FDLE: downloaded child sexual abuse material

Gary Adams, 59, of Starke, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 29 for possession of obscene material and public order crimes.

The arrest stems from a CyberTipline report referred to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on April 27 by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, according to an arrest affidavit filed in Bradford County Circuit Court. Facebook had reported the account to the center on July 4, 2023, after flagging three video files in a Facebook Messenger chat group as apparent child sexual abuse material, the affidavit states.

An agent of FDLE’s Violent Crimes Against Children Unit wrote in the affidavit that the original tip was one of 32 CyberTipline reports linked to the same account dating back to September 2021. Six of those reports remain within the statute of limitations, and the agent wrote that he reviewed each and confirmed they contained additional files similar in nature to the originally flagged material.

The agent, a member of the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, wrote that he tied the account to Adams through several pieces of evidence: a verified phone number registered to Adams that was attached to multiple CyberTipline reports; an IP address associated with the account that geolocated to Adams’ address; and a subpoena response from internet service provider Lumen identifying Adams as the registered customer at that address. Law enforcement databases show Adams has lived at the address since December 2006, according to the affidavit.

FDLE said in a news release that the investigation is active and that additional charges may follow pending forensic analysis of Adams’ cellphone, which agents seized at the time of his arrest.

He claims affection, she claims battery

James Brewer, 38, of Hampton, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 30 for aggravated battery, possession of drug equipment and possession of cocaine.

Deputy K. Mozingo wrote in the arrest report that he made contact with the alleged victim around 8:22 p.m. on April 29 in reference to an unrelated case. During that conversation, the woman told him she had been in an abusive relationship with Brewer for about a year, that the two lived together and that she was pregnant with his child.

She told the deputy that she and Brewer had been arguing around 6 a.m. that morning when Brewer became irate and began screaming in her face, telling her, “I should slap you,” according to the report. When she tried to leave the bedroom, Brewer took off his backpack and shirt and pinned her to the bed by her forearms, the report states. She told the deputy that Brewer threatened to kill her and her family and “make sure she disappeared” before eventually letting her go and leaving for work.

When Brewer returned home around 5 p.m., the report states, he confronted the woman on the front porch, threw down his backpack and pinned her arms to the chair she was sitting in. She told the deputy she got away and began walking down the road, but Brewer followed, grabbed her arms and would not let her leave. According to the report, she said Brewer then forcibly pulled her into a hug and kissed her while she screamed at him to stop.

Two witnesses provided sworn statements corroborating portions of the account, the report states. One witness wrote that he saw Brewer hold the woman down and refuse to let her go. A second witness wrote that he saw Brewer arrive home from work, drop his backpack and then hold the woman down as she screamed for him to get off of her. A neighbor who was not initially involved told the deputy she had heard screaming from the residence and seen a man matching Brewer’s description holding down a white female.

Mozingo wrote that he went to the Hampton residence, but Brewer was not there. Around 12:14 a.m. on April 30, the deputy received a call advising that Brewer was at the Circle K at Griffis Loop in Starke. Deputies located him inside the store and detained him.

After being read his Miranda rights, Brewer told the deputy he had argued with the woman that morning but never put his hands on her, according to the report. He said he hugged her and kissed her on the forehead after returning from work but denied any physical altercation.

Brewer consented to a search of the vehicle he had driven to the convenience store, the report states. He told the deputy that a friend had recently been in the vehicle and had left a glass pipe wrapped in a napkin in the glove compartment. Inside the glove compartment, Mozingo wrote, he located a cylindrical glass pipe with burnt residue, which the deputy described as consistent with paraphernalia used to smoke crack cocaine, along with a balled-up napkin containing a white rock-like substance. The substance weighed approximately 4.66 grams and field-tested positive for cocaine, according to the report.

When asked, Brewer told the deputy he did not know what the substance was or what the pipe was used for, the report states.

Robert Cain, 86, of Hampton, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 26 for failure to appear.

