Hendry County Deputy Simeon Harrynarine, 43, was arrested in Charlotte County Sunday, March 30, accused of felony battery. Dep-uty Harrynarine and several others have been on administrative leave with pay after an offi cer-related shooting March 5, which ended with the subject being shot and killed. Harrynarine was one of four offi cers involved. According to the Hendry County Sheriff ’s Offi ce, af-ter his arrest in Charlotte County, he was placed on Administrative Leave without Pay, pending the

outcome of his court case and an internal investigation conducted by the local Sheriff ’s Offi ce.

According to the Charlotte County Sheriff ’s booking sheet Harrynarine is being held without bond on a charge of felony bat-tery. The report states the incident began shortly after midnight as the deputy, his girlfriend and her nine-year-old son were traveling southbound on I75. A caller said he was at the side of the highway with a woman whose face was bleeding. She told the man that she had been beaten.

Before his arrival at the scene,

responding offi cer A. Nardi learned that the man in ques-tion is a Hendry County deputy. On scene, he made contact with Harrynarine, who was leaning against his vehicle by the side of the road. His report indicates that there was blood on the sleeve of his sweater.

The Charlotte offi cer said in his report that Harrynarine told him his girlfriend, Jamie R. Bartley, 31, started “going crazy” for no rea-son and wanted him to pull over so she could get out. According to Harrynarine, he refused because it would not be safe. However,

he said she opened the car door while they were traveling and he reached across her to close it, ac-cidentally striking her in the face with his elbow. He said that he did not hit her with his hands.

The report indicates that Ms. Bartley was crying when inter-viewed by Deputy Nardi, was bleeding from her face and had blood all over her clothing. She had a laceration in the middle of her face from the “middle of in-between her eyes to above her eyebrows.” She told the offi cer that Harrynarrine was on admin-

A plan by Florida Power & Light to build a “Clean Energy Center” in the southeast corner of Hendry County, adjacent to the Seminole Indian Reservation has pitted the Native American Tribe against the natural gas and solar powered electricity producing giant and Hendry County’s economic goals.

A lawsuit seeking to force Hen-dry County to reverse its May 2011

rezoning of that 2,300-acre pro-posed site from General Agricul-ture to Planned Unit Development is scheduled for 9 a.m. April 21 at the Hendry County Circuit Court.

One small piece of that show-down occurred at the February 25 Hendry County Commission meeting in LaBelle when a contin-gent from the Reservation came to argue against a county vote to amend to the Economic Develop-ment Element of the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and to add the

defi nition of an Economic Engine Project and Target Industries to its Comprehensive Plan.

Tribe members spoke passionate-ly against building the plant, saying it would disrupt their ancient life style and have a serious detrimen-tal effect on the water table and

wildlife on the Reservation. They fear the planned FPL 20+ million gallon per day water plant will put their water source in danger, tap into the aquifer and further stress endangered species.

The group feared that Hendry County is being treated like Palm Beach County - with “everything open for economic develop-ment.” Spokesmen for the Tribe noted that for the past 100 years changes in South Florida have been all about money and that often results in damage to the en-vironment. They felt that their land is a “unique place” where they have a relationship with God and urged that American society stop destroying the environment and turn the tide around.

Tribal members said in the last few years they have already seen dramatic and dismaying changes in area wildlife, including a re-duced number of birds and the contamination of water.

One speaker, Stephanie Hall of the Toad Clan, said her people have lived for 1,000 years on this

land and feared the project would ultimately end in “environmental genocide” of indigenous people.

Hendry County Associate Plan-ner Sarah Catala is just as con-vinced that the amendment to the county’s decision will not affect the Tribe. She said that Hendry County is only interested in pro-viding a “target industry” to help build its economic future - target industries like FPL’s gas powered electric plant proposed for the property.

Ms. Catala tried to allay the dis-senters’ fears, saying the change will only streamline the current process. The county is trying to add an economic engine element tool to its abilities. If a project is not in compliance with the ordinance, she said, it will not be allowed. “This is a really good thing,” she told a small group of dissenters af-ter the meeting.

Hendry County Commission Chairman Karson Turner also tried to soothe the Seminoles’ fears. He

The county commission voted to pur-chase a second motor for the Fort Denaud Bridge as a back up for the problem-prone swing bridge. The new $29,000 motor needs to be and requires the county to pay 50 per-cent down. The board approved 5-0.

Strategic PlanCounty Administrator Charles Chapman

delivered a draft of his 2014-16 Hendry Coun-ty Government Strategic Plan to the board to review, asking for feedback. The document identifi es four strategic priorities: economy (covering items like sales tax framework and strategies for sustainable business develop-

ment and expansion); environment (main-taining systems of roads, etc., supporting the Economic Development Council, etc); qual-ity of life (providing essential services, rec-reation, public safety, etc.); and governance (establishing a core of transparency, acces-sibility, a culture of performance, retaining and attracting a skilled workforce, etc.).

Jail, court issuesCommissioner Janet Taylor asked that

the board, along with the Public Safety Coordinating Committee, make a visit to the jail and also meet with the sheriff and State Attorney to discuss low prosecution fi gures. Commissioner Turner agreed, say-

ing the county needs to “hold some people accountable.”

In other business:- The board voted to demolish the recy-

cling center. Due to the county’s inter local agreement with Lee County, the facility is no longer needed. After being demolished, the site will be used to store recycling containers and the household hazardous waste center.

- The board plans to honor the county’s public works employees at a future date, recognizing National Public Works Week May 18-24.

- Approved county administrator to attend the Leadership Florida Class if he is chosen. However, he will be expected to pay his own travel and per diem. The county will pay the cost of the program some $5,000. Commis-sioner Taylor was the lone dissenter, saying she felt the taxpayers should not pay for it.

