Hello Marion County citizens, I’m your Sheriff, Billy Woods. And yes, today Wanted by Woods Wednesday! We are looking for 20-year-old Calvin Denard Epps. He has a warrant for Trespass Upon Grounds of a Public School Facility.

Now, you may have heard of Calvin before…that’s because my Major Crimes Detectives just arrested him for MURDER. A judge gave him a bond, which he posted, and he was released from the Marion County Jail. But it didn’t take him long to get into trouble…yes, I know that you are all shocked. On February 7, he was caught on video trespassing on a local high school’s campus. This is not the type of person who belongs around our children and definitely doesn’t belong free out in our community. So Calvin… do the right thing and turn yourself in.

Citizens, if Calvin doesn’t turn himself in, we’re going to need your help locating him. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please call Crime Stoppers of Marion County at 352-368-STOP and reference 19-10 in your tip. If you use Crime Stoppers and your tip leads to an arrest, you could be eligible for a cash reward!

And as always citizens, thank you for your help and have a great day!

$Marion Rundown (4-25-18) Alright, here’s your weekly rundown!! We’re going to start on what happened Saturday and work our way to today! So here we go: Deputy Galler conducted a vehicle stop on a black Toyota Camry at Maricamp Road and Baseline for a traffic infraction. When conducting a computer check on the vehicle it revealed that the owner had a warrant out of Palm Beach County for assault, resisting without violence and providing a false name to law enforcement. Contact was made with the driver, Arlene Swaby, who is the registered owner and in fact had a warrant. When Arlene was advised of her warrant, she stated she wasn’t going to jail, and rolled up her window, locked her doors, and slowly pulled forward. Well, that isn’t how this works, so additional deputies responded and Deputy Pitts used his assigned patrol vehicle to block Arlene from continuing to pull forward. She was taken into custody and transported to the Gold Star Hotel. Deputy Mitchell responded to a burglary-in-progress call at a home in the 10300 block of Southeast 148th Street. Timothy Bedard was located inside the home hiding in a bathtub. He was found in possession of property belonging to the victim along with a small amount of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Detective Rasnick interviewed Bedard who admitted to the burglary. He was arrested and transported to the Gold Star Hotel. Deputies Larocque and Hahn conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the 13000 block of North Highway 441 for a moving traffic infraction. During the initial encounter deputies smelled the odor of marijuana coming from within the vehicle. A search of the vehicle revealed MDMA (Molly), cocaine, marijuana, and a magazine containing several rounds of 9mm ammunition. During a post-Miranda interview, Jamal Whitaker admitted the items belonged to him. Deputy Larocque conducted a criminal history and confirmed Whitaker was a convicted felon. He was arrested and transported to the Gold Star Hotel. Sgt. Johnson observed a vehicle traveling southbound in the northbound lane at the 9500 block North Highway 441. A traffic stop was conducted and contact was made with driver, Alexander Addison. Computer check on Addison’s license revealed multiple suspensions and it was revoked for driving under the influence. Field sobriety exercises were conducted which Addison failed. He was arrested and transported to the Gold Star Hotel where he blew a .291. Deputy Soucey was sitting in front of the Dollar General located in the 4400 block Northwest Gainesville Road when an unarmed Lowell Correction Officer, who was in uniform, came out of the Dollar General and advised that former inmate Michelle Romaine Ricks had pulled a knife on him inside the store and was chasing him around. Assisting Deputies Kelly and Demarco were able to Ricks locate east of the location in the wood line. She was arrested and transported to the Gold Star Hotel. She will also be violated on her probation. (Her previous arrest was for assaulting a law enforcement officer). There is your Rundown, so please like us and share us on Facebook. We will give you the rundown again Friday! Have a great night!$
