Arrests During the Week

The Sheriff reports arresting Dwarka Latchman on just after midnight Tuesday (i.e. Monday night) for battery and released early Wednesday morning. His reported address is just south of Palmetto across from Loggers Run Park.
Latchman plays bass for Dimensionz, a party band of mostly Caribbean-born musicians of mostly South Asian descent. They play Chutney, Soca, Hindi Film, Reggae and Pop selections.
 
He also has a car for hire business called DL Transport Services, registered with the county.
 
 
 
 
Next up is Frank DeBrino, a preacher who wrote a book in 2008 called The Way Maker (a Street Called Straight).
Frank DeBrino was born in Bronx, NY in 1954 … served as an altar boy for 8 years …. He played basketball and baseball with the Philadelphia Phillies baseball school in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and some football …. He also attended Fairleigh Dickinson College …. However, after his ordeal [with addiction for 30 years], Frank chose a life of servitude to the Lord who saved him. He now spends his time equipping and teaching others who may be trapped in the seemingly never-ending cycle of drug addiction.
The book asserts a connection to the Church of All Nations in East Boca, but we can’t find any evidence of that. DeBrino is charged with battery on someone over the age of 65 and felony battery. His reported address is in Raspberry Park, which is off the loop around West Boca Medical Center.
DeBrino was arrested early Tuesday and released just after noon.
Widely reported was the arrest of chiropractor Matthew Charles Supran, who apparently lost his mind while watching a youth hockey game and attacked a kid.
Supran’s reported address is in Newport Bay Club (really central Boca), but the media have  reported him as living in West Boca.  We don’t see any public statement from Supran on his Twitter page, nor on his blog.
Steven Akiva was arrested Thursday morning and released Friday afternoon. He’s charged with dealing in stolen property and some violation of a pawnbroking law. These look like charges that are often difficult to prove and we suspect Mr. Akiva may get a favorable result.
From our research, Akiva is a 2003 graduate of Olympic Heights High School and Sandpiper Shores Elementary, as well as a Miami Heat fan. His address appears to be his parents’ home in Sandcastle Cove in the Lakes, just north of Yamato off of Cain. The family may have a painting business but the corporate records filed with SunBiz are inconsistent.
Update: This article had a surge of traffic in early February. It appears that Mr. Akiva passed away in early February, per this obituary.
Andrew Gribben was arrested Thursday morning and released Friday afternoon on what is listed as a fairly low level larceny charge. He was probably held for more than 24 hours because of a “failure to appear” though we can’t see what charges he’s failed to appear for. He has had a few cases in the Palm Beach County courts over the past 10 years or so.
His reported address is in the Island Lakes neighborhood north of Glades at Judge Winikoff, in a home that appears to be owned by his parents. As with Mr. Akiva, a charge like this may be tough for the prosecution and they’re often resolved favorably, though Mr. Gribben’s record won’t help.
