    Ocala — A man was arrested after he struck a woman in the face with a closed fist.

    Ocala police responded to Wood Springs Suites Tuesday after a caller reported a domestic disturbance.

    Upon arrival, the suspect, identified as Robert Eubanks, 37, was attempting to flee the scene, at which time he was detained for questioning.

    According to the arrest affidavit, Eubanks had accused his girlfriend of losing his cell phone and punched her in the eye.

    Police stated that there was visible swelling to the victim’s face.

    Initially, the victim, who was hysterically crying, told police she did not want to talk about the incident. Later, when Eubanks was taken to the hospital for injuries sustained to his face in an unrelated fight, she told police that Eubanks had, in fact, punched her.

    Eubanks denied the allegations and refused to cooperate with police. However, a witness told police that Eubanks had bragged about punching his girlfriend in the face for losing the cell phone.

    Eubanks was arrested and charged with Domestic Battery. His next court appearance is slated for February 14.

    The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a recreational vehicle traffic crash that occurred at approximately 4 a.m., Wednesday.

    According to a Marion County Fire Rescue press release, the accident took place in the 13000 block of Southeast 47th Avenue, Belleview, near the Tropical Manner Subdivision

    MCFR Belleview Station 18 was the first to arrive on the scene, followed by R518, L30, DC3, T16, and A103.

    When units arrived, firefighters found a 30’ Class A Motorhome engulfed in flames.

    The flames had also impinged on the overhead power lines, which caused them to snap. Due to the arcing power lines, firefighters could not use water to extinguish the fire. Instead, they used foam.

    Crews completed a search of the vehicle and did not find anyone inside.

    Neighbors reported that the driver left the scene in a pickup truck.

    The cause of the accident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.

    Move over or be ticketed

    Move over or be ticketed

    fhp, move over, ocala news, ocala post

    Tallahassee – January is Move Over awareness month and the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) urges all motorists to move over for emergency and service vehicles stopped along the roadway.

    Preliminarily in 2018, there were 231 crashes and almost 17,000 citations issued for motorists failing to move over.

    DHSMV and the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) are partnering with the Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Police Chiefs Association, Florida Sheriffs Association, and AAA – The Auto Club Group to ensure all law enforcement, first responders, service and utility workers, and Road Rangers Arrive Alive in 2019.

    “When a crash occurs, law enforcement and first responders are there. When a disabled vehicle needs assistance, Road Rangers or tow truck drivers are there. When power lines need repairs, utility and service workers are there,” said DHSMV Executive Director, Terry L. Rhodes. “The Move Over Law is in place to protect those who serve all of us on the roadways, giving them a safe space to do their jobs. Move Over, Florida, and help ensure that these public servants come home safely each day.”

    The Move Over Law was added to section 316.126, Florida Statutes, in 2002. The statute, which was originally introduced in 1971, requires motorists to move or yield the right-of-way to emergency vehicles and in 2014, utility and sanitation vehicles were added to the Move Over Law. The Move Over Law states that drivers must move over as soon as it is safe to do so for any authorized law enforcement, emergency or service vehicles displaying any visible signals while stopped on the roadside, including Road Rangers, sanitation vehicles and tow trucks.

    “Troopers, first responders and utility workers put their lives on the line every day on our roadways,” said Colonel Gene S. Spaulding, Director of the Florida Highway Patrol. “Protect the men and women that answer the call for service in Florida and Move Over, so they can return home to their families.”

    When motorists cannot vacate the lane closest to the emergency or service vehicle, they must slow to a speed that is 20 miles per hour less than the posted speed limit. Failure to yield or move over puts law enforcement officers, emergency first responders, and public service workers in danger while they are on the job protecting and serving the citizens and visitors of Florida.

    Florida Department of Transportation Interim Secretary Erik R. Fenniman said, “The Department’s Road Rangers provide important assistance to motorists, lessen delays and support the Florida Highway Patrol on Florida’s roadways. We want each of our Road Rangers, and all responders, to remain safe while maintaining Florida roads and encourage all drivers to Move Over for service and emergency vehicles.”

    “Police chiefs around the state of Florida work hard to ensure that their officers return home safely at the end of each shift. However, the Florida Police Chiefs Association (FPCA) knows that we can’t do it alone. Law enforcement needs our citizens to help to ensure the safety of each and every officer and first responder out on our roadways,” said FPCA President and Florida State University Police Chief David Perry. “The FPCA reminds you to always slow down and move over so that law enforcement can quickly and safely assist Florida’s drivers so they can return home to their loved ones.”

    “Our deputy sheriffs, along with other first responders, willingly place themselves in harm’s way daily to proudly protect the citizens we serve. Our Florida sheriffs fully support the ‘Move Over, Florida!’ campaign to protect those who protect us,” said Sheriff Mark Hunter, President of the Florida Sheriffs Association.

    “This law is in place to protect the ones who protect us,” said Matt Nasworthy, Florida Public Affairs Director, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Not focusing on the road puts your life and others at risk. To help ensure everyone’s safety, drivers should also move over if a motorist is stranded on the side of the road.”

    To comply with the Move Over Law drivers must:

    Multi-Lane Roadway

    • Vacate the lane closest to the stationary emergency vehicle, sanitation vehicle, utility service vehicle, Road Ranger or wrecker and always signal the intention to change lanes.
    • Slow down to a speed of 20 mph below the posted speed limit if a driver cannot move over safely.
    • Be prepared to allow those who are attempting to move over into the next lane.

