A man and woman in Sandalfoot Cove were arrested Friday, accused of burglary and other charges. Lindsay Farer (left, 26) and Justin Turner (right, also 26) both have the same reported address on SW 66th Avenue just south of Sandalfoot Blvd. and near the Sandalfoot Square plaza.
Ms. Farer is charged with burglary and grand theft, as well as resisting an officer. She previously appeared in West Boca News for minor drug charges in December. Court records also show a felony drug case from 2013, misdemeanors in 2007 and 2008, and several traffic cases. Broward records show a 2006 drug felony as well as another set of burglary charges earlier this year.
An Olympic Heights graduate, Mr. Turner is charged with two counts of burglary, and one each of grand theft and resisting. He also appeared in West Boca News in December for an aggravated assault and aggravated battery case. That was resolved with a misdemeanor domestic battery.
Court records show various offenses for him including several traffic cases, a 2009 felony involving burglary and false imprisonment that was dropped by prosecutors, and a 2007 grand theft case that prosecutors also dropped. Broward records show several traffic tickets, a 2010 felony for carrying a concealed firearm, and burglary charges from Broward this summer that look similar to the one Ms. Farer had.
Both of them remain in custody as of this writing.

Sandalfoot Battery Arrests
In addition to yesterday’s summary of DUI arrests, we have six battery cases to report. Battery is one of the most common charges we see and we saw more than usual this past week, mostly in Sandalfoot.
On the top left is Linda Fairbanks, 38, who resides in the east end of the Sandalfoot trailers. She was arrested Wednesday night by deputies, and released just after noon Thursday. We see no prior history for Ms. Fairbanks.
Top center is Richard Rogers, 22, from the west end of the trailers. He was arrested Sunday night and charged both with domestic battery and a minor marijuana possession charge. He was released today. He also had a warrant outstanding from 2009, “obtaining merchandise or money with a false receipt.” That last one sounds like it will be dismissed on speedy trial grounds. He’s also had several cases in Broward including one or two felonies.
Christina Moss (top right, 22) was arrested Thursday and released Friday. Her reported address is in Sandalfoot, but just east of 441. Her case is also being treated as a domestic incident. We see no other history for her.
Bottom left is Gloria Quintero (35) of the Boca Palms apartments in Boca Del Mar. She was arrested late Saturday and released Sunday afternoon. Similarly we see no history for Ms. Quintero.
Shirley White (bottom center, 25) was charged Saturday night for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Her reported address is in the west end of the Sandalfoot trailers not far from Rogers’. She was released earlier this afternoon. We see no criminal history for her either.
Nicholas Thomas (bottom right, 27) was booked Thursday morning on a regular battery charge. His reported address? Yes, the west end of the Sandalfoot trailers also close to Rogers and White. Mr. Thomas is a Spanish River grad and previously appeared in our arrest reports in April.
Credit Mr. Thomas for being thoughtful about his situation. Many people think those arrested are just criminals and that’s it. They’re people too – usually good people facing difficult times.
One last arrest to report is Walter Stubbs (27), from the Palms of Boca Del Mar apartments. He was charged Saturday night with the somewhat infamous “resisting an officer without violence,” a vague charge that is often dismissed. He had a felony assault charge last year that was reduced to a misdemeanor assaulting a police officer and he did a short stint in county jail. He’s also had multiple felonies and other cases in Broward.
