Sleepy suspect
A Seminole County Sheriff’s Office deputy was on nightly patrol on April 28 when they spotted a Honda sitting through a green light at the intersection of Dike Road and Dodd Road in Winter Park. After shining a light on the car, the deputy discovered a man sleeping comfortably at the wheel. The deputy then approached the man, who had bloodshot eyes and smelled strongly of alcohol. He told the officer he wasn’t asleep, but “deep in thought” and said he had two beers. The deputy performed standard Field Sobriety Exercises which the man performed poorly on. He was then placed under arrest and refused to provide breath samples. His car was searched and found to have two cans of beer in it and unprescribed Prednisone, Doxycycline and Cyclobenzaprine. Mcindi Bosquet, 47, of Orlando, was charged with unprescribed possession of Prednisone, Doxycycline and Cyclobenzaprine, driving under the influence and possession of an open container.
False alarm- for the second time
The Altamonte Springs Police Department responded to the Boca Vista Apartments in Altamonte Springs on April 26 after a fire alarm was pulled and an argument between a couple was reported. When police arrived, they found the couple outside and could hear the fire alarm coming from one of the buildings and numerous residents outside. A woman said she pulled the fire alarm to get her phone back from her boyfriend who she claimed hid it after a drunken verbal argument over relationship issues that resulted in him kicking her out of his apartment. Interestingly enough, the officer noted this was the second time the woman had falsely pulled the fire alarm under very similar circumstances. The boyfriend denied hiding her phone and said she had lost it during the argument. While the officer was speaking to her, the woman continuously walked away and ignored the officer’s commands while attempting to walk back to the apartment, at which point the officer arrested her. Nadia Musa Badru, 26, of Orlando, was charged with falsely pulling a fire alarm and resisting an officer without violence.
Keep it undercover
The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office began investigating a man suspected of selling drugs outside of his Casselberry residence in February. Officers began communicating with the man via text, which eventually lead to multiple controlled purchase operations that were undertaken from February to April, with undercover agents recovering cannabis, Xanax and cocaine from the man. He was eventually arrested in Sanford on April 29. Jacob Dil Delgado, 26, of Casselberry, was charged with four counts of distributing cannabis, one count of possessing cocaine, one count of distributing Xanax and using two-way communication to commit a felony.
Green…. armpit
A Seminole County deputy was traveling on Pine Street in Altamonte Springs on April 27 when they spotted a Ford pickup truck. The deputy ran the plate, finding the man inside had an active writ of bodily attachment for child support. The deputy then arrested the man and transported him to the John E. Polk Correctional Facility. While the man was changing clothes at the facility, another deputy noticed a substance falling from the man’s armpit that he kept tensely closed. After further examination, the man was found to have a plastic bag of cannabis stored in his armpit. The man said he typically stores his marijuana in his armpit and honestly forgot that it was there. Mosha Antone Coleman, 44, of Orlando, was charged with smuggling contraband into a county detention facility.