- The next regular county commission meeting will be Tuesday, April 8, at 5 p.m. in Clewiston City Hall.

said the county’s intention is to set up a system of standards to cover all economic development. He noted that developers will still have to abide by state and federal envi-ronmental rules and apply for all the normal permits.

Any future projects will still have to come back to the county for approval, he told the group.

County Administrator Charles Chapman said there is still a lot to discuss, the county wants to keep natural areas wild and to pre-vent rural sprawling.

As the commissioner representing the Reservation, Commissioner Turner said he would reach out to the Tribe to try to come to a better understanding of what the coun-ty would like to see happen in that area. Tribal representative Frank Billie Jr. seemed to doubt it would make any difference, but invited the commissioner to their commu-nity meetings anyway.

At the end of the discussion, Com-missioner Don Davis moved to adopt the amendment with Commissioner Dar-rell Harris’ second, The board passed the amendment to the 2011 rezone, 5-0.

The power company did not have a rep-resentative at the meeting but according to FPL’s Ten Year Power Plant Site Plan 2013-2022:

It is the Company’s intent to continue to conduct its business in an environmentally responsible manner. Accordingly, Florida Power & Light Company will:

• Comply with the spirit and intent, as well as the letter of, environmental laws, regulations, and standards;

• Incorporate environmental protection and stewardship as an integral part of the design, construction, operation, and main-tenance of our facilities;

• Encourage the wise use of energy to minimize the impact on the environment;

• Communicate effectively on environ-mental issues; and

• Conduct periodic self-evaluations and report performance.

Joe Frank spoke on behalf of the Tribe, saying they are fi ghting this power plant on behalf of their families as well as themselves - to ensure that they can live as they wish in the future. The future,” he said, “will always tell the truth.”

istrative leave from the Hendry County Sher-iff ’s Offi ce following the March 5 incident.

According to the arrest report, Ms. Bartley said Harrynarine had been acting “strange,” laughing for no reason in a “creepy” way. She said she had never seen him act that way and was concerned that he “was about to fl ip out.” She said she tried to get Har-rynarine to stop the car so she and her son could get out, but Harrynarine would just laugh. She grabbed the steering wheel in an attempt to get him to pull over, but he hit her in the face. She was unsure if it was with his fi st or his elbow. She tried a few more times to grab the steering wheel but he hit her in the face and laughed again. She began to wave her hands out the window to get other drivers’ attention. She said Harrynarine hit her in the face so hard she saw a blur and noticed she was bleeding.

Eventually, she got the attention of an-other driver, who pulled in front of them and slammed on his breaks, forcing Harrynarine to slow down and pull off the road. At that point she yelled for her son to get out of the vehicle and they ran to the other vehicle for assistance.

The report further states that the other driver, Zachary R. Kamp, 29, said the Har-rynarine vehicle swerved into his lane and almost hit his vehicle. Kamp pulled in front of Harrynarine and they both came to a stop. He said he heard a woman scream “help” and “get off of me.” Kamp was ap-proaching their vehicle when the pair came

to him. He said there was blood on Ms. Bar-tley’s face and he called the sheriff ’s offi ce. The mother and son waited by the Kamp vehicle, while Harrynarine stayed inside his. Kamp said he did not witness anyone being physical to anyone and that his wife didn’t see anything because he told her to stay in the vehicle when he got out.

The boy told Deputy Nardi that Harry-narine was being “scary;” was yelling and driving fast and wouldn’t pull over when his mother asked him to. According to the boy’s statement, when his mother grabbed the steering wheel Harrynarine punched her in the face a total of fi ve to seven times and he saw blood coming from his mother’s face.

Harrynarine was placed in double-locked handcuffs and placed in a patrol vehicle. He was transported to the Charlotte County Jail by Deputy Gonzales CCSO.

Because the couple has been dating for over three years and reside together, the charge is Felony Battery (domestic).

EMS tended to Ms. Bartley’s injuries and she was transported to Lee Memorial Hos-pital where she got stitches. According to Deputy Nardi’s report, she did not want to provide a sworn recorded statement and continued to tell the deputy that it was not Harrynarine’s normal behavior. She felt it was a result of the March 5 shooting incident in LaBelle that left 23-year-old Eddy Barrios dead as well as Harrynarine and three other Hendry County deputies on administrative leave.

Accelerated Readers Night at Barron Library

On March 25, 2014, Hendry County Dep-uties followed up on a complaint of Animal Cruelty in the County Line Trailer Park.

Deputies originally received the com-plaint on March 23, 2014, when it was re-ported that 29-year-old Gene Harris may be responsible for the death of a dog belonging to a former girlfriend.

Deputies arrived on scene and found the dog hanging in a tree.

Witnesses reported that Harris was an-gry at his former girlfriend and took her dog onto the roadway, slammed it onto the road, then hung it from a tree.

Witnesses stated they called out to Har-ris, asking him what he was doing. Harris then reportedly ran from the area.

On March 27, 2014, Sgt. J. Olvera went to the home of Gene Harris. Sgt. Olvera did

speak with Harris at that time and he was

placed under arrest.

Upon making contact with Harris, a mari-

juana plant was noticed next to him.

When questioned about the marijuana

plant Harris reportedly admitted to fi nding it

in the trailer park, digging it up and taking

it home.

He then went on to tell the Deputy he put

the plant in a pot and fertilized it. Harris was

then transported to the Hendry County Jail.

Harris was charged with Cruelty to an

Animal and Producing Marijuana. Harris is

currently being held in the Hendry County

Jail on $10,000 bond.
