Navigation Attorney General James Uthmeier and FWC Announce Prison Sentences for Four Criminals Who Burglarized State Parks
Attorney General James Uthmeier and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced prison sentences for four criminals connected to a string of state park burglaries. Attorney General Uthmeier’s Office of Statewide Prosecution charged Chandler Parrish Ellison, Alyssa Michelle Brewer, Aaron Tyler Higgins, and Kayly Dawn Burns with racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, armed burglary, and other offenses related to burglarizing ranger stations in state parks from Central Florida and into South Georgia. Each defendant pled guilty.
“Thanks to the cooperative work of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and our Statewide Prosecutors, four individuals who burglarized state parks will serve a collective 38 years behind bars,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “Florida parks showcase and preserve the natural beauty of this state, and I thank Assistant Statewide Prosecutor Robert Miller and FWC for pursuing justice and protecting our parks.”
“The collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies have been instrumental in bringing these individuals to justice and mitigating further threats to public property and visitor safety within state parks,” said FWC Executive Director Roger Young. “The FWC and the Florida Attorney General’s Office remain committed to upholding the integrity of Florida’s natural resources and ensuring the safety and security of park visitors and personnel.”
