On July 11, 2018 members of the Levy County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division conducted a proactive patrol campaign in the City of Inglis. Investigators were seeking traffic offenders, unlicensed drivers and persons transporting illegal drugs. Investigators located all of the above in a single traffic stop.

A vehicle was observed leaving the parking lot of the Kangaroo gas station at the intersection of US 19 and Hwy 40. Investigators noticed the tag was not current and verified this through a computer check. Investigator Wilkinson attempted to stop the driver who fled east on Sandi Street, ultimately turning onto Jerry Street where he was blocked in by Investigator McNeil. The driver, identified as Mark G Gonzalez (7-14-91) from Dunnellon, was taken into custody. 

Investigators identified Carla Carter-Jenkins (6-12-76) of Dunnellon, Sidney Allen (5-21-98) of Inglis and Lindon Owens (10-24-93) of Dunnellon as the passengers of the vehicle. The subsequent roadside investigation revealed all three passengers were in possession of various illegal narcotics. All occupants were arrested.

Investigator Douglas conducted a traffic stop on North Inglis Avenue and identified the driver of the vehicle as Christopher Allen (10-1-75) of Inglis. A computer check identified Christopher Allen had an active warrant for his arrest issued in Citrus County. 

Investigators also located and arrested Jake Bryant (7-29-80) of Inglis who had an active warrant for violation of probation issued in Levy County.
