MARION COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – The Marion County Sheriff’s Office reported multiple arrests this week stemming from incidents involving battery, fleeing law enforcement and property damage.

In one case, deputies responded to a residence following a physical altercation. According to investigators, Shannon Lamb, while intoxicated, aggressively shoved a 79-year-old victim to the ground, causing a laceration on the victim’s arm. Lamb was arrested and transported to the Marion County Jail.

In a separate incident, Corporal Blair responded to a disturbance at Marion Masonry on NE 35th Street. Authorities said Daniel Alvarez became upset after being terminated from his job and battered the victim before leaving the business.

On Aug. 4, K9 Corporal Demarco attempted to stop a motorcycle at the intersection of SE Baseline Road and SE Maricamp Road. The driver, identified as Pascual Sanchez-Irizarry, fled the scene, prompting a warrant for his arrest. Days later, deputies said Sanchez-Irizarry returned to move his truck following a parking complaint and was arrested by Deputy Bailey on the outstanding warrant for fleeing to elude. He was transported to jail without incident.

Another arrest occurred after Corporal Carlos Arias responded to an attempted burglary and battery at a local residence. Investigators said Helvin Morales drove from Georgia to confront a former partner after the victim ended their long-distance relationship. During the night, Morales allegedly tried to enter the home using a credit card. When two victims exited the residence, Morales battered both before fleeing.

He was arrested and taken to jail.

The case remains under investigation.
