Juvenile Arrest
Oct 14th
On 10/06/2012 at 9pm a 14 year old was on St. George Street with his friend when another group of juveniles approached them. A 17 year old in the second group took a cap from the 14 year and ran down St. George St. away from the victim.
A short time later the 14 year old and his friend saw the group of other juveniles that took his cap. He approached them and asked for his cap back, even offering to buy it back.
The 17 year old counted to three and struck the 14 year old on the jaw, causing him to lose consciousness. Officer Bryan Johnson arrived on scene and started to render aid to the 14 year old and attempted to locate anyone in the crowd that may have observed the incident.
The 14 year old was taken to the hospital and was found to have a broken jaw that required reconstructive surgery.
The following Monday Detective Corporeal Charles Simpson continued the investigation and started interviewing witnesses. The witnesses were able to point Cpl. Simpson to a possible suspect. After initially denying involvement, the suspect came to the police department with his parents and admitted striking the victim, but not taking his cap.
Cpl. Simpson contacted the on-call Department of Juvenile Justice Officer, and then transported the 17 year old to the St. Johns County Jail for processing. The 17 year was later released to his parents.
