Man arrested on multiple charges in domestic incident

A 48-year-old Marathon man was arrested Sunday on battery and weapons charges after brandishing a gun.

Jan Hans Gasperik was charged with robbery, aggravated assault with a firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm and battery.

A 53-year-old male victim told Deputies that Gasperik entered his residence on the 100 block of West 63rd Street at approximately 8:10 p.m. Also at the residence was Gasperik’s wife. Gasperik and his wife are known to Deputies from previous encounters with law enforcement. The male stated Gasperik entered his residence without his permission and pulled a $500 gold necklace from his neck. The male victim followed Gasperik outside and a fight ensued. Gasperik and his wife left and the male victim went to the American Legion.

The male victim received a phone call from a witness at his residence that Gasperik returned with a handgun looking for him and was now en route to the American Legion. The male victim stated Gasperik tapped a handgun on the glass of the American Legion front doors and then left the scene after he was denied entry.

Multiple Deputies responded to Gasperik’s residence on the 500 block of 63rd Court where they heard a female scream. Deputies took positions at various locations around the residence. They observed Gasperik inside the house with a handgun. They also observed Gasperik push his wife.

Deputies ordered Gasperik and his wife out of the residence. Both exited, but Gasperik exited only after multiple commands were given.

The handgun was found in the house.

Gasperik was taken to jail.

Man arrested after fleeing Deputies

A 42-year-old Naples, Florida man was arrested Sunday after a brief pursuit on U.S. 1.

Carlos Borromeo Martinez Martinez was charged with DUI and fleeing and eluding.

A southbound Mazda 3 sedan was clocked initially traveling 81 mph in a 45 mph zone on U.S. 1 near Mile Marker 76 at approximately 2:36 a.m. Deputies attempted a traffic stop with their lights and sirens activated, but the driver, later identified as Martinez Martinez, did not stop. The Mazda failed to stay in its lane while maintaining speeds between 50 mph and 60 mph.

Deputies successfully deployed spike strips and the Mazda stopped near Mile Marker 63. Additional Deputies and U.S. Border Patrol arrived as backup.

Martinez Martinez was taken to jail.
