Proud to Serve

Living in Florida means we're surrounded by water; from pools and canals to lakes, rivers, beaches, and both coastlines. With so many opportunities to enjoy the water, drowning prevention is more important than ever, especially during the summer when families and children spend more time swimming, boating, and playing outdoors.

Yesterday, our Tactical Narcotics Unit conducted a traffic stop that led to the arrests of Latesha Downs and Jason Jones.
During the traffic stop, detectives conducted a search of Jones, locating Ecstasy pills.
Shortly after searching Jones, Downs admitted to detectives that she was concealing drugs ‘down under’…🤭
In the plastic bag from down under – detectives found 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 amounts of cocaine.
Both Downs and Jones were arrested and transported to the Lee County Jail.
At the conclusion of the investigation, Downs was arrested for Trafficking in Cocaine and Jones was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance without a Prescription.

A recent call for service pulled on the heartstrings of our 1st Precinct Crime Section Detectives. One of Benjamin’s favorite activities is riding his bike — so when detectives found out his bicycle was stolen from his residence, they knew they had to jump into action to replace it and ensure he had fresh wheels for the summer 🚲 ☀️. Detective Fischer even went above and beyond by getting a bike that was similar to the one stolen. We hope you enjoy your new ride, Benjamin!

What started as deputies searching a wooded area near NE 24th Ave. and Diplomat Pkwy. E. for a wanted subject quickly turned into a Bomb Squad callout.
While checking a transient campsite, deputies spotted several suspicious devices that appeared to be homemade explosives. The Lee County Sheriff`s Office Bomb Squad responded and safely secured the scene while detectives launched an investigation.
A search warrant later led to the recovery of seven explosive devices. Investigators discovered modified fireworks and a metal pipe device containing energetic powder. Several of the devices had been altered with paper clips, pellets, and BBs designed to act as fragmentation projectiles upon detonation.
During the investigation, 𝟐𝟏-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐨𝐥𝐝, 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐲 admitted to constructing the devices and adding the projectiles. He claimed the devices were intended to scare away animals.

On June 4, Violent Crimes Detectives began investigating an armed robbery at OG Smoke N Vape in Bonita Springs. Surveillance footage showed a masked male entering the business, brandishing a firearm, and demanding several products before fleeing the scene.
At the time, an extensive search was completed, but the male was not found.
The following day, detectives located video of the suspect walking around the area before the robbery, with no mask.
Simultaneously, deputies received a missing person’s report for 𝟏𝟕-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥, who was last seen wearing clothing identical to that worn by the robbery suspect.
