Deputy Mike Sinclair stopped a Toyota truck when he saw it
had a broken tail light last night just east of Bronson. Deputy Sinclair spoke
to the driver and noticed the passenger seemed nervous. When Deputy Sinclair
asked for the passenger’s identification, the passenger told him he did not
have one with him and offered to spell his name.
Deputy Sinclair is a native of Bronson and also having gone
to school here, knows quite a few Bronson residents. The passenger used Deputy
Sinclair’s phone and typed in his name and birth day. Curious thing is, the
name was misspelled and Deputy Sinclair knew the person the passenger claimed
to be. The name he gave was a classmate of Deputy Sinclair’s in high school.
It didn’t take but a minute to figure out the real identity
of the passenger. He answers to the nick name “June Bug.” June Bug or shall we
call him Vincent (Williams) was a wanted man. Alachua County had two
outstanding warrants for his arrest for many things including burglary, grand
theft auto, fleeing the police as well as child abuse. The Alachua County courts
assigned a $450,000 bond to these warrants.
To make matters worse for Vincent he was also “holding” a
gram of cocaine. Deputy Sinclair did not entertain Vincent’s pleas of “please,
please, please, don’t charge me for lying to you,” and added the charges of possession
of cocaine and providing a false name to law enforcement.
Vincent Ivanhoe Williams III (10/1/91) who lists a
Gainesville address and will be held at the Levy County Detention Facility on his
current Levy County charges before being transferred to Alachua County.
