Even after a violent crash, they kept going. Deputy Sean Fitzgerald explains how a group targeted gated communities across Central Florida, stealing high-end vehicles right out of driveways and garages. 33 cases. All suspects now facing racketeering charges. In every case, keys were left inside the vehicle. Lock your doors. Take your keys with you.

We hear the comments about left lane drivers. Most people don’t realize that OCSO deputies enforce Florida’s Left Lane Law. During stops like these, deputies explain why cruising in the left lane is not just frustrating for other drivers - but dangerous for everyone. The left lane is for passing. Drivers who impede traffic can and do receive citations.

ARRESTED for Racketeering, Organized Fraud, Extortion, and Unauthorized Practice of Law For years, Legacy Imigra promoted itself as a full-service agency whose attorneys handled immigration and asylum claims for undocumented immigrants seeking lawful status in the United States. Instead, Vagner Soares De Almeida, his wife Juliana Colucci, and their associates amassed more than $20 million dollars while profiting from those in our community least able to defend themselves. They got rich through a business model built on manipulation, fraud, lies and extortion. And the majority of their clients – most of whom are Brazilian nationals - got no closer to realizing their dream of becoming Americans. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office - working in conjunction with Homeland Security Investigations, and the Florida Attorney General’s Office - took down this criminal enterprise this week. Its founder, Vagner Soares De Almeida, Colucci and their associates Ronaldo Decampos and Lucas Felipe Trindade Silva, have been arrested in this case and face charges of Racketeering, Organized Fraud, Extortion, and Unauthorized Practice of Law. Seven victims have come forward – each lost between $2,500 and $26,000. And we believe there could be hundreds more. If you or someone you know has been a victim of Legacy Imigra, or its subsidiaries, you can reach out to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line, 407-836-4357. This video has been translated into Spanish and Portuguese – please bear with us if the translation is not perfect, we thought it was important to get this out to our Spanish and Portuguese-speaking communities.

MAJOR DEVELOPMENT in the case of missing 13-year-old Madeline Soto: This evening, the Kissimmee Police Department, working in conjunction with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, arrested Stephan Sterns, 37, for sexual battery and possession of child sexual abuse material. Stephan Sterns is the boyfriend of Madeline’s mother, and the last confirmed person to see her on the morning of Monday, February 26. During the investigation into Madeline’s disappearance, Orange County Sheriff’s Office detectives discovered disturbing images when they forensically examined Sterns’ phone. A review of the phone’s data revealed attempts to delete evidence. Through the work of our Digital Forensics Unit earlier today, detectives discovered images and videos that were criminal, and sexual in nature. Detectives then were able to determine that those crimes were committed at the family home in Kissimmee, and they immediately notified Kissimmee Police. At this time, KPD detectives are the lead on the sexual battery case, working alongside members of our Criminal Investigations Division. OCSO is still actively investigating Madeline’s disappearance and Sterns is considered the prime suspect at this time. This afternoon, Sterns was brought to OCSO Central Operations where he was interviewed by Kissimmee PD and OCSO detectives. He invoked his right to an attorney and was placed under arrest and transported to jail, where we expect he will be held on no bond. “Stephan Sterns had an opportunity tonight to come clean with detectives and help lead them to information about Maddie’s disappearance,” said Sheriff John Mina. “Her loved ones deserve answers and OCSO and the Kisssimmee Police will not stop until we find Maddie.” The search for Madeline continues.

After our last video about left-lane driving, the comments rolled in. So we asked Sgt. McDaniels to answer some of your most common questions. Some are confused about what the law actually says. Simply put, if you’re being overtaken in the left lane, move over.

On December 26, 2025, deputies from our felony unit were in the 2200 block of Buchanan Bay Circle doing surveillance of a homicide suspect so they could serve a DNA search warrant in a murder that happened on Christmas Eve. While deputies were surveilling the residence, two men – the homicide suspect and another man - came out and the second man opened fire on deputies, striking one of our unmarked vehicles. One deputy returned fire, striking the 20-year-old shooter. Deputies rendered aid until paramedics were able to get to the scene and transport the man to the hospital, where he is undergoing surgery tonight. He will face charges for shooting at our deputies. The suspect in our homicide case – who was also armed with a handgun – was detained and was being questioned by our detectives late this evening. As is our standard procedure, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting and will turn over its findings to the State Attorney’s Office for review. Once that process is completed, OCSO will conduct its own internal investigation. The deputy who fired his weapon is on temporary, paid administrative leave.

⭐️His smile says it all! Last year, OCSO Master Deputy Hal Davis was seriously injured doing yard work at home & was unable to walk. Today, he walked his beautiful daughter Hannah down the aisle, making so many prayers come true. We are so happy for Hal and his entire family.⭐️

WE NEED YOUR HELP IDENTIFYING THESE INDIVIDUALS On the night of November 30, a large group shut down an intersection, set a fire in the roadway, and used the space for cars to perform donuts around the flames. The situation escalated as participants harassed innocent drivers, blocked them from passing, and in some cases, climbed on and damaged vehicles. This reckless and violent behavior poses a serious danger to our community and we are committed to holding those responsible accountable. In this video, we highlight the faces of 30 individuals involved in this takeover. If you recognize anyone, please contact Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS (8477). You can remain anonymous.

Street racing & intersection takeovers are illegal - and extremely dangerous. If you do this in Orange County, you’ll be arrested & your fancy car will be impounded for at least a month. OCSO arrested 9 people over the weekend - and they won’t be the last.

This Saturday, July 1, a law goes into effect that allows permitless carry of concealed weapons in FL. Get the facts. The new law does not change who can own a gun or where you can carry a firearm. Permitless carry is NOT open carry. Be informed, and be a responsible gun owner.

While visiting Magic Kingdom, a young boy wasn’t chasing down Disney characters for autographs. He was more interested in real-life heroes. When he spotted Deputy James McDonel, he ran over and asked for an autograph. Deputy McDonel signed his book and took it a step further by deputizing him on the spot, complete with a junior deputy badge. The boy’s mom recorded the moment and sent it to us, and we’re proud to share it here.

** WARNING: This video contains graphic scenes. Viewer discretion is advised. ** As part of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office’s commitment to transparency, it is our policy to release body-worn camera video within 30 days of a critical incident, including deputy-involved shootings. We think it’s important for members of our community to view the entirety of what is released, rather than rely on short snippets they may see elsewhere. On Tuesday, February 6, 2024, deputies responded to 4717 Davisson Avenue in regards to a man who was harming himself with a knife. When deputies arrived, the man ran out of the home and immediately charged at the deputies with the knife. The deputies fired their weapons at the man and rendered aid. He was taken to the hospital, where he died from his injuries. The video is being released pursuant to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Release of Video Recordings in Critical Incidents policy. The investigation into the shooting is still under way.
