In Sarasota, on June 22, 2024, Sarasota Police officers captured an armed juvenile near Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Dixie Avenue during a Juneteenth event. The officers, aided by the Drone Unit, saw the teens with ski masks and suspected one was armed. They stopped the group, and when one teen fled, a Taser was used to stop him. The 15-year-old boy was arrested, and a loaded .40 caliber firearm was found in his possession, stolen from a vehicle in 2021. The suspect is facing multiple charges including possession of a firearm, resisting arrest, and violating probation. Chief Rex Troche commended the officers for preventing a potential tragedy and emphasized the importance of keeping the community safe. The Sarasota Police Department asks the public to report any information about stolen firearms or juvenile weapon possession by contacting them or Crime Stoppers.
