Burglary, Grand Theft Auto in Gated Community: Career Offender Arrested

A family in the gated Estates community awoke to a burglary early yesterday morning (Monday). The alleged burglar, Ronald Wayne Stanley (above, 53), is then accused of stealing the SUV out of their driveway and heading off leading to a chase.
Palma Vista Way in the Estates is on the east side of 441 just south of Home Depot and north of West Boca Medical Center. With burglary as a common crime, there are some people that are taking the precaution to buy security systems for their businesses and homes, some of which use ai security software to catch trespassers on camera. Additionally, people may also want to take other security precautions, such as changing the locks to their homes and businesses. Locks can also be installed on windows too, making it more difficult for anyone to get in through them. Perhaps a Locksmith Elwood, for example, would be good to contact. They could help businesses and homeowners to secure their properties and change their locks, hopefully, preventing any burglaries.

Per the Sun-Sentinel, Mr. Stanley was tracked by the woman’s cell phone in the car down Glades, onto I-95 and into Lake Worth. After trying to avoid being pulled over, he eventually crashed, tried to flee on foot and was subdued with a Taser.
The Sheriff’s blotter indicates he faces felony charges for burglary, grand theft of a motor vehicle, felony resisting and fleeing, along with a few other charges. Oddly the burglary is listed as a lesser charge for an unoccupied dwelling when it appears the residents were actually home at time. Burglary can be seen as a misdemeanor and a felony offense, however it is important to know what the law is for your state. If you are being charged with Burglary you might want to look for a law firm similar to this Las Vegas criminal defense law firm who might be able to help with you case.
Mr. Wayne has a delightful history in the Palm Beach courts and is listed by the state as a career offender. He started off with a 1990 burglary and a 13-year prison sentence. The court records from that incident list him as a “habitual offender” so there’s a strong chance he had more on his record before that.
That 13-year sentence was apparently not fully completed as he faced a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charge from an offense date in 2000. In 2003 he faced another burglary charge which prosecutors reduced to minor misdemeanors and he was out of jail within about a month.
Then in 2004 he was charged with another burglary which was also dropped to a minor misdemeanor (trespassing) and he did another short jail sentence.
In 2007 he was arrested for two 2006 misdemeanors involving drugs and trespassing and got what looks like less than a day in jail for those. A month later he was arrested for what looks like two counts of burglary. One of those was dropped and he was found guilty on another, getting a 28-month jail sentence for that one.
Truth in sentencing laws continued to fail the public and less than 28 months later in 2009 Mr. Stanley was arrested for – Can you guess? – attempted burglary, petit theft and a couple of other charges. Now you might think the legal system was working because this was only an attempt.
He was found guilty at a jury trial in 2010 and was sentenced to five years but somehow got over a year of credit time and was released in May of 2014. This was more than enough time for him to find his way to a nice home in a gated community in West Boca. We wonder if this could be the same guy who committed a home invasion in The Oaks in November.
