A third suspect was arrested last Thursday for involvement in the shoot-out with a Boca Raton police officer.
19-year old Robert Alvarez of Greenacres, Florida was the driver of the green Jeep pulled over by Officer Shannon Wendlick on June 8th. Officials said that as Wendlick approached the Jeep, Alvarez began to back up the vehicle and forcing the officer to move out of the way. A second suspect, 17-year old Ramon Rosario, then exited the vehicle with a gun and pointed it at Wendlick, who then shot Rosario three times in self-defense.
Rosario and another accomplice, Angel Machado, were arrested before Alvarez. Rosario had bail set at $310,000 last week. A Palm Beach County judge ordered Alvarez to be held on charges of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and conspiracy to commit armed robbery without bail.

A South Florida doctor was charged last month for improperly supplying thousands of prescription drugs to people in Kentucky.
According to patients, Shook performed little or no examination before giving them prescriptions, which he advised them not to take to large pharmacies.
Boyd county police officers searched Dr. Michael R. Shook’s office in Lauderhill Medical Clinic in Oakland Park, Florida and found 1,400 patient files of people with addresses in eastern Kentucky.

What began as a robbery charge against a Fort Lauderdale man has escalated to a murder charge after his suspected accomplice was struck and killed by a truck. Eddie Cooper, 23, had allegedly been breaking into cars at a movie theater parking lot Thursday night in Boca Raton with his accomplice Earl Storey, 27. The police started chasing the pair when they sideswiped a police cruiser. Officers used tire deflation strips to stop them. That’s when Storey got out of the car and ran across the street where he was struck by an AT&T service truck. He died on the scene.
Now Cooper is charged with Storey’s murder as well as robbery (second-degree felony murder) as well as aggravated assault on police, fleeing from police and burglary. He was held without bond. A felony murder allows prosecutors to charge Cooper with murder because his alleged accomplice was taking part in a crime when he died. It doesn’t matter if Cooper did not have direct involvement in the killing.

According to the Palm Beach Post News, a resident of Boca Raton is suing an alleged real estate broker for running a Ponzi scheme that defrauded 83 investors of $1.8 million.
The fraudulent broker was arrested Wednesday and remained in jail Thursday after the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office charged her with aggravated white-collar crime; organized scheme to defraud greater than $50,000; 23 counts of grand theft over $20,000; three counts of grand theft over $100,000; 30 counts of grand theft; and money laundering.
Investors claim that the fraudulent broker was extraordinarily convincing, largely due to her heavy emphasis on Christianity.
Her daughter attests to her faith, stating that “[my mother] is someone who has never missed church on Sunday. This is a huge blow.”
According to authorities, the phony broker used hundreds of thousands of dollars to operate the Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History—a store located in the Boynton Beach Mall.