Children hanging out of car windows, squalid conditions found at home

Jenna Collard, 33, of Hampton, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 27 for child neglect, while Rose Touw, 40, of Hampton, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 27 for child neglect and a probation violation.

The investigation began about 2:54 p.m. April 27 when Deputy Zachary Jones spotted a gold Honda Pilot with two small children hanging out a passenger-side window, according to the arrest report. Jones wrote that the road was uneven and pocked with potholes, and that the vehicle’s shaking posed a danger to the children, who were at risk of falling out.

After stopping the SUV, Jones reported finding eight children inside a vehicle equipped with eight seats, including the driver’s. At least two children were not buckled in, the deputy wrote. Touw, who was driving, told Jones she was the children’s caregiver and was taking them home to Collard’s residence, where they all lived.

Citing concerns for the children’s welfare, Jones followed the group to the residence, where he reported watching the children run barefoot through a yard strewn with broken glass and rusty metal. Some of the children began breaking panes of glass on concrete while Touw tried to supervise them, the deputy wrote.

Touw consented to let Jones inside the house, where the deputy reported being met by a strong smell of feces, swarms of flies and conditions so cluttered he could not fully examine all of the bedrooms. Among the conditions Jones documented were piles of fresh and old dog feces on the floors and on bedding, soiled mattresses, an exposed electrical socket hanging out of a wall directly onto a child’s bed, uncovered food in a dirty refrigerator, rotten flooring and a broken toilet filled with human waste.

Collard, who was not at the residence when Jones arrived, returned and agreed to speak with the deputy after being read her Miranda rights, the report states. Jones wrote that Collard initially said the home had been clean when she left that morning but later acknowledged she knew about the unsanitary conditions and safety hazards. She told the deputy nine children live with her at the residence and admitted the home had been in that condition for at least several weeks, according to the affidavit. Collard acknowledged the conditions were a safety risk and were detrimental to the children’s physical and mental well-being, Jones wrote.

Touw told the deputy she had been living with Collard and the children for about four years and was aware of the conditions, the report states. She also told Jones she rolled the windows down on the SUV and generally allowed the children to put their heads out the window while she drove, according to the affidavit.

Landlord pulled gun on tenant

Robert Crane, 84, of Starke, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 29 for aggravated assault with a weapon.

According to an arrest report, deputies were dispatched to a Sampson City-area residence at approximately 2:02 p.m. in reference to an armed assault in progress. According to the report filed by Deputy Christopher Gardiner, Sgt. Shiller, Cpl. Wells and Gardiner found a husband and wife tenants, the alleged victims, in the front yard. Crane was inside the residence with the front door closed and the windows covered.

Sgt. Shiller began callouts using the patrol vehicle’s PA system and made contact with Crane on his cellphone, the report states. After multiple commands to come outside unarmed with his hands in the air, Crane exited the front door and refused to put up his hands, instead reaching toward his left hip and lifting his shirt to display a pistol. Sgt. Shiller removed the pistol, a Ruger EC9s 9mm, later identified by serial number, and secured it. The weapon had a round in the chamber and six rounds in the magazine.

The female told deputies the situation stemmed from a verbal altercation the previous day. She said she and her partner had been living at the residence for approximately three years and were in the process of packing to leave “in peace” after Crane cornered her in a hallway that morning wanting to talk.

As the male tenant carried belongings to the fence line, the front gate was secured with a chain and padlock that Crane refused to unlock. Crane saw a knife in the back waistband of the male’s shorts and yelled at him not to bring it back to the house, the report states. When the male tenant returned from the gate, Crane drew the pistol and pointed it at him. The tenant tossed the knife onto the porch.

The victim told deputies he raised his hands and spun around, and that Crane repeatedly aimed the gun at him, calmed down, then aimed it again. The victim began yelling for a neighbor, at which point Crane raised the gun once more before following his wife into the house, according to the report. The female tenant, who was inside the residence at the time, ran to a bedroom and locked herself in to call 911 because she feared Crane was going to shoot her husband, the report states.

