On December 5, 2015 LCSO deputies responded to the Suwannee River Livestock Fairgrounds located in Fanning Springs to a reported burglary.  Fair Director Loran Brookins advised that recently an unknown person had broken into one of the Fair offices and had stolen some handheld radios and chargers.  Mr. Brookins also advised that it appeared someone had been living in one of the offices on the fairgrounds. 

On December 7, 2015 Deputy Sam Quincey and other deputies went to the fairgrounds to conduct a security check.  Deputy Quincey located David Alec Summers (12-3-80) sleeping inside one of the offices.  Summers was detained by the deputies.  Their subsequent investigation revealed that the office door had been damaged to gain access. Deputies found three syringes and a methadone tablet among Summers’ belongings.  Summers was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Criminal Mischief. 

After being transported to the Levy County Detention Center, Summers was interviewed by Investigator Scott Stancil.  During the interview Summers admitted that he had stolen the radios from the fairgrounds.  Based on information provided by Summers, LCSO investigators were able to recover the radios and chargers.  Summers was also charged with Burglary and Petit Theft. 

Summers remains in the Levy County Detention Center where he is being held on $135,000.00 total bond.
