Investigators Arrest Man for Robbery and Commercial Burglaries

May 4, 2016

LCSO Investigators recently made an arrest on two reported commercial burglaries which occurred on 4-9-16 and 4-29-16 at the Little Food Ranch on 121. During each of these burglaries, the owner reported the suspect broke the front door window with a cinder block and took lottery tickets, rolled coins and cigarettes. The owner reported a combined loss of approximately $1,635.00 including damage to the building.  

Investigators recovered images of the suspect from store surveillance and later on the 29^th received a tip. The tipster told investigators Augustino Petracca Jazikoff (9-3-85) was responsible for the break-ins. Investigators located Jazikoff and during an interview he admitted to the break-ins.

Investigators knew Jazikoff had been reported to be a suspect in a robbery. A 20 year old man reported to LCSO on 4-14-16 Jazikoff stole his phone and hat while holding a knife to his throat. Investigators confronted Jazikoff who admitted to holding a knife to a man’s throat and taking his hat and cell phone. Jazikoff told investigators he was protecting a young lady from being raped. Both the victim and his female companion denied any such act was occurring.

Jazikoff was booked into the Levy County Detention Facility and has been charged with two counts of burglary, two counts of grand theft and robbery with a weapon. Jazikoff additionally had a warrant for his arrest from Alachua County. His bond has been set at $417,000.00.

Pillow Case Burglars Arrested

April 26, 2016

The Levy County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) participated in a joint investigation with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO), the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to bring this investigation to a successful conclusion. Months of intense cooperative investigation and hundreds of pieces of evidence have been collected.  

Arrested were Darren Decker (41) and Jessica Baker (44) of Ocala. They have been linked to ten burglaries in Levy County and the LCSO investigators expect this number to climb. This husband and wife team is suspected of committing over 60 residential burglaries in the North Central Florida area. They targeted homes in rural areas of the above mentioned counties and stole guns, jewelry, electronics and prescription medication.

LCSO investigators and Crime Scene deputies worked long hours gathering forensic evidence and following leads. Some of the evidence collected from the crime scenes in Levy County was used to link this pair to other crimes from other counties. Sheriff McCallum praised the cooperation of all agencies involved in this investigation.

Decker and Baker are being held in the Sumter County Detention Facility on a No Bond status. They also have been linked to a recent murder investigation in Citrus County and charges are expected to be filed later.

Sheriff McCallum said, “We will do whatever it takes to ensure the job gets done and our citizens are safe in their homes.  It is a great relief knowing these two are in custody and the fear our community was feeling is now over.”
