Man arrested in Sarasota home burglary
Published: October 18, 2012


Yuller Martinez

A Hialeah man has been arrested and a second man is being sought after a woman reported her home was broken into this morning, Sarasota County deputies said.

Yuller Martinez, 21, has been charged with being a principle to burglary of an occupied dwelling, deputies said.

According to an affidavit, Amber Neese, 30, called deputies to report someone had broken into her home in the 7100 block of Lago Way about 10:45 a.m. She told the 911 operator she had seen a man ringing the doorbell, and then called her father, who told her no one was expected at the house. She then saw the man looking through the front window, then heard glass breaking from the living room.

Neese ran to the bedroom and pushed a dresser in front of the door, the affidavit said. She later heard noises that sounded like someone trying to enter through a rear sliding glass door.

A deputy arrived at the home and saw a Ford Explorer in the driveway. The deputy then heard banging coming from the rear of the home. The deputy spoke with Martinez, who was in the Ford. Martinez told the deputy he was handing out fliers in the neighborhood and had seen no one, the affidavit said.

Deputies searched the area around the home and found a French door on the side of the home was smashed, but the door couldn't be unlocked. The rear sliding glass door had been removed. There was also a large hole in the fence where someone apparently had fled the backyard.

Deputies ran a check on the Ford and found out it had been rented. The person who rented it said her husband, who is not Martinez, left with the car early today from Hialeah and was supposed to be in Orlando handing out fliers. A backpack with fliers was found in the vehicle.

The renter said she didn't know Martinez or where her husband was. A background check discovered the renter's husband has a criminal history which includes burglary.

The investigation is continuing. Via TBO.com.

Curious why they are not releasing the name of the man who they are looking for, since they must have it. And what kind of fliers were they supposed to be delivering? Can we get some actual reporting here??????

Workshop: Development on West Side of Lake Sarasota 7.18.23

Please share this with your Lake Sarasota neighbors: On Tuesday July 18, an online Neighborhood Workshop will take place. It's about a new proposed set of high-rise condos on the sliver of wooded land between Lake Sarasota and I-75. The developer will be going to the County with a new plan for 208 (or possibly more) dwelling units on  24.5 acres, to be called West Bridge at Lake Sarasota. Access to the land will solely be possible through roads within Lake Sarasota. Two bridges to cross over the creek (which is part of the Phillippi Creek drainage area) will be constructed.  The image below is taken from  the full proposal .

West Bridge meeting summary and next steps

  Dear Neighbors, Thanks to everyone who attended the LSCG meeting on 7/27. The information to be distributed is too much for a post or an email. Please, read the summary of the meeting and the next steps moving forward. If you wish to help or have questions, please email  keithcrusso@gmail.com Thanks. First, an open letter, then more details below. To no one’s surprise, the attendees of the Lake Sarasota Community Group meeting on July 27th unanimously decided to fight the new development proposed by developer Josh Graber and his agents. We are opposed to this type of development, not to the current zoning for single-family dwellings. No number of amenities or concessions offered by the developer in the neighborhood workshop were persuasive to the twenty-thirty people who came or attended via video last night.  The community  wanted me to share this message, too: please, know that this and other developments in the area will affect every one of us, from Molokai to Berkshire, From Jarv

Sarasota Baptist's planned development: Careless? Indifferent? Dangerous?

Update: On Nov. 28, 2023,  despite the absence of any traffic study. the Board of Sarasota County Commissioners voted 4-0 to approve the Sarasota Baptist windfall proposal for 87 unaffordable homes on Hand Road.  Six people from the community offered several reasons that a rational judge would consider to be compelling, but not this Board. This commission reads the Comp Plan not as a set of strategies to prevent poor planning, but rather as a mandate to mindlessly approve growth. From the follow-up story in the Sarasota News Leader : The new homes will increase car trips from 66 to 847 daily on crippled Hand Road.  Commissioner Mark Smith noted Transportation staff had provided a chart in the report on the application showing that the daily number of trips on Hand Road linked to the existing zoning, Open Use Estate, was 66. That figure was attributed to data found in the 11th edition of the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) manual, which the Transportation staff uses as its prima
