Most Wanted

On November 13, 2008, and into the morning hours of November 14, members of the Lee County Sheriff's Office Gang Unit, Intelligence Unit and Anti-crime Unit blitzed the streets, taking into custody fourteen documented gang members. The arrests followed hundreds of hours of planning, investigation and pre-execution confirmation of targets and locations.

Operation Firewall comes on the heals of Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum's new statewide gang reduction missive...announced in June to address the threat of criminal gangs and gang violence. The strategy focuses on stopping the growth of gangs in Florida through prevention and intervention...law enforcement...and rehabilitation and re-entry of offenders back into society.

Of special note is the arrest of Devin Goldie, DOB 4-5-93, of 1735 NW 13th Terrace, Cape Coral. On November 12, 2008, Lee County sheriff's detectives received information that Goldie, a former student at North Fort Myers High School, had posted on his Myspace homepage the statement "MY HIT LIST: (people I wanna kill)" that listed as many as nineteen names including classmates, a teacher, a principal and a Cape Coral police officer. Goldie is a self-proclaimed member of "JUGGALO" ..a gang recognized as a national security threat by the FBI. Goldie is charged with Electronic Communications to Harass by a Gang Member and Written Threat to Kill or Injure.
