CHARLOTTE COUNTY - The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office picked up 17 year old Anthony Jerome Phillibert yesterday at the Department of Juvenile Justice in Ft. Myers.

He was taken to the Charlotte County Jail to be charged as an adult in an Apr. 24 armed home invasion robbery case.

This is the 10th arrest of Phillibert who has 28 booking records as a juvenile. Bond was set at $550,000.

Phillibert of 1373 Hinton St., Port Charlotte, was one of four Port Charlotte teens charged so far in the incident at a Murdock Circle Apartment.

They were arrested after a deputy stopped their vehicle; the driver stayed and four others fled.

The driver, Windsor Owen Walker, 18, 3154 Scranton St., was arrested after deputies found new boxes of tennis shoes, two 12-guage shotguns and 12 shotgun shells along with other items.

The shotguns were stolen Apr. 1 in a North Port burglary.

Chaz UrQuhart, 18, 17900 Murdock Circle, Kevin Alexander Reyes, 18, 20206 Rutherford Ave., and Phillibert were arrested later.

All four were charged with Armed Burglary of an Occupied Dwelling with Firearm, Grand Theft of a Stolen Firearm, and Use of a Firearm in Commission of a Felony.

Phillibert was additionally charged with Assault With Intent to Commit a Felony as he was the one Reyes said pointed the shotgun at the woman in her apartment.

Detectives said these arrests led to a major break in solving some 200 home burglaries in the Englewood, Gulf Cove and North Port areas.

Walker and Geoff Allen Milliken, 19, of 18426 Dreggers Ave., Port Charlotte, were arrested after they admitted to burglarizing homes and stole weapons, electronics, valuables, cash and many other items.

Detectives are still working on filing many more charges and make other arrests in this extensive home burglary ring.
