Police Make Arrest on Felony Battery
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.

St. Augustine Police Department Announce Charges
The St. Augustine Police announced that toxicology results have come back from FDLE
concerning a crash that occurred on the eastside of the Bridge of Lions the night of July 4, 2012. This case could have been much worse, just fifteen minutes before, the fireworks ended and the crowd had dispersed. The only injury in this crash was the driver.
Thersea D. Long was injured in that accident and a blood sample was requested by Traffic Officer Chris Miller with SAPD. That sample was taken to FDLE to be examined for alcohol in Long’s system. The results came back as positive for alcohol 0.125. 0.125 is well above the State of Florida’s legal limit. T. Long has been convicted of multiple counts of Driving Under the Influence since 1983.
The appropriate paperwork has been filed with the State Attorney’s Office at the St. Johns County Courthouse, St. Augustine, Florida.
