Last week, a Boca Raton man was arrested and charged with aggravated domestic battery and violation of an injunction for domestic violence.
The man, 34-year old Zaheer Ali, followed and attacked his estranged wife after noticing that she had accepted an ex-boyfriend as a friend on the social networking site Facebook. Ali went to their daughter’s school, Banyan Creek Elementary in Delray Beach, when his wife was supposed to be picking the girl up from school. After Ali confronted his wife, the two argued until he began to punch her and twist her arm trying to grab her car keys.
Prior to the incident, a judge had issued a restraining order against Ali to prevent him from contact with his estranged wife.

A bank robber in South Florida was turned in by his parents after they recognized him on a bank’s surveillance video.

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.

According to patients, Shook performed little or no examination before giving them prescriptions, which he advised them not to take to large pharmacies.
