's everything you need to know to get this Tuesday started off right.

Here are the top stories in Orlando today:

1. Orange-Osceola State Attorney Monique Worrell announced a new narcotics unit to investigate and prosecute high-level drug trafficking cases on Monday. Worrell said that incarceration cannot be the only method to crack down on drug crimes and the unit will work to differentiate between suppliers and addicts. (WFTV)

2. Rent Spikes: An Orlando woman moved out of her apartment after the apartment complex she lived at raised her rent by $800. She's not alone as several people report their rent increasing by hundreds of dollars a month. The Apartment Association of Greater Orlando says the skyrocketing prices represent a lack of supply.

3. A 24-year-old Kissimmee woman was killed when her car struck a metal pole at a high rate of speed as she was fleeing a hit-and-run, according to Florida Highway Patrol. Both crashes are under investigation. (Click Orlando)