Crane told the reporting deputy he had warned the tenant not to bring the knife to the house and drew his pistol after the male tenant reached for it. The report notes Crane would not say what happened after that point.

Got away before, this time caught

Elaine Doughman, 63, of Starke, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 28 for larceny.

Deputy J. Huling responded to the Walmart at 2451 Commercial Drive at about 6:36 p.m. in reference to a shoplifting complaint, the arrest report states. A loss prevention specialist told the deputy that she and another employee watched Doughman enter the store at about 6 p.m. and pass all points of sale with two padlock pins and various beauty care products without paying.

Store employees confronted and detained Doughman outside the registers, according to the report. The loss prevention specialist told the deputy that Doughman has shoplifted from the store multiple times over the past year, but that staff have rarely been able to catch her.

Doughman told the deputy she had been charged with theft twice many years ago and admitted she attempted to leave the store with the items on purpose, the report states. A criminal history check showed the previous theft charges had been dropped.

Walmart asked that Doughman be trespassed from the store for two years, according to the report. Store officials said camera footage of the incident would be provided to investigators.

David Garland, 47, of Gainesville, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 29 for possession of drugs, possession of marijuana, possession of drug equipment and a moving traffic violation.

Left scene of fatal crash, claimed he hit a deer

Trevor Gay, 44, of Starke, was arrested by Bradford deputies on May 1 for hit and run involving a fatality.

The arrest stems from the death of Dushyantkumar Kantilal Desai, who was walking southbound along the right side of the outside lane of U.S. 301 on the evening of Oct. 7, 2023. According to the affidavit prepared by Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Ryan Davenport, Gay was driving a 2004 GMC Sierra southbound in the same outside lane when the front right portion of his vehicle struck Desai at 8:12 p.m.

Desai was pronounced dead at HCA Florida Starke ER. Davenport wrote that Gay fled the scene, continuing south on U.S. 301.

Investigators pieced together the truck’s path using nearby business surveillance video. Footage from the Patriot Saloon showed Gay’s GMC Sierra traveling southbound on U.S. 301 with both headlights working before the collision, the affidavit states. Camera footage from the Whiskey River Saloon, 1.2 miles south of the Patriot Saloon, captured the same Sierra with its right front headlight inoperable making a right turn onto State Road 16.

Two days later, on Oct. 9, troopers located Gay’s GMC Sierra at his residence. Davenport wrote that the truck had damage to the right front consistent with a vehicle-versus-pedestrian collision and that the right headlight assembly had been removed before law enforcement arrived.

Gay sat for a sworn, Mirandized interview with FHP Cpl. Clayton Visman, according to the affidavit. He told the corporal the damage to his Sierra came from striking a deer roughly a month before the crash and said he had been at his residence the entire day Desai was killed and never left the house.

Gay’s significant other told Visman in a separate sworn interview that Gay left the residence just before halftime of the Georgia–Kentucky college football game that night, the affidavit states. Halftime began at 8:35 p.m.

Investigators obtained a search warrant for cell tower data tied to Gay’s phone. According to the affidavit, his phone pinged off a tower north of the crash site at 8:07 p.m. on Oct. 7 and a tower south of the crash site at 8:19 p.m., placing him in the vicinity of the collision and contradicting his statement that he had not left home.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement also tested paint samples taken from Desai’s clothing and compared them with samples collected from Gay’s GMC Sierra. A laboratory report cited in the affidavit found that a white, three-layer paint fragment recovered from Desai’s clothing showed similarities to paint taken from Gay’s truck and could not be ruled out as having originated from the Sierra.

Argument leads to battery

Kelvin Hamm, 62, of Starke, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 27 for battery.

Deputy Michael Gillick responded at 9:29 p.m. to an anonymous report of a fight in progress on the third floor of a North Walnut Street residence, according to the arrest report. The caller declined to provide a specific location beyond the floor.

Upon arrival, Gillick reported hearing a verbal altercation coming from a third-floor room and made contact with Hamm and a female occupant. The woman had visible swelling and redness on the right side of her face, the report states.

