Man trespassed from convenience store twice in one night

Thursday, June 5

Drunk and still disorderly

10:18 p.m., 1600 block of Main Street

Suspicious person: Sarasota County Fire Rescue was on already on the scene, evaluating a subject who was conscious and alert. He declined medical attention and EMS cleared the scene. 

The man told an officer he had been downtown drinking and was walking back to his home nearby. He did not meet the criteria for the Marchman Act, but his troubles were far from over. A background check revealed an active warrant in Pasco County for disorderly conduct.

The subject was placed in handcuffs and transported to the Sarasota County Jail.

Sweet 15 party practice goes awry

8:39 p.m., 2000 block of Eighth Street

Disturbance: A quinceañera practice gone bad brought law enforcement to a home where a man complained that a female subject attacked his son. The minor advised an officer a younger female, whom he could identify, had playfully taken his phone but would not give it back.

Naturally, the situation escalated between the two to where they were chasing each other around and hitting each other, according to the boy, who said he was scratched and had his hair pulled. He stated at one point he had retaliated by taking the girl’s phone, leading to further scuffling.

The officer interviewed the minor girl, whose story was consistent with that of her mutual combatant. When asked why she absconded with the boy’s phone and did not give it back, she would only say that he touched her from behind while he was trying to retrieve his phone.

The host of the party rehearsal, who said the two minors do not otherwise know each other, said she wasn’t certain why the girl was antagonizing the boy (a classic adolescent flirting technique), but theorized she did so thinking it was fun. 

All parties were advised that no battery had occurred, the incident would be documented and the adults should better supervise their children in the future.

Night trippin’

11:42 p.m., 600 block of North Washington Boulevard

Trespassing: A subject who had been previously trespassed from a convenience store had violated the order and returned. An officer located the man nearby who confirmed he had been in the area of the store and, the report reads, “the people over there be trippin'," according to the incident report.

Convinced the man was not assisting people who had fallen down, the man was given a notice to appear in court and told the trespassing warning would be renewed and valid for one year from this date.

Repeat offender

4:50 a.m., 600 block of North Washington Boulevard

Trespassing: Merely five hours after he was trespassed for a second time from a convenience store, the subject from the previous report was once again spotted on the premises, perhaps in search of more people trippin’.

Officers spoke with a store employee who said the man was harassing customers and causing disturbances. This time, the man was handcuffed and taken into custody at Sarasota County Jail where, rather than being booked, he was issued a third trespassing warning and told, if he were to return any time within the next year, he would be subject to arrest.
