Marion deputies chase stolen vehicle and K9 Jax makes the arrest
On February 12, 2023, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) received a report that a 2018 white Toyota Tundra had been stolen from Public Storage, located at 9275 S. Highway 441, in Ocala. Deputies responded to the area of Southeast 162nd Place Road, in Summerfield, based on information that the vehicle was nearby.
While searching for the vehicle, Deputy Chad Haufler located a white Toyota Tundra on Southeast 49th Lane. As he confirmed that this was the stolen vehicle, the driver, Skylar Adkins, drove away at a high rate of speed.
Adkins fled from deputies for several miles until deputies lost sight of the stolen vehicle. A short while later, additional information was received that Adkins drove to the 15000 block of SE 93rd Court, where he was observed by Lieutenant Donnie Medlin. K9 Corporal Calvin Batts and his partner, K9 Jax, responded to assist with the search for Adkins.
While running from deputies, Adkins entered a home and asked the occupants to hide him from law enforcement. The homeowners refused and demanded that he leave. After Adkins left the residence, K9 Corporal Batts located him in between two fences, at which time Adkins continued to flee on foot. K9 Jax was released and apprehended Adkins a short distance away. Adkins was then placed under arrest.
Adkins was charged with Fleeing to Elude a Law Enforcement Officer, Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Grand Theft (of Property valued at $10,000 or more but less than $20,000), Burglary of a Conveyance, Driving with a Suspended License, Resisting an Officer without Violence, Trespassing in an Occupied Structure, and five (5) counts of Violation of Probation.
Adkins also had active warrants for Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Burglary of a Conveyance, and Burglary of a Dwelling. He was transported to the Marion County Jail, where he remains held without bond.