The woman told the deputy that during a verbal argument, Hamm struck her in the face with a closed fist. Hamm denied the allegation, telling the deputy the woman had attempted to grab a back scratcher from him during the argument and that the item broke and struck her in the face, according to the report.

Citing the visible injuries and the woman’s sworn statement, Gillick placed Hamm under arrest and transported him to the Bradford County Jail without incident.

Mario Hankerson, 50, of Starke, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 28 for possession of cocaine and sale of cocaine.

Scott Hartley, 54, of Jacksonville, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 28 for a probation violation.

Pushed husband for damaging car

Danielle Huguley, 42, of Starke, was arrested by Bradford deputies on May 1 for battery.

According to an arrest report, Deputy J. Huling responded to a Sampson City area residence at 8:07 p.m. in reference to an assault. Upon arrival, the deputy made contact with Huguley, who said her husband had damaged her vehicle by closing a metal gate into the driver’s door as she was attempting to leave. Huling noted a visible scratch on the driver’s door of the vehicle, which is registered to both parties. Huguley told the deputy she planned to file for divorce in the near future.

Huguley said that after her husband closed the gate into the side of the vehicle, she exited and pushed him away from the vehicle, throwing her hands up and asking what he was doing. She then got back into the vehicle and proceeded to leave, but returned to the residence and used her vehicle to block the driveway to prevent her husband from leaving while law enforcement was en route.

When deputies spoke with the husband separately, he gave a nearly identical account, saying he had struck the door of the car with the gate before Huguley exited the vehicle and pushed and shouted at him. He further alleged that Huguley punched him in the chest after pushing him. The report notes there was no visible sign of injury on either party.

Huguley told deputies that children were present during the incident and were playing around the outside of the vehicle while the altercation took place.

Because the two parties are a married couple living together as a family unit, Huguley was placed under arrest for simple battery, domestic violence, and transported to the Bradford County Jail without incident, the report states. The Department of Children and Families will be contacted in reference to the incident.

Sex offender moved without notification

Harold Strickland, 75, of Starke, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 30 for sex offender violations.

The case began Feb. 7, when Cpl. Antonio L. Velazquez of the sheriff’s office Sex Offender and Predator Unit went to Strickland’s registered address to conduct a Florida Department of Law Enforcement address verification, according to the warrant affidavit.

The homeowner told Velazquez that Strickland had left the residence three to four months earlier and that his current whereabouts were unknown. The resident added that Strickland left because he believed there was an active warrant for his arrest, the affidavit states.

Velazquez attempted to reach Strickland at the phone number listed in his offender file, but the line had been disconnected, according to the affidavit.

Strickland had completed his most recent sex offender registration in person at the sheriff’s office on Jan. 26, less than two weeks before deputies discovered he had vacated the address. During that registration, the affidavit states, Strickland signed an FDLE form acknowledging his obligations to report vacating a residence, any change of address within 48 hours, and any relocation to another jurisdiction.

A nationwide registry search conducted Feb. 13 found no active registration for Strickland in any other Florida county, according to the affidavit.

Strickland is a designated sex offender based on a 1984 conviction in Alachua County for sexual battery, injury not likely, according to the affidavit. He has two prior convictions for failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements, one in Duval County in 2009 and another in Bradford County in 2020.

Tried to take away cell phone

Ethan Sullivan, 21, of Old Town, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 26 for battery.

Deputy K. Mozingo wrote in the probable cause affidavit that he was dispatched to a Whispering Oaks apartment at 10:55 p.m. in reference to a disturbance. The woman who called told the deputy she had been lying on a couch in the living room watching television about an hour earlier when Sullivan came in and asked if they could sleep in the same room together, the report said. When she told him no, Sullivan began yelling at her and grew aggressive, according to the affidavit.

The woman told the deputy she began texting her sister, and when Sullivan asked to see her phone and she refused, he grabbed the device and her hand and would not let go, the report said. She told Mozingo that Sullivan kept squeezing and pulling her hand back and forth before eventually releasing it.

