Richmond Co. Deputy apprehends burglary suspect in traffic stop
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – On May 12th, around 4:21 p.m., Deputy Noah Johnson with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office Crime Suppression Team conducted a traffic stop on a green 1998 Buick LeSabre with a paper tag at the intersection of Apple Valley Drive and Mike Padgett Highway. The driver, identified as 46-year-old Antonio Rodiquez Tyler, was found to have an outstanding warrant for Burglary in the Second Degree related to a November 2024 incident at Burger King located at 1601 Gordon Highway. He also had a Felony Failure to Appear warrant and was immediately taken into custody. Further investigation by the Criminal Investigations Division (CID), along with observations made during the traffic stop, led to two additional charges of Burglary in the Second Degree. These charges stem from break-ins that occurred on May 11, 2025, at the Chevron gas station at 902 Walton Way and the Dollar General store at 3036 Peach Orchard Road. 'Traffic stops do more than just slow down speeders—they often lead to the apprehension of individuals wanted for serious crimes,' stated Sheriff Eugene Brantley. 'We are proud of the proactive work our deputies continue to do. This case is a great example of how situational awareness, training, and sharp investigative instincts come together to remove criminals from our streets. We remain committed to ensuring that all Augustans and visitors feel safe and are safe throughout our community.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Suspected package thief nabbed in Coral Gables, linked to 15 cases, police say
A man accused of stealing packages from porches across Coral Gables has been arrested after police linked him to at least 15 thefts in the past month. Mario Sobalvarro faces felony burglary and theft charges after officers from the Coral Gables Police Department's Crime Suppression Team tracked him down Friday. Police said he was driving a Chevy Equinox with an illuminated "Uber" rideshare sign on the dashboard when they took him into custody. Investigators say Ring doorbell footage captured Sobalvarro stealing packages, including one containing a $60 skirt on Presidents Day. He was also caught on camera taking a package from another home just a block away, police said. For victims like homeowner Danny Catania, the arrest brought relief. "It's annoying, as it would be for anybody," Catania said. "The most recent package taken from me was a set of noise-canceling headphones for a newborn. We have a one-month-old baby girl; she needed those." With Sobalvarro in custody, Coral Gables police say they are stepping up patrols to deter further package thefts.
