Around 2:20 p.m. on Friday (September 16, 2022), deputies responded to the McDonald’s at 4851 Belle Terre Parkway after receiving confirmation that a stolen vehicle had been located in the drive-thru line of the restaurant. The driver of that vehicle and two other people inside the stolen car spotted deputies as they were setting-up a perimeter and deploying stopsticks around the restaurant. They drove out of the line and over a curb to flee south on Belle Terre, ignoring commands to stop.
The vehicle went north on Pine Lakes Parkway and then onto Wellwood Drive, where it was abandoned in a driveway. FCSO issued a Community Alert shortly afterward and a deputy soon located three people – including two juveniles – matching the descriptions of the suspects that had been inside the stolen vehicle walking near the intersection of Pine Lakes Parkway and Wellwood Drive. They were immediately detained and arrested on the following charges:
- Gary Robinson Jr.: Fleeing and eluding, grand theft auto, resisting without violence, providing false name to law enforcement and multiple active out of county fugitive warrants
- Xavier Simon (photo above): Felony violation of probation, grand theft auto, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by convicted felon, resisting without, providing false name to law enforcement
- Franquez Bellamy: Grand theft auto and resisting without violence

FCSO responded to 156 Florida Park Drive around 3:15 p.m. Friday (September 16, 2022) after receiving multiple calls about a man standing in the middle of the road punching vehicles and trying to fight another man on a motorcycle.
Deputies were forced to deploy their Tasers to control the man – since identified as Maurice Charles Benson Henry – after he refused to comply with deputies and ignored their attempts to de-escalate the situation. Henry also refused to identify himself and was eventually charged with battery on a law enforcement officer after he spit in a deputy’s face while being processed at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility.