Sullivan was walking out of the apartment building when the deputy made contact with him and was read his Miranda rights, the report said. Sullivan initially told Mozingo he and the woman had only had a verbal argument and denied grabbing her phone, according to the affidavit. After a sergeant arrived and questioned him further, Sullivan admitted to grabbing the woman’s phone and her hand.

The woman and Sullivan live together but are separated, according to the report. She told the deputy she is pregnant and that Sullivan had told her he kept a firearm in the home and put a lock on his bedroom door to keep her from getting to it. Sullivan denied having a firearm when asked.

The woman completed a sworn statement and told the deputy she did not want to press charges. Mozingo wrote that he conducted a domestic violence lethality assessment with her, advised her she was in a potentially lethal situation and provided information about the nearest domestic violence shelter.

Strangled her and dragged her across the yard

Adam Wilson, 27, of Lawtey, was arrested by Bradford deputies on April 29 for battery.

According to an arrest report, Cpl. W. Konkel responded to a residence on Northwest 25th Avenue at about 11:34 p.m. on April 28 in reference to a physical assault that had already occurred. The victim, identified in the report as Wilson’s girlfriend, told deputies that Wilson had put his arm around her neck and then switched to using his hands, leaving her unable to breathe or speak, according to the report.

She also told deputies Wilson dragged her through the yard just before law enforcement arrived, the report states. A responding deputy observed redness on the victim’s neck, and the report notes she had dirt on the back of her shirt, which was ripped, possibly from being dragged. The victim pointed out bruises on her legs but said those injuries were from a previous day, according to the report.

Wilson was read his rights and agreed to speak with deputies, the report states. He told Konkel that the victim “had lost control,” that nothing physical occurred and that he never touched her.

John Winters, 55, of Melrose, was arrested by Bradford deputies on May 1 for possession of drugs.

Refused to identify attacker

Jerry Jones Jr., 29, of Lake Butler, was arrested by Union deputies on May 2 for battery (second or subsequent offense).

According to an arrest report, Cpl. Clyde N. Barringer responded around 1:33 a.m. May 2 to a residence on Southwest 66th in Union County, where he made contact with a woman who said she had been “jumped.” Barringer wrote that he observed blood coming from the woman’s facial area, a swollen left eye and other visible marks on her body. He described her as visibly in distress and crying.

The woman told deputies she had been riding in the back seat of her own vehicle while another man was driving. She said they picked up another male, who became angry after she refused to drive him to her father’s bar to buy beer. According to the report, the man began hitting her in the car, and after Brown stopped the vehicle, the man pulled her out and continued to hit her several more times before she got away and went to a nearby address to call law enforcement.

At the entrance of that address, deputies located a flip-flop, a broken beer bottle and what appeared to be blood spatter.

Barringer wrote that he was familiar with the woman from prior law enforcement contacts and knew her to be in a romantic relationship with Jones. When asked repeatedly whether Jones was the man who attacked her, she said no.

Deputies then went to the driver’s residence on Southwest 79th Street. The driver told Barringer that Jones had dropped him off at home and that Jones had been driving a small silver car, identified in the report as a 2010 Hyundai. According to the report, the driver said of the woman, “he beat her ass,” and told the deputy Jones believed she was cheating on him. The driver also told deputies he saw Jones swing a bottle at the woman while she was still in the vehicle but could not confirm whether it struck her, the report states. The driver declined to give a sworn statement.

Union County EMS transported the woman to Lake City Medical Center for evaluation.

Deputies later found the silver Hyundai parked outside Jones’ apartment on Northeast 1st Street. Barringer wrote that when he knocked on the front door, he could hear Jones talking inside, and that Jones attempted to leave through the back door before stopping. Jones told the deputy he had recently arrived home with the driver and the woman and acknowledged he had been drinking, the report states. Barringer wrote that he could smell a strong odor of alcohol on Jones’ breath.

