Sex & Violence in Boca: Crime Report
A couple of sex-related incidents this week including a Palmetto Pines man accused of misbehavior by Virginia police and a forcible sexual assault by a young man from East Boca.
We also have a Lexington Estates man with an illegal concealed weapon, DUI for a young man from Lakes at Boca Raton, fraud in Boca Del Mar, and a couple batteries in Sandalfoot.
Marvin Duncan (55, Palmetto Pines) was arrested on a felony warrant out of Virginia.
It appears he’s accused of using a computer to solicit sex from a child between the age of 7 and 15.
We don’t see any priors for Mr. Duncan and our court files do not contain any details of the case in Virginia.
Duncan is contesting extradition and remains for now in our county jail.
Frantz Demezier (19, East Boca) was arrested for forcible sexual assault. Details are in the affidavit as follows:
The young genius left his “Nike slides” in the apartment during the incident in December. Police swabbed the sandal and it came up with a match for Demezier. The victim then picked Demezier out of a photo lineup as her assailant.
We see no priors for Demezier so we’re not sure why his DNA is in the system. This suggests he might have a juvenile record we can’t see.
Jessika Alves (28, Villas of Sandalfoot) of Boca Del Mar was arrested and charged with domestic battery on her mother. Deputies had been called to a “domestic disturbance.” On their arrival the mom wanted Alves “Baker Acted.”
Deputies did not see sufficient cause for a Baker Act proceeding. The mom then said that Alves had hit her. Deputies then began investigating this as a domestic battery. The mom refused to allow her injuries to be photographed and refused to fill out a sworn statement.
Alves admitted pushing and hitting her mother and was arrested.
Virginia Gabante Gonzalez (26, East Boca, citizen of Venezuela) was arrested for fleeing law enforcement at high speed. The police affidavit indicates that she hit a median while making a turn. When police attempted to pull her over she accelerated to estimated speeds of 90-100 miles per hour. This is on NW 2nd Ave off of Glades in East Boca.
At some later time – it’s not clear how much later – Boca PD found the same vehicle after it had been in an accident. Gonzalez denied hitting the median and said she thought the police officer was trying to pull someone else over.
According to the officer Gonzalez later admitted fleeing because she had been drinking. She also faces charges for reckless driving from the accident, though there’s no apparent DUI charge.
Joseph Terzo (21, Hidden Lakes in East Boca), was arrested for stealing a beige 2005 Lincoln Town Car, quite possibly the most boring car stolen in history.
Terzo was stopped by police and he got out of the car and ran, leaving the vehicle in gear and moving. An alert officer from Boca PD was able to get in and stop the car.
The victim told police he regularly leaves his car unlocked in the driveway with the keys under the driver’s seat.
Seriously?
During the arrest police found drugs on Terzo including oxycodone, alprazolam (Xanax), clonalzepam (Klonopin), and some drug paraphernalia as well.
Terzo had previous felony drug cases in 2017 and 2018.
Kayla Mejia (25, Boca Del Mar) was arrested for check fraud. The Boynton Beach Chipotle employee is accused of attempting to cash a bogus check at a TD Bank in Boynton.
Mejia told police that her boyfriend, a fellow Chipotle employee, offered her $500 to cash the check for him. It does not appear that the boyfriend has been charged, at least not yet.
Pro tip – If someone offers you $500 to cash a check for them, it’s obviously fake.
We see no priors for Mejia.
Jake Murdoch (19, Lakes at Boca Raton) was arrested for DUI on Yamato Road near Patch Reef Park. A Boca PD officer noticed him turning west onto Yamato around 4 am and initially going into the eastbound lanes. He did catch himself, backed up, and then went into the correct westbound lanes.
Nothing good happens after 2 am.
During the drive to the police station Murdoch advised that he had to throw up. The officer let him out of the car and Murdoch threw up on the side of the road. Murdoch refused a breath test.
21-year-old Darvin Pinales of Lexington Estates was arrested at 4:40 am on US-441 near West Boca Medical Center.
After 2 am …
A deputy first observed the car heading south near Glades, failing to stay in its lane and veering into the bike lane at least a couple times.
“Upon approaching the vehicle I encountered the overwhelming odor of marijuana. As I walked closer … the odor only grew stronger and stronger.”
During the traffic stop deputies found a pistol in Pinales’ pocket. He was not happy to see them.
Not having a concealed carry license, Pinales was arrested for illegally carrying a concealed firearm. So far we see no charge filed for DUI.
Adolphe Alaby (48, Rosewood Apartments in Sandalfoot Cove) was arrested for domestic battery. His girlfriend reported multiple incidents over a period of 6 days according to the deputy sheriff.
We see a 1998 felony domestic battery case against Alaby from Broward County, but no other priors.
