Olympic Heights Kid Faces New Charges

Desmond Washington, 18, now faces a series of new charges arising out of one or more incidents from July of last year.
Washington made the news as part of a robbery in July of 2014 involving several young males and guns in West Boca. We covered a small part of that case involving Curtis Hamilton back in March of this year. Washington was arrested in that case in August.
In addition to the robbery incident, Mr. Washington was charged in November with burglary and grand theft of a firearm. Those two cases appear to be resolved with Mr. Washington getting sentenced to a couple years in state prison. He is scheduled for release in 2016.

However, several new charges were filed within the past few days and for now he’s back in the county jail. Court records show multiple counts of grand theft and dealing in stolen property, indicating these offenses took place a day after the robbery.
It would appear that Mr. Washington may be facing some additional time in state prison, though of course he’s innocent until proven guilty and the delay in charging him may suggest problems for the prosecution in proving their case.
Mr. Washington’s reported address is in the Vineyards, off Palmetto Park Road just east of the newly reopened Walmart.

Watergate Burglar: A Repeat Offender from West Sandalfoot

The west end of Sandalfoot Boulevard is home to many arrestees and we have another one from Thursday. Alicia Anderson, 24, whose reported address is in the Watergate Estates trailers, was charged with burglary, larceny, fraud and dealing in stolen property.
This is not Ms. Anderson’s first experience with our court system. County records show a few traffic tickets, a misdemeanor, and two previous felony cases. In 2009 she faced felony drug charges which were dropped by prosecutors. In 2010 a minor marijuana offense was also dropped. However an incident in 2012 led to a case that made the Sun-Sentinel, calling her a “vacuum thief.”
If we read the record correctly, she pled guilty to multiple counts including felony grand theft and was sentenced to 2 years probation. That didn’t go well, her probation was revoked in January of this year and she served a few months in county jail.
If that’s not enough, there’s this classy photo of her:

9-Foot Gator in Boca Winds

A reader sent us several photos of an alligator in one of the lakes in Boca Winds. The lake, in the Ashley Park subdivision, is near the Loxahatchee canal on the southern border of the county and toward the far west end of West Boca (south of Palmetto Park Road).

Here’s a few pictures from lake in Ashley Park after the “Environmental
Capture and Release” crew caught a 9′ gator outside our back door this
morning.

Here are a few more shots:

Hobby Lobby Opening Friday?

We previously reported that the West Boca Hobby Lobby will have its grand opening on September 29th. But a reader noticed that the company website store locator pegs the opening on the 26th, which is tomorrow. See above for that.
Our report was based on what they told us (see their Twitter response below).

Update – Hobby Lobby responded to us just now.

So it looks like a soft opening on Friday with the grand opening on Monday.
