Hypothetically speaking, I KNOW none of the parties involved would appreciate you creating speculation about their private and family matters on an internet forum.
ETA: @Moderator_1 - perhaps a post to monitor.

I have no opinion on this specific case, but this statement is just untrue. People are arrested and detained for first time, low level drug offenses all the time. People are arrested and detained for first time DUIs. You donāt have to be a repeat offender or be threatening to kill someone to be arrested and detained.

My friendās son was arrested after ONE phone call to the cops claiming that he touched his girlfriend. This just happened on Friday. They will arrest with no prior record. He was charged with battery.
And it was in FL too.

FL law requires that an arrest be made in domestic/dating violence situations if there has been a battery, with visible injuries and or witnesses. Period. Full stop. If any of those existed that is why your friends son was arrested. Domestic/dating violence batteries are different than regular batteries.

then maybe they should keep it private by not getting arrested.

The arrest and booking report and police report are public record. They just have to ask for it. I may be speaking out of turn but Ocala being Ocala Iām sure COTH has a stringer they can call to get the reports.

You do commit battery if you touch someone when they donāt want you to.
It has been posted here, in this very thread, that it is not available yet.
Well, thatās the gospel then. /S//
They better have a good reason because they are in violation of FL law by not providing it. Itās all on computer. Itās ready.
More than one person has looked it up and it is not there yet.
(Before you twist what I am saying, I am not talking about people who work for COTH, I do not personally know any of those people, I am talking about people who know how to look up these things.)
If it is right there and available, please post it for all of us to see. That would be the most logical thing to do if you personally know how to get it.

I think what this poster must mean is that he is under pre-trial detention? Arrest, detention, and pre-trial detention (for example, being held without bond) are all different things. Whether to release someone before trial is typically up to a judge or magistrate, not the police, who only decide on the initial arrest. The judge/magistrate may apply laws/guidelines depending on the offense and the offenderās record. They often hear arguments from a prosecutor and defense attorney at a bond hearing, which could be a few days after the arrest.
And yes as has been said, in a lot of states arrest is mandatory in domestic violence situations that meet certain criteria like visible injuries. I know nothing about this case or whether those circumstances apply here.

and where āin this very threadā is that post? I reread just to be sure and did not see it.
Itās ready. Someone just has to go ask for it. Certain information may be redacted out it either per state law or by victim request, but itās ready.

It wonāt be on whatever website that is. You must carry yourself or send someone to the police station or substation or send an email to the appropriate individual who is the custodian of such records within the appropriate dept (prob either Ocala PD or Marion County SO) and ask for it. There may be a fee of a couple of dollars per page . Tada very simple.
Then you did not read very well.

Again, if it is so simple, go do it.
And yes, it will be on that website. It is not on that website yet.

Actually i read fine. they said it wasnāt there. not that it wasnāt ready. and it probably wonāt ever be there. Court records and reports are not the same thing.
You donā't know where to look obviously. Most depts do not post every single report on whatever website there is, usually just basic arrest info, court appearances, bond etc.
Anyone can go to the dept or email them and ask for it. Pay a couple of bucks and get the report. Anything else is in violation of Floridaās Public records law. (FS 119 for anyone interested). And the battery statute is FL 784 . Unfortunately, i know that because of situations within my own family that required obtaining record for various things.

nope not doing it. Donāt care enough. I donāt live near Ocala and itās not worth the effort.
it will come up eventually. and someone will post it.
And thatās not even a website for a law enforcement agency. ROTFL
Oh well Iāl watch that website with bated breath for it to not show up there but Iām sure when it does (not) youāll be the first to gloat. Iāll wait.

There are no online records regarding this incident and this person as of this afternoon.
I doubt there has been a bail hearing yet, or else they are very slow updating the online records.
I donāt think we can read anything into whether he will be allowed to be released on bail yet.

They wont be online. Someone has to go to or email the arresting department for the incident report and the arrest report and/or Marion county SO for just the arrest and booking report.
According to the Marion County Sheriffās Office webpage he is still there with no bond. First Appearance is required within 24 hours of arrest, but thatās not necessarily to set bail, although in this case he has no bond.
