3 Teens, 1 Adult Arrested In Sarasota For Aggravated Battery Of Elderly Man

SARASOTA, Fla. – Sarasota Police have arrested three juveniles and one adult in connection with the brutal attack of a 67-year-old man last month.

The incident occurred in the early morning hours of October 13th, near the 200 block of South Orange Avenue. The victim reported being assaulted by four young men who repeatedly struck him with their fists and a tree branch. One of the attackers also threw a rock at the victim, causing head injuries.

Shortly after the assault, officers located a vehicle matching the description provided by the victim. The occupants were identified as Ethan Craig (17), Logan Pollard (16), Nathan St. Onge (15), and Adrian Zambrana (18), who initially gave a false name to officers.

Through a thorough investigation, including review of surveillance footage and witness interviews, detectives were able to gather enough evidence to link the four individuals to the attack. The video reportedly shows the suspects approaching the victim, with one carrying a large tree branch, and then proceeding to assault him.

All four suspects have been arrested and charged with aggravated battery of a person 65 years of age or older. Zambrana faces an additional charge for providing a false name to law enforcement.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Sarasota Police Department or CrimeStoppers.
