Sheriff Carmine Marceno interviewed with Gulf Coast News regarding LCSO’s ongoing efforts to crack down on motorists causing havoc on our roadways. Operation Wild Wheels is a multi-layered approach utilizing personnel from Traffic and Patrol, who team up alongside drone operators, Aviation, and our Real Time Intelligence Center, to show reckless drivers we mean business. “It doesn’t matter what you’re driving. ATV’s, vehicles, motorcycles, you name it. If you’re operating in a reckless manner, we’re not going to take it anymore…You WILL be targeted, and you’re going to jail!” — Sheriff Carmine Marceno.#SoLongSuperSpeeders#OperationWildWheels#ByeByeBurnouts ...

𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐬 🎰 Earlier this week, deputies were informed of a wanted subject, identified a 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐬 Justin Taveras, who was inside of an arcade on Beau Drive in North Fort Myers. A quick search by deputies found that Taveras had an active warrant for being in possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. When deputies responded to the arcade, Taveras immediately exited the building and fled the area in a vehicle. Deputies attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle, but Taveras accelerated to a high rate of speed. He was then seen pulling into a hotel on North Cleveland Avenue, where he exited the vehicle and ran into the hotel. With the assistance of our k9 deputies, we secured the area and began to search for Taveras throughout the property. Taveras was located hiding in a hallway tucked behind an ice machine. While being detained, deputies located a pill bottle with various forms of narcotics in his possession. Taveras was charged with 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭, 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐣𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐚, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐮𝐠. ...

When deputies were called to a Culver’s in Lee County, Florida, they found a scared 26-year-old autistic man hiding under a table. Instead of treating it like a typical call, our deputies chose compassion—talking with him, showing him the lights on their patrol car, and sharing a meal while they waited for his guardian. This touching moment is a reminder that policing is about more than enforcement—it’s about community, empathy, and care. 💙 #LeeCountySheriff #LCSO #Deputies #AutismAwareness #ActsOfKindness #CommunityPolicing #FloridaSheriff #GoodNews #Heartwarming #SheriffMarceno
