Law and Courts

Deputies with the Levy County Sheriff's Office and other officers recently arrested the following people. Suspects are presumed innocent until they are proved guilty in a court of law.

* Richard Z. Horne, 63, of Chiefland was arrested March 27 for aggravated assault and resisting arrest without violence. Bond 32,000.

* Ronald W. Knea, 51, of Williston was arrested March 28 on Duval County warrants for two counts of grand theft, and theft from a person older than 65 years old. No bond.

A traffic stop conducted by Levy County Sheriffs Deputy Jimmy Anderson on a 2007 Saturn reported stolen from Alachua County resulted in an arrest.

Marcus Daine Bolden, 28, of Brunswick, Ga., was arrested for grand theft auto when Anderson stopped him just after midnight on March 27.

A search of Bolden uncovered a small plastic bag with marijuana in it, Anderson said. Then the deputy found 31 pieces of crack cocaine in a white pill bottle.

Eighth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Bill Cervone said on March 14 that his office would not prosecute Bob Levesque for check fraud in regard to an instance four months ago.

Levesque was the president of the Levy County Fair Association when he wrote a $2,000 check on the association's account to cover a payment due to Robinson's Racing Pigs. He wrote the check on Nov. 13, 2007, according to the victims.

Restitution was made to pig owners Randall and Sharon Ross of Fort White, Cervone said.

The Williston Police Dept. announced the following arrests:

Marty Eugene Days Sr., 44, of Williston Arms Drive, was charged by officer Michael Bracaglia with felony domestic battery after Days allegedly punched a female victim in the eye.

William Joseph Schafer, 48, of Southeast 179th Place, and Andrea Lynn Phillips, 23, of the same address, were arrested at Williston Arms and charged with felony possession of drug paraphernalia after being found in a car parked at that location.
