| NOKOMIS MAN ARRESTED FOR STALKING |
|
WENGNews writes, "A NOKOMIS MAN WAS ARRESTED MONDAY ON A WARRANT FROM THE VENICE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR STALKING AN EX-GIRLFRIEND. POLICE SAY THE UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN CALLED THEM ON VALENTINE’S DAY TO REPORT THE STALKING, AND SHE TOLD THEM THAT SHE HAD A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST THE MAN, 51 YEAR OLD TIMOTHY GOETTEL. SHE HAD CALLED POLICE NUMEROUS OTHER TIMES SINCE THE COUPLE REPORTEDLY BROKE UP SOMETIME LAST YEAR. THE LAST REPORTED INCIDENT WAS THE VICTIM WAKING UP ONE MORNING AND FINDING ITEMS HANGING FROM A TREE ABOUT SEVENTY FEET BEHIND HER HOME. ONE OF THE ITEMS WAS A LETTER SIGNED BY GOTTELL. FEARING FOR HER SAFETY, OFFICERS REQUESTED THE WARRANT MONDAY, AND THEY ARRESTED GOTTELL ON AGGRAVATED STALKING AND VIOLATION OF INJUNCTIONS CHARGES. HE IS BEING HELD WITHOUT BOND IN THE SARASOTA COUNTY JAIL. "

| KISTON WANTS TO RENEGOTIATE |
|
WENGNews writes, "THE THOUSAND POUND GORILLA TO CHARLOTTE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY HAVE JUST GOTTEN A BIT HEAVIER. KITSON AND PARTNERS, THE PROSPECTIVE DEVELOPER OF MURDOCK VILLAGE TOLD COMMISSIONERS ON TUESDAY THAT THEY NOW ONLY WANT TO PURCHASE FORTY OF THE 870 ACRES ON THE PROPERTY AND DEVELOP IT INTO SHOPS, AND THEY WANT TO PUT OFF BUYING THE REST OF THE LAND FOR UP TO TWO YEARS. KITSON ALSO SAID IF COMMISSIONERS GOT A BETTER OFFER, HE ENCOURAGED THEM TO TAKE IT. COMMISSIONERS GRANTED A THIRTY DAY EXTENTION TO KITSON TO WORK OUT THE DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL, BUT SOME COMMISSIONERS WERE OPENLY SKEPTICAL OF THE NEW OFFER. COMMISSIONER ADAM CUMMINGS SAID THAT BASED ON THE ONE PAGE PROPOSAL HE RECEIVED ON MONDAY, HE WOULD BE INCLINED TO VOTE AGAINST IT. KITSON ORIGINALLY OFFERED TO PAY $72 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE ENTIRE PIECE OF LAND BACK IN OCTOBER, WHICH WAS STILL MORE THAN $30 MILLION DOLLARS LESS THAN WHAT THE COUNTY OWED ON THE LAND DUE TO RISING INTEREST COSTS, WHICH ARE NOW AT $16,700 A DAY. COMMISSIONERS WILL DECIDE IN APRIL IF THEY WILL ACCEPT THE NEW OFFER FROM KITSON. "

| ONE PHONE CALL IS A PRANK |
|
WENGNews writes, "IT APPEARS THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THE TWO CALLS A FRIEND OF MISSING EX-MARINE ERIC HALL RECEIVED BACK IN INDIANA LAST WEEK WAS A PRANK. ACCORDING TO A REPORT IN THE SUN, RELATIVES AND INVESTIGATORS STILL HOLD OUT HOPE THAT THE FIRST CALL WAS LEGITAMENT. CHARLOTTE COUNTY DEPUTIES SAY THE TWO CALLS CAME IN AT 12:29AM AND 7:15PM ON THURSDAY, AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO TRACE THE FIRST CALL. IT APPARENTLY CAME FROM A SPRINT CELL PHONE, AND THEY REQUIRE A COURT ORDER TO RELEASE THAT INFORMATION DUE TO PRIVACY CONCERNS. HALL WAS LAST SEEN ON FEBRUARY 3RD HAVING A WAR FLASHBACK WHEN HE TOOK OFF ON HIS MOTORCYCLE. IT WAS RECOVERED IN THE HARBOUR HEIGHTS AREA LATER THAT DAY. INVESTIGATORS AND SEARCHERS HAVE FOUND AT LEAST ONE SPIDERHOLE, OR HIDEOUT, THEY BELIEVE HALL MADE IN THAT AREA. "
