DESOTO CO, Fla. — A man is in custody after a multi-county investigation into the theft of a $98,000 Takeuchi Skid Steer.
DeSoto, Highlands and Hendry County deputies tracked the stolen equipment to a truck. They attempted to pull the driver over on June 9, according to the DeSoto County Sheriff's Office (DCSO).
DCSO said Yam Perera Nunez, led police on a high-speed chase down Highway 70 but was eventually apprehended.
Authorities said the truck Nunez was driving was also reported stolen. They also said Nunez is tied to multiple heavy equipment thefts across Florida.
He faces charges of eluding and resisting police.
“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.