    Two-Lane Roadway

    • Slow down to a speed of 20 mph below the posted speed limit.
    • Travel at 5 mph if the speed limit is 20 mph or less.

    The public is encouraged to report aggressive drivers by dialing *FHP (*347).

    OPD: Death of Chewy employee believed to have been caused by medical emergency

    chewy, ocala news, ocala post, robert pete
    Robert Pete [Submitted Photo]
    A Chewy employee, Robert Pete, 49, who died while operating a stand-up forklift, may have died from a heart attack.

    A report released by the Ocala Police Department states that “pending final determination from the Medical Examiner, this appears to have been a medical emergency. Initial review of the case suggests that [Robert] may have had a heart attack.”

    Ocala Police was dispatched to the Chewy distribution center, located at 3380 NW 35th AVE Road after a forklift incident was reported.

    Ocala Fire Rescue was already on the scene when officers arrived.

    Employees stated that they were going on break when they noticed Pete unresponsive on his forklift, at which time they began screaming for help.

    The report states that Pete was “pinned between the forklift and a shelf beam.”

    Chewy employee Theodore Riffle told police that he used Pete’s ID card to activate and move the forklift so he and Chewy supervisors Nancy Jenkins and Jason Nolan could administer CPR.

    While doing CPR, employee Brian Peterson arrived with a one-way valve mask and took over CPR until medics arrived.

    As medics worked on Pete, police interviewed Chewy employees.

    According to Joshua Rose, head of safety for Chewy, the forklifts automatically shut down upon impact with any object. Rose said they can only be reactivated by an employee ID card.

    Rose told police that Pete activated his forklift at 1211 hours and that it was reactivated at 1236 hours by Riffle, which confirmed what Riffle had told police.

    Despite all lifesaving efforts, Pete was pronounced dead at 1:08 p.m. Sunday, at Ocala Regional Medical Center.

    Investigators said that they do not suspect foul play and that there was no physical trauma to Pete’s body.

    OSHA is currently conducting its own investigation.

    Jealous rage lead man to kill ex-wife’s partner, 911 calls released

    On December 13, 2018, at approximately 9:14 am, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office received a call in reference to a shooting in the parking lot of the Quality Inn, located at 350 E Norvell Bryant Highway, Hernando, FL.

    Upon arrival, deputies located a white, older male laying on the ground.  Emergency Medical Services were dispatched; however, deputies pronounced the victim, 64-year-old Michael Quirello of Hernando, dead at the scene

    The suspect has been identified as 70-year-old white male, Salvatore Tirone, out of Broward County, Florida.

    According to investigators, the shooting was the result of a jealous ex-husband who drove to Citrus County with the intent of killing his ex-wife’s new partner.

    During the shooting, a bystander attempted to intervene in this incident by making contact with Tirone.

    After grabbing his own firearm, 58-year-old Shane Arline of Inverness chased after Tirone in an attempt to stop the fleeing murder suspect.

    Tirone began running back towards his black Mercedes SUV, parked on East Atlantic Street, which is located just behind the Quality Inn.  As Tirone was entering his vehicle in an attempt to flee, he turned toward Arline with his gun still in his hand at which time Arline shot at Tirone.

    Tirone exited the vehicle and then returned fire before speeding off.

    Witnesses at the scene were able to give deputies a description of the vehicle, which was subsequently spotted by another CCSO Patrol Unit.

    A traffic stop was attempted on the suspect vehicle on Hwy 44, as it approached the Sumter County line.

    Once in Sumter County, the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Highway Patrol, and the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the pursuit of the suspect vehicle.

    The suspect vehicle evaded the deployment of tire deflation devices at several locations in Sumter County.

    The vehicle began to travel south on Interstate 75, where Tirone eventually lost control of the SUV and crashed.

    As law enforcement approached the vehicle, Tirone fired upon the officers.

    Law enforcement officers then returned fire.

    Tirone was pronounced dead at the scene.

    “We are working diligently to investigate this unfortunate incident. Thankfully, it is an
    isolated incident and all parties have been identified. There is no further threat to the
    residents of our community and none of our deputies or innocent bystanders were
    injured,” said Sheriff Prendergast. “We greatly appreciate all the assistance provided to
    us by both the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Highway Patrol, in
    stopping this armed, dangerous murder suspect. The courage of the good Samaritan
    likely saved lives today.”

    Deltona – A 19-year-old Deltona woman was carjacked in her driveway just before midnight Wednesday when two males pointed guns at her and demanded her vehicle.

    The victim was returning from work in the 3000 block of Sanborn Lane, Deltona.  She was sitting in the vehicle when the two males approached and asked if she would help jump-start their vehicle.

    She declined, at which time the males pulled out their weapons and demanded that she get out of the car, which she did.

    The suspects then fled the area, along with a third male who the victim saw walking on Sanborn Lane.

    The stolen vehicle is a 2002 white, 4-door Ford Escort with Florida tag JELH76. It has a Michigan State college tag on the front.

    Anyone with information about this crime or if you see the vehicle is asked to call 911. To remain anonymous, contact West Volusia Crime Stoppers at www.northeastflorida.crimestoppersweb.com, or call 1-888-277-8477 (TIPS). You could be eligible for a cash reward.
