Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno says people don't just move to Florida for palm trees and beaches. 'It's because of law and order,' he said during an interview with Fox News Digital. 'Their families are safe. Their children are safe in schools, and it's not like other places, unfortunately, that we see today.' Sheriff Marceno believes in transparency. His department made that clear by publicizing bank surveillance footage from Feb.
Alavache had an 'extensive criminal history' and was a convicted felon, LCSO said. The sheriff wonders why he was still on the streets prior to the bank incident. 'I do recognize the failed policies in my hometown of New York, in California, in other places where, you know, allowing violent criminals to roam the streets and reoffend - that's a failure. Our justice system has failed in other places. Not in the state of Florida.
