I read on an unmentioned site the manager recognized the robber. I wonder if the crook had previously worked at the country club.

It isn't the first time that a country club south of 466A has been robbed in the middle of the night. Last time it was employees, too.

I suppose news at noon will give an update too.

It’s irritating enough just listening to the helicopters for hours, I can’t imagine how p***ed off the evacuated residents must be!

[pklein9747]

Just came North on Morse from 44 and when I got the Moyer Loop roundabout here comes The Villages Trolley Tour. I can only imagine the narrative..."On the left is our Belle Glade Country Club...Isn't it beautiful? Don't mind all the police presence. It was robbed last night, but we don't like to talk about that". "And on the right is the Village of LaBelle where the suspect is barred in a home. Again, not an everyday occurrence." Now straight ahead...look at all the beautiful landscaping...." :)

[graciegirl]

Caught him in a cow pasture, after the swat team used a battering ram to crash out the front window of the home in North Labelle (That had a butterfly motif on the driveway). He ran for a white SUV for which he apparently had keys and took off with a bunch of officers chasing him. Took at least three officers to pull him out of the car. Said he didn't want to go back to jail.

Now that is quite amusing.


Looks like they probably got the man who caused all this after quite a OJ Simpson like chase across fields with various helicopters hovering. You see shadows of media and perhaps law enforcement helicopters. WESH had quite a lot of coverage it seemed.

[graciegirl]

Someone asked the police officer if the perp's name was Brian Davis. He didn't say yes or no. He is a young white man whose future is looking mighty DIM. So much easier to work for a living.

Thanks for the video Tal. I think he may have received a short pour at the bar last night. What a worm. Good job to The Officers, I hope they didn’t hurt him yanking him from the car.

[New Englander]

Was he living with a woman in TV and how old is this loser?

[Chi33]

How did he get from the house to the SUV? I thought SWAT was there and everything was blocked off. Something doesn't add up to me. Maybe it is simple but I seem to be missing something. I do have to say I liked the takedown at the end, they weren't playing and they sent out a cheaper car to turn around the bad guy.

It sounded like it was in the garage of the house he fled to???

[NotGolfer]

Well that was a bit of excitement! What a waste....not wanting to go back to jail? How's that working for him now?? Pretty exciting police-chase that ends up not so good for the perp.

Then to the news update (or whatever it's called) and the stupid questions they asked. Two asked the same question (didn't you learn to listen folks?) PLUS the officer isn't going to offer up the details you're fishing for as they will let you know, as needed.

Lived here for 6 years and just lurked around. Graciegirl, you are the funniest person I see on here. Although, there are a lot of great comments.:BigApplause:

[paminix]

Also, grateful everyone is safe.

[Chi-Town]

An exciting white SUV chase. Much better than O.J.'s. Anyhow, won't be long until Live PD heads our way.

Chase through field ends in arrest of armed robbery suspect - News - Daily Commercial - Leesburg, FL (http://www.dailycommercial.com/news/20180710/chase-through-field-ends-in-arrest-of-armed-robbery-suspect)

33 year old with two strikes against him already. The other strikes are mentioned in another article. WATCH: Gunman leads deputies on wild chase through The Villages (https://www.clickorlando.com/news/watch-suspect-leads-florida-deputies-on-chase-through-backyards-gates-fields)

According to Florida Department of Corrections records, Davis was sentenced in 2011 to one year in jail for grand theft, burglary and driving with a suspended license. He was arrested in 2016 for allegedly violating his probation and a moving traffic violation, and last year on battery and disorderly intoxication charges, records show.

He backed THROUGH the garage door and took off.

I got an alert on my phone that said "high speed chase, with gunfire..."
OMG, how fast are these golf carts going now???

Seriously, just glad everyone safe.

[patfla06]

He stated he didn’t want to go back to jail.

So why did you commit an armed robbery?

Consequences.....I guess it’s a new concept! :oops:

[N44125]

Has anyone mapped out the ‘escape route’ from the home...sounds like he covered a lot of territory...but not sure how he got from start to finish.

3.5 miles. Not much to it.

