Two teens who couldn't wait to go back to school this fall were arrested after 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐀𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 Monday night.
Surveillance footage shows the two teens walking through the school around 11:30 p.m., searching drawers and attempting to pry open doors before they were startled by a school administrator. Both fled on foot and were not immediately located.
On Tuesday, SWFL Crime Stoppers shared surveillance photos of the suspects seeking the public's help in identifying them. Within hours 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 identified the teens as 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐞𝐢𝐲𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬.
Tuesday afternoon, deputies located Perkins at his residence and arrested him. During the investigation, deputies also recovered the clothing Perkins was wearing during the burglary, matching what was seen in the surveillance footage. Davis later turned himself in.

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.

After more than 𝟖𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬, a Southwest Florida hero has finally returned home.
On June 5, 2026, the remains of 𝐔.𝐒. 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡. 𝐒𝐠𝐭. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐂. 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐫. arrived at Southwest Florida International Airport, where he was honored during a private military ceremony. Palmer was just 20 years old when the B-24H Liberator bomber he served aboard was shot down over Kassel, Germany, on September 27, 1944, during WWII. LCSO’s Traffic Unit and 4th Precinct personnel were on hand and had the honor to assist with the escort.
For decades, his family waited for answers. Thanks to the dedication of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency and advances in forensic science, Tech. Sgt. Palmer has now been identified and will be laid to rest with full military honors on June 8 at Sarasota National Cemetery.
His return brings long-awaited closure to loved ones, including his 98-year-old cousin in Bonita Springs, and serves as a powerful reminder that the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes are never forgotten.
