Auburndale Police Department Arrests Suspect in November 4th Serious Injury Crash

 

At approximately 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 04, 2015, the Auburndale Police Department responded to a serious vehicle/bicycle crash in the 100 block of Adams Street, Auburndale, Florida. Officers arrived to find that 5-year-old Jasira Santos had been struck on her bicycle by a woman driving a green 1995 Jeep Cherokee, who was identified as Regina Shelton, W/F, 09/16/1980, who had been staying in the Winter Haven area. The on-scene investigation revealed that Shelton was seen by witnesses driving erratically northbound on Adams Street. The witnesses and the evidence at the scene revealed that Shelton left her lane of travel abruptly and crossed the southbound lane, where she then struck Santos and ran over her. Shelton then crashed into a large water supply line on the east end of a business on the west side of the road. Shelton put her vehicle in reverse and backed up in an attempt to leave the scene, but the rear wheels came to a stop against a wooden pole on the ground. A witness saw her trying to leave and was able to take the keys out of the ignition to prevent it. The ensuing investigation led to officers obtaining a blood sample from Shelton and that sample was analyzed at two laboratories. Analysis revealed the presence of methamphetamines in Shelton’s blood in sufficient amounts to impair her normal faculties. Auburndale investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Shelton charging her with one count of DUI with Serious Bodily Injury and one count of Leaving the Scene of a Crash with Serious Bodily Injury. Both charges are felonies. Shelton was located this morning at the Sunshine Motel on Hwy 17 in Winter Haven and was placed under arrest on the felony warrant. She is currently in the Polk County Jail on a no bond status.

There are some things we would rather not talk about. There are issues we are unwilling to discuss. We consider them “off-limits,” and when they come up, we try to change the subject as quickly as possible:

• Absolute truth         • Purity
• Heaven and hell     • Generosity
• Miracles                  • Race
• Repentance            • Gay marriage
• Holiness                  • Politics

But we live in a world that is too full of difficult challenges and controversial issues for us to refuse to engage.

The Scriptures were given so that Christians could be “thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:17 NIV). One of those “good works” is the ability to show a sincere inquirer that God has provided wise answers and reliable guidance not only for how to get to heaven, but also for how to respond and live effectively in this confused generation.

In Untouchables, Jack Hilligoss demonstrates how God’s Word never hides from any subject but, rather, handles these sensitive and intimidating topics with grace and truth. In doing so, he aims to equip the body of Christ with practical and profound Christian responses to these “untouchable” topics.
