A West Boca Raton community was jolted today when one of its residents was nabbed by the cops, slapped with multiple felony charges related to a brazen carjacking incident. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office threw the book at Darvin Pinales, 25, a resident of Boca Falls, a gated slice of suburbia normally undisturbed by such disturbances.
Charged with two counts each of carjacking and flaunting a firearm or other deadly weapon, Pinales also faces a fleeing-the-cops charge and one for brandishing iron while already under indictment, according to BocaNewsNow.com. The 25-year-old was carted off to jail on a $50,000 bond, but no bond has been set for the carjacking rap. A report on the incident is still being hashed out by authorities.
The once-peaceful backdrop of Clearfalls Drive got a shot of drama when Pinales, of the 12300 block, allegedly took to a life of crime that came to a head near Boca Del Mar Drive and Palms Way. Booked now for the fourth time by the boys in green, his rap sheet reads like a crime junkie's digest, with earlier busts including assault and child cruelty, as recorded by the sheriff's brass.
Reports from the local news outlet suggest that Darvin Pinales didn't just snag a car; with a no-nonsense approach, he added a high-speed chase to his latest caper, playing a risky game of cat and mouse with law enforcement through the streets of Boca Raton. Holding Pinales against the ropes, deputies enforced the law with an iron fist, not foolish enough to let a suspended license slide unnoticed.
While the community catches its breath and the wheels of justice begin to turn, the details of Pinales's alleged venture into grand transportation theft remain under wraps as officials continue their investigation. Residents now are left to wonder about the unseen fault lines running beneath their manicured lawns and pristine pools, exposed by this sudden storm of lawlessness that BocaNewsNow.com relayed with grim regularity.
