Watergate Estates Crime Report

Five incidents involving residents of the Watergate Estates trailer park area, including burglary, larceny, domestic violence and contempt.

Michael Pitts (55) and Sabrina Mounts (36) were both arrested from the same address. The PBSO affidavit indicates the two worked together to steal over $1000 worth of tools from Home Depot. Both were charged with felony grand theft. Pitts and Mounts are married.

Not long after, Pitts was also charged with vehicle burglary along with Christopher Sagmoe (33). A guest at the trailer where Pitts was living parked her car there and a neighbor’s video captured over 10 minutes of Sagmoe and Pitts breaking into the car and stealing a pair of sunglasses.

We see no priors for Ms. Mount. Mr. Sagmoe has an FDLE record with state prison time.

Pitts also has an FDLE record with state prison time.

Thomas Heider (60) of the Sleepy Brook neighborhood just north of Watergate Estates, was arrested for violating a domestic injunction.

He was dropping the kids off and told the babysitter to threaten his wife that if she didn’t “return his mail” she would “go to jail.”

The injunction includes a no-contact provision and apparently delivering a message through a third party violates the order.

Heider has some recent domestic cases against him, probably related to that order.

Jesse Powell (29) was arrested for two domestic incidents within days of each other.

In the first incident his wife accused him of grabbing her by the hair and dragging her through the home. When questioned by deputies, he claimed that if there’s no mark on her, there’s no crime.

The deputies apparently did not buy Mr. Powell’s legal argument and he was arrested.

After being released with a no-contact order, he started calling his wife, thus violating the no-contact order. She called PBSO and a deputy was with her when Powell called.

Shortly thereafter the deputy saw Powell within 500 feet of the residence, and arrested him for violating the no-contact order.

He remains in the main detention center for now, with bond set at $60,000.

We see no priors for him.
