- The Alachua County Sheriff's Office hosted a scam prevention press conference Tuesday, partnering with Elder Options to provide more information about these types of crimes in the community.
The panel featured Sheriff Chad Scott, Captain Steve Maynard, Detective Travis Parsons, Deputy Cary Gallop and Elder Options elder abuse project coordinator Leslie Andrews.
ACSO projects nearly $8.7 million will be lost to fraud by the end of 2026. Elders, specifically, are targeted as a vulnerable group. In the numbers as of June, elders lost 51% of the total $4,340,247.29.
The panel said that the group of community members over the age of 60 can be devastated by scams, potentially losing life savings with less time to get back on their feet.
Arrest or jury duty warrant and romance scams are just a few common approaches detectives have seen recently.
“The reality is that scams aren’t just increasing in number. They’re becoming ...

- Description
- The vendor tables are gone. The speaker stage has been cleared. The Bigfoot shirts, quilts and alleged footprint casts have been packed away.
But the question that filled a convention hall at the World Equestrian Center still lingers in Ocala: What if something is out there?

For one day, a venue known for horses became a gathering place for people drawn to a different kind of track — the kind they believe may be left in mud, sand or deep woods.

But the event’s lasting story is not only about whether a large, hairy creature has avoided definitive proof. It is about the people who keep looking, the businesses that grow around the search and the relief some attendees say they fe...