Dispatch advised that Jones was on probation with a stipulation of no alcohol and that he had a prior battery conviction, according to the report.

Jones was placed under arrest, transported to the Union County Jail and held with no bond listed, the report states. The woman was unable to give a sworn statement at the time because she was being transported by EMS, and photographs of her injuries were attached to the report as evidence.

Ran from deputies, tased

Joseph Holmes, 45, of Lake Butler, was arrested by Union deputies on May 3 for resisting an officer with violence and battery.

According to an arrest report, Deputy Austin C. Kazmierski responded around 10:11 p.m. May 3 to a residence on Southwest County Road 241A. Before deputies arrived, dispatch advised that Holmes had said over the phone, “I ain’t going to jail, they’re gonna have to fight me!” according to the report.

Kazmierski wrote that he and Cpl. Clyde N. Barringer made contact with Holmes, who was sitting in a shed on the property and had a visible laceration on the left side of his forehead. Holmes told the deputies he had gotten into a verbal altercation with his girlfriend that turned physical, and said she hit him first before he hit her, according to the report. Holmes told deputies the woman would lie and say he hit her first, the report states.

Deputies then spoke with the woman inside the residence. She told them Holmes had been drinking all day and was “extremely intoxicated,” according to the report. She said Holmes became angry after overhearing her phone call with his cousin and accused her of cheating. She told deputies Holmes began throwing food and dishes in the kitchen, then snatched a Bluetooth headset off her head, pushed her against the living room fireplace and tried to slam her on the ground, according to the report. She said she shoved Holmes to the floor and hit him in the face with the headset to get away, the report states.

Deputies reported visible damage throughout the kitchen and living room, including thrown food and dishes and a broken Bluetooth headset on the living room floor.

The woman declined to give a sworn statement and said she did not wish to pursue charges, according to the report. She also told deputies Holmes had threatened her with a BB gun, but a search of the residence turned up no firearm of any kind, the report states.

While deputies were speaking with the woman, Holmes re-entered the residence and the situation escalated again, according to the report. Barringer ordered Holmes to leave the residence and escorted him outside, the report states. After Holmes refused multiple commands to walk to the patrol car and was told he was being placed under arrest, he fled on foot, according to the report.

Barringer deployed his agency-issued Taser, striking Holmes in the back, according to the report. Once Holmes was on the ground, he continued to resist and grabbed the Taser in an attempt to disarm Barringer, the report states. Barringer tased Holmes a second time, gaining compliance, and deputies placed him in handcuffs, according to the report.

Union County EMS evaluated Holmes at the scene and cleared him after cleaning minor facial lacerations, the report states. Deputies issued the woman a domestic violence and victim’s rights brochure along with a case number.

Kiva Kirby, 32, of Alachua, was arrested by Union deputies on April 27 for an out-of-county warrant.

Clay

Claimed driveway was public land

Shatamra Lee Gillyard, 28, of Keystone Heights, was arrested by Clay deputies on April 28 for trespassing on a structure or conveyance.

According to an arrest report, Deputy B.A. Jones responded to Notre Dame Street at approximately 3 a.m. in reference to a trespass call. Upon arrival, Jones reported hearing the homeowner verbally telling Gillyard that she needed to leave his property. Gillyard, who was standing in the driveway, refused to leave and stated she “did not need to leave,” according to the report.

Jones then made contact with Gillyard and advised her she was trespassing and needed to leave the property. Gillyard told the deputy she was on public land and did not have to leave. After being warned again that she could be arrested for trespass after warning, Gillyard refused, stating incoherently that she was on public land and could not be arrested during a state of emergency. Jones placed her in hand restraints and detained her in the rear seat of his patrol vehicle.

The victim told the deputy he had gone to the store before leaving for work, and when he returned to his residence, Gillyard was standing in his driveway. He said he had instructed her to leave multiple times before contacting law enforcement.

Lynda Hart Reed, 61, of Keystone Heights, was arrested by Clay deputies on April 25 for domestic battery.