[Sgroemm]

My question is "why are they hiring repeat offenders at our country clubs?" I am all for giving first time offenders a second chance and the opportunity to earn an honest living, but the suspect in question seems to have numerous offenses listed in the media accounts....don't those hiring do background checks anymore?

[Taltarzac725]

There is a map of his 6 mile "escape route" in the Local section of The Villages Daily Sun today on page C1. Must have been quite a shock to hear all that commotion of the sirens and helicopters for other drivers on 466a.

[leftyf]

How did he buy a gun? He is a convicted felon who is banned from owning a gun.

Private sale/gun-show loophole.

No background check required.

I hope the punishment fits the crime. He needs a good long prison sentence. I feel sorry for his children.

[Chi33]

He seemed to flip about a year and a half ago when his girlfriend who was the mother of his children dead when her car hit a tree.

[New Englander]

I read that three of the tires were shredded.

[NotGolfer]

I'm wondering who pays for ALL the damages....to the house, to the vehicle (since it wasn't his), the gates and fences??!!

Addiction is a horrible thing for anyone. This guy has struggled with it for awhile it seems AND it's affected his life and those around him in horrific ways. NOT saying it excuses him in any sense as it doesn't. Wish he'd find the help he truly needs to address his demons.

I think that a convicted felon should be allowed to work, but not as a waiter in a restaurant dealing with the public. Apparently, this is just fine with the owners of our country clubs. This policy should be changed. Or, they should at least notify customers that they hire convicted felons as waiters. I am typically a skeptic, but I had no idea that restaurants in The Villages didn't check the criminal records of their employees or screen them.

1. But not as a waiter. Why?

2. Notify customers of convicted felon. Sorry. Laughable.

A criminal broke the law by purchasing a handgun...very surprising!

[retiredguy123]

1. But not as a waiter. Why?

2. Notify customers of convicted felon. Sorry. Laughable.
So, why do millions of employers do background checks on job applicants? The Villages doesn't even hire people who test positive for drugs. Are you saying that the country clubs should just hire anyone who shows up? This guy has more than 20 felony convictions.

[DeanFL]

Phyllis happened to be flipping thru channels yesterday about 5pm - she yelled "get over here!" (first thought...what did I do NOW?) But on TV was they perp talking to a reporter with camera thru glass apparently at jail. His face was scratched and she asked him some questions - he said something like he didn't mean "no harm", and some other self-serving quick answers. Apparently he did not answer any pointed questions re his violence etc etc.

My question - What ever happened to the ONE PHONE CALL stuff??? Is this yet another 'criminal rights' crap? He could have killed a citizen during the chase let alone the assault on the BG manager. We all pay for the police et al during his standoff, damage - and now (hopefully) 10-20 years of prison.

Sure innocent till proven guilty, but c'mon...

I saw that too. Just a reporter trying to get a scoop. Not much new there.

They charged Brian Davis with a lot more felonies as listed in The Villages Daily Sun today.

[Chatbrat]

The perp is now retired, he's got the following a health plan , room & board--most likely he'll serve a minimum of 25 years state time and a felon having a weapon/ammo--is a federal crime

So, The girlfriend is a druggie with a criminal record living in her parent's house in TV, is married to another man (not the subject felon), keeps hard drug paraphernalia stashed in her bedroom in her parents' house...what a mess.

That does seem to be going into a Scarlet Letter public shaming kind of approach which is ugly.

All the info and photos in the V-News article were made fully public by the owners themselves. That's the biggest takeaway for me here, not that an online site used them.

[manaboutown]

The article simply stated facts without innuendos.

Mostly, I feel for the neighbors who deserve "quiet enjoyment" of their premises. I wonder if they realized an "underage" married-with-a-boyfriend-having-a-criminal-history, hard (heroin using?) druggie with a criminal history herself, was living in her parent's home in their retirement community, stashing her drug paraphernalia in the bedroom?

[Chatbrat]

Yes he worked at clubs owned by the same employer

...how the judge came up with $113,000...for the bond? :confused:


Which is up from the original bond of... $75,500. :oops:


I have to admit to being befuddled, on trying to determine what criteria these oddball amounts...are derived?


With the real kicker being, it seems that he was due to appear in court this week in Sumter County (while out on a bond of $15,000)...for physically attacking his mother at Christmas. :22yikes:
