CHARGES DROPPED, CASE CLOSED!

In keeping with our policy of reporting fair,accurate, truthful and verified information,we submit the following comment.
  Within the past two months, we have posted two reports on law enforcement activity at a residence at 14531 Pebble Beach Dr, These reports were in regard to FDLE executing a search warrant and the subsequent arrest of a resident. 
  After the filing of 10 felony charges,the state abruptly returned a ''no information notice'' on November 25. This action drops all charges and the case was closed.
 As we stated in our first post on this matter---''In our judicial system, all defendants are presumed innocent, until proven guilty in a court of law''

COULD IT BE?

Our community continues to be blessed with a ''NO LOST PROPERTY REPORT'' status. The last lost property report filed with the Sheriff's office was on February 9 of this year.At this time last year we were having multiple auto and house burglaries.---Why the change?
  The answer could possibly be related to some information in the Orange County Jail data base.In the past criminal history of the Fairways ,there has been a ''person of interest '' surface numerous times. [see copy below]

FAIRWAYS RESIDENT CONVICTED BY A FEDERAL JURY

FAIRWAYS RESIDENT FOUND GUILTY IN FEDERAL COURT!
This is an update, related to two previous posts on the same individual and offense.---[see the earlier posts for complete details]

In early July a Fairways [non- owner] resident was arrested by the Orange county Sheriff's Office, for shining a laser at a Sheriff helicopter. The 31 year old man was identified as Joseph Parrott of 1704 Kings Mill Dr. Originally ,Parrott was charged with a felony by the state of Florida. Later on,he was taken in from Kings Mill Dr. by the FBI and US Marshals service, and charged with a federal felony statute.
  On a WFTV channel 9---5 PM news segment, November 18, it was announced that Parrott was convicted by a federal jury and ''could be sentenced, up to 5 years in federal prison''
  Fairways Watch called Channel 9 and confirmed the report. Results of Federal cases are not readily available to the public.-----NOW---Comes the same---- OLD QUESTION---HOW IN THE HELL DID HE GET IN HERE TO START WITH?----FOLKS, I CAN ONLY SAY--- GO BACK TO MY EARLIER POST TITLED UNDER THE RADAR!

                ADDITIONAL UPDATED INFORMATION

Orange County Sheriff's Office, Florida

8 hrs · 

Authorities proved that Parrott, a passenger in the car, knowingly aimed the laser beam at the helicopter at least four times,"
Having a laser pointed at an aircraft is one of the most dangerous situations that pilots can encounter.
Parrott's sentencing is scheduled for February 2nd, 2015.

SERIOUS VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN THE FAIRWAYS

     FREAK ACCIDENT SERIOUSLY INJURES RESIDENT !

At approximately 9:15 AM  Monday, Fairways Watch received a call from one of our block captain spotters. EMS and police vehicles were at an address on Kings Mills Dr. A check of the EMS web site and OCSO site ,showed dispatches to 1758 Kings Mill, for a vehicle accident. Fairways watch went to the scene and found a damaged Jeep SUV and a Florida Highway Patrolman---- Trooper Reyes.
   The trooper was filling out a report on the accident described as follows. ----A 64 year old male resident pulled into park at 1758 Kings Mill. The resident neglected to put the transmission into the park position, before leaving the Jeep.---The vehicle started moving, unattended ,down Kings Mill. In attempt to stop the vehicle, the resident, tried to open the door and bring the car to a halt. The car,----out of control,ended up against a tree at 1788 Kings Mill.---. This left the resident pinned between the door and the tree.
 EMS transported the accident victim to the hospital. Trooper Reyes said that the resident was seriously injured---but the injuries did not appear to be life threatening.
  FOLKS---WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM THIS!------TAKE TIME TO SLOW DOWN AND THINK!
  This is the second such accident within recent memory in our community. Several years ago ,a resident, on Carnoustie Ct. critically injured himself in a similar mishap.----Sadly that accident ended with the death of that victim.

MEET THE NEW CAPTAIN!

 As reported previously East Orange County has a new Sector 2 commander. Captain Stephen Garrison is the successor to Captain Brett Meade.Captain Garrison accepted his new position at the First of September. I had the pleasure to first meet Captain Garrison at Captain Meade,s retirement party on September 12.

Captain Garrison,s law enforcement resume can best be summed up in a few words---''BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT'' His career ,as an officer spans over 20 years.He did it the hard way--working his way up through the ranks. The new Captain has served the Sheriff's office as a cyber detective, SWAT team member, dive team officer, economic crimes detective,and even worked the agricultural division [air boats and gators]--- The above information was found in the Linkedin website.

I was recently contacted by Captain Garrison, asking to                     meet with Fairways Watch, out here in the Fairway needless to say,I was flattered by his request.

On the morning of November 14, I met with Captain Garrison, at the Masters club house. At the Captains request, we were joined by his ''special projects'' officer Jason Murrill.

We had a great productive  meeting, covering many subjects and problems, that are pertinent to our area.

 I have made reference to Deputy Murrill several times at our HOA meetings. I thought that it was appropriate to have a picture of him for the residents.---YES-- Jason is as big as he looks.Deputy Murrill has done a number of things, behind the scenes for ALL of us in the Fairways.---A word to the wise ---DON'T MESS WITH JASON!

Captain Garrison has expressed a desire to continue the good work of his predecessors, in the Fairways. I believe that he can help educate all of us at our next security and safety seminar.

As I have said before,numerous times ---YES--- The Fairways, sure has it's problems, in many areas--BUT-- We are blessed with some of the finest safety forces anywhere in the country.--- Our station 80 and 82 EMS folks and  the folks at Sector 2 are the best!

ANOTHER LOCAL SCAM THAT YOU SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF!

THE FOLLOWING IS A REPRINT FROM THE OFFICIAL ORANGE COUNTY CLERK OF COURTS WEB SITE.

Scam Alert
New Scam Uses Email to Target Citizens
 The latest in a string of scams targeting Florida residents now includes
 individuals claiming to be from Clerks’ offices sending menacing
 emails in an attempt to steal personal information.
 The fraudulent emails are being sent to citizens purportedly from
 Clerks’ offices across the state. The emails reference missed jury duty or
 court appearances and attempt to retrieve personal data by computer
 virus attached as a .zip file. These malicious attachments contain a
 “Trojan Horse” virus that becomes active as soon as the file is unzipped.
Clerk of Courts Eddie Fernández reminds residents that official court communications
are sent through standard mail. Jury summons and failure to appear notices are not
communicated via phone or email.
The Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers have compiled a list of important tips to
remember regarding court services:
• The Clerk’s Office does not call or email residents to request payment for missing jury
 duty. The Office will also never request payment via any sort of prepaid debit card.
• The Clerk’s Office does not call or email residents to verify information related to jury
 duty. Communications are only sent by mail.
• If a resident misses jury duty, the individual receives a failure to appear notice in the
 mail from the judge representing his or her Circuit Court.
• Arrest warrants are not usually issued for failure to report for jury duty. Please contact
 the Clerk’s Office if you receive one.
• Do not open an email attachment from any unfamiliar source, and never provide
 personal information to an unfamiliar source, either by phone or email.
If you receive a call or email that you suspect is related to this scam, contact Orange
County Jury Services at 407-836-2206 or in Osceola County, 407-742-2421.

DON'T GET ''SCREWED''

EVERY ONE SHOULD READ THE ARTICLE TITLED ''HOME IMPROVEMENT'', IN THE CURRENT EDITION OF THE FAIRWAYS EAGLE !

An article ,written by resident David Halprin, [page 6] has a strong message for Fairways home owners. The article is extremely well written and further substantiates similar complaints made earlier against a''mobile home contractor''. [Easy Solutions Co]
  Not only does the writer relate his frustrating experience with the contractor,---he goes on with an excellent narrative of the solving of his ''under the house'' problems.---It is a valuable lesson for all of us.
  It should be noted that the Eagle no longer accepts advertisement inserts from ''Easy Solutions''
 Our community has many needs---but---none more important than communication between the HOME OWNERS--note-- reference was only made to home owners, not renters or ''guests''--We home owners have lanes of communication, open to us.---We can write good informative articles for the Eagle,--- send comments to this blog, or other digital venues that are posted on the mail drop bulletin board.---- THEN-- go to home owners meetings!
  If a home owner has had an experience ,with a contractor---share the venture, good or bad, so we can all profit from it.---We have some good contractors available to us and some----READ THE ARTICLE !
 Lets get our problems and voices out there!
