Marvin Garcia Brizuela, Stacia Irizarry, Zeresh Robinson This weekly WINK News segment features fugitives from justice right here in Southwest Florida. This is your chance to help out the community and give the tip that gets these people off the street. These suspects need to be found – and you can help. If you have seen them, reach out to Crime Stoppers or your local law enforcement. Call 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). Here are three fugitives wanted by Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers. Marvin Garcia Brizuela Marvin Garcia Brizuela (DOB 11/22/93) – wanted in Lee County for violation of probation for his 4th DUI conviction. His latest warrant started when he was at a Bonita Springs restaurant trying to sell drugs to patrons. When they complained to managers, Garcia Brizuela was kicked out of the business and deputies were called. They ended up spotting him across the street and when officers approached him, Garcia Brizuela was so drunk that he could hardly stand up. As it turns out, this was his fourth DUI, which came on the heels of three prior DUI convictions and driving on a license that had been revoked since 2014. He’s been booked 10 times in Lee County and four times in Collier for DUI, resisting, battery on a law enforcement officer and obstruction. He’s also served a year in prison for his repeated drunk driving. He is 5’8”, 160 pounds and was last known to be living in Tice. And upon his arrest, he will be held without bond. Stacia Irizarry [CAPTURED] Stacia Irizarry (DOB 11/7/80) – wanted in Lee County on a bench warrant for failure to appear on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. After getting into a fight with her boyfriend, witnesses watched as Irizarry got into her car, struck the victim, then pinned him up against a wall. After backing up and revving the engine again, she tried to knock him down a second time, but ended up wedging the car into a telephone pole. To date, Irizarry has been booked 20 times between Lee and Hendry Counties, on charges including grand theft, burglary, battery, contempt, prostitution, drugs and a sex offense. She is 5’8”, 180 pounds and could be using the aliases of either Stacia Adams or Stacia Rugulo. Deputies say she was last known to be living in central Fort Myers. Her warrant is also no bond. Zeresh Robinson Zeresh Robinson (DOB 9/10/91) – wanted in Lee County for violating probation following an arrest for 2 counts of aggravated battery on a pregnant victim. According to police reports, Robinson got into a verbal argument with a victim who was six months pregnant, and in front of two very young children. The victim was in a vehicle at the time and Robinson opened the door and tried to pull her out, striking her in the face several times. She only spent one day in jail for that crime, and in late December, she violated terms of her probation and has been on the run ever since. Her state probation was supposed to last until 2023, but with this latest violation, that term will probably be extended a bit. Since her first felony arrest at age 15, she’s been booked a dozen times for burglary, multiple thefts and shoplifting. He is 5’8”, 235 pounds and was last known to be living in Lehigh. She has several tattoos of note, including “Rebel Baby” on her right leg and “Strawberry Chocolate” on her left leg. CAPTURED Robert Freeman Our WINK News viewers in Southwest Florida have been busy calling in tips to help capture fugitives in Southwest Florida. One of last week’s suspects featured on Most Wanted Wednesday has already been arrested. [CAPTURED] Robert Freeman (DOB 7/27/66) – wanted in Lee County for violation of probation following his third DUI conviction. This guy has been booked 44 times in Lee County, alone, with a list of other arrests in Indian River and Sumter Counties, as well as four times in the DOC for being a drug dealer. On the list of his prior arrests are burglary, battery, threatening a public servant, hit and run, fleeing and eluding, resisting, forgery, domestic violence, theft, contempt and the three DUIs. His current warrant stems from an incident when he was busted at 11 in the morning, heavily intoxicated in his car, while still holding a cold beer in his hand. Officers noted that he was so drunk that he couldn’t even get through the field sobriety tests. Freeman is a registered convicted felon, who is 6’2”, 220 pounds, with a tattoo of the name Leana on his neck. Freeman was last known to be living in Dunbar and has been on the run for the last two and a half weeks. If you have a tip on the whereabouts of any of these wanted suspects contact Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers. All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $3,000. Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers 1-800-780-TIPS (8477) or southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com
