We have been here since 2005 and the various newspapers have reported maybe one murder involving a daughter of Villagers getting involved with drug dealers in Ocala. They invaded the Villagers home and killed the woman. And a few domestic violence cases that ended in murder/suicide.
There have been various employees stealing from their employers. Various golf cart thefts and a few burglaries. What was a chase after maybe a robbery of a country club restaurant. They got out helicopters. They being the media and maybe the police?
Caretakers stealing from their patients, etc. Maybe some criminal negligence in some nursing facilities, etc.
There was a standoff with a man with guns who had argued with his wife and created a barricade or something like that last year. SWAT came in.
Lots of golf cart gates having their pole knocked down. And some cars doing it for their gate poles.
A few meth labs being shut down.
Quite a lot of shoplifting I suppose.
A few bar fights and something recently that involved a shooting and a death but not sure what happened there.
Road rage instances in and near the Villages.
A number of car chases after people who fled from arrest. Seem to remember a number of these but they were often just outside the Villages.
A woman jumped off the golf cart bridge over 441/27 and was soon hit by traffic.
Melinda Duckett committed suicide after being harassed by the media over the disappearance of her son Trenton. The case is still open on what happened to Trenton.
Probably a typical week's worth of crime in NYC, Chicago, Miami, Orlando and DC has happened here in the Villages over the past eighteen years. We came in June of 2005.
