DESOTO COUNTY, Fla. — Florida deputies arrested a man who is accused of kidnapping two children in Georgia on Wednesday.
The DeSoto County Sheriff's Office said on Nov. 27, deputies intercepted a stolen vehicle tied to a BOLO (be on the lookout) alert out of Henry County for the kidnapped 4-year-olds.
Deputies spotted the vehicle on Highway 17 and attempted a traffic stop. Officials said the driver, Jerome Ralph Garvin, refused to comply, which led to a pursuit before he abandoned the moving vehicle with the kids still inside.
Deputies and the Arcadia Police Department then tracked him down, and he was apprehended. The two children were rescued safely by officials.
Garvin is facing charges of kidnapping/child neglect, grand theft of a motor vehicle, resisting arrest and more.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
