Man Arrested For Unprovoked Attack
A 28-year-old Tampa man has pleaded guilty t0 commit- ting aggravated identity theft, conspiring to commit credit card fraud, and identity theft. He fled the area after being released on bond in October 2015.
According to court docu- ments, Jose Ojeda Vera was arrested on the charges August 27, 2015. While free on bond, Vera violated his pre-trial release in January 2016. He remained a fugitive until he was arrested on March 2, 2018.
Court documents show that Vera and his co-defen- dant, Yannier Arias, used a total of 45 counterfeit and unauthorized credit cards en- coded and embossed with ac- count information that had been obtained by, among other things, “skimming” credit cards at local gas sta- tions.
They used this stolen in- formation to purchase mer- chandise at local
merchants. Many of the vic- tims were unaware their in- formation had been stolen until they were notified by law enforcement.
On February 24, 2015, Vera and Arias had 18 coun- terfeit credit cards in their possession, all in the name “Angel Garcia,” along with two fraudulent Florida identi- fication cards in the same name.
One ID card had Vera’s photograph on it, and the other depicted Arias. The two men had made more than $6,300 in fraudulent charges two days prior.
Agents also later recov- ered two more counterfeit credit cards from Vera’s home, along with receipts for purchases made with those cards.
On September 6, 2016, Arias was sentenced to 8 years and 6 months in fed- eral prison. He later unsuc- cessfully appealed that sentence.
A 34-year-old Riverview man was arrested Friday and is facing several charges. He is accused of an unprovoked at- tack on a Hillsborough County Deputy.
According to police, Deputy Lance Feinman re- sponded to 9024 Sienna Moss Lane in reference to a domes- tic disturbance at 7:30 p.m. Deputy Feinman was al- lowed entry into the home by a family member and an- nounced that he was a deputy.

Fatal Shooting Ends Quarrel Between Brothers
Lakeland Police officers re- sponded to a shooting on Mon- day that left one man dead and another injured. The shooting was the result of an argument between two brothers.
According to police, Henry Schreiner, 55, told police he had picked up his brother, Robert Schreiner, 52, of Polk City, and brought him to his apartment in Lakeland. The brothers reportedly became en- gaged in an argument.
Henry Schreiner told po- lice that his brother pulled a pocket knife and began bran- dishing it as a weapon and threatened to cut his throat.
He further told police that he went into the bedroom and his brother followed him and continued the argument. Schreiner said he then grabbed his gun from under the pillow and told his brother to go back into the living room.

After failing to take his own life, he called police and told them that he had shot his brother.
Robert Schreiner died at the scene. Henry Schreiner was transported to Lakeland Regional Hospital, where he was admitted with non-life threatening injuries.
