Illegal Aliens Get Arrested for Looting in Lee County

LEE COUNTY, Florida -- They came into the US illegally and evidently figured the free benefits and transportation wasn't enough for them, so they used the opportunity of Hurricane Ian to burglarize the unoccupied homes of Florida residents who sought safety from the storm.

Lee County officials are warning people that not all post-Hurricane Ian looters may get off as lucky as the scumcrumpet scavengers they caught and arrested this week, some of whom are here in the US illegally.

Señor Omar Mejia Ortiz, 33, and pretty little señorita Valerie Celeste Salcedo Mena, 26, were arrested, along with 20-year-olds Brandon Mauricio Araya and Steve Eduardo Sanchez Araya. All four were arrested for burglary of an unoccupied structure during a state of emergency, according to online jail records.

A press conference was held by Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno on Tuesday where he spoke about the spike in looting and illlegal scavenging after the hurricane moved out.

"As far as looting — we have law and order in Lee County. We have law and order in our great state of Florida, and we always will," Marceno said. "Right now, we have four cases of looting, and I'm proud to say they're behind bars where they belong. Our residents are going to be safe."

The sheriff also said that three of the four looters are illegally in the US. "All three of these subjects are here illegally in this country. Robert Mena, Brandon Araya , Stephen Araya — all arrested for stealing bottles on Fort Myers Beach during the hurricane. They were located and arrested. And I'm going to tell I'm not tolerating it again." [I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.]

There is anything more lowlife than looting after a devastating hurricane other than killing babies in the  womb.

Marceno warned the public that not all looters will get away with their lives--some will probably be killed by their lootees. 

"I'm not playing. We're not playing. We have law and order and great residents will be safe and secure. We've had arrests on these incidents," Marceno continued. "You might walk in. You'll be carried out."

Ortiz was also charged with petit larceny, while the other three suspects were charged with grand larceny.

It is unclear exactly when and where the burglaries took place and what was in those bottles, but potential looters better beware.

BREAKING: at least 14 dead, many injured in large tornado in Ala.

At least 14 people are confirmed dead and "many, many" injured by a large tornado that destroyed several southeast Alabama homes Sunday, officials said.

WSFA reported that the Lee County sheriff said the fatalities occurred during at least two tornadoes that hit the county.

An 8-year-old girl in Beauregard is among the dead, according to the news outlet.

Bill Harris, the Lee County Coroner, said on Sunday evening that he expects more bodies to be found and the number of deaths to rise as search crews comb through rubble and debris. About 150 first responders were called to the scene.

“We’ve still got people being pulled out of rubble. We’re going to be here all night,” Harris said.

Alabama Emergency Management Agency spokesman Gregory Robinson said no deaths have been reported in the state beyond Lee County.

The deaths and injuries occurred in the community of Beauregard in Lee County, an area in the eastern part of the state near the Georgia line, Rita Smith with the Lee County Emergency Management Agency told The Associated Press.

Smith said multiple homes have been destroyed or damaged in Beauregard, a community about 60 miles east of Montgomery.

Meteorologist Meredith Wyatt with the Birmingham, Alabama office of the National Weather Service said radar and video evidence showed what looked like a large tornado crossing the area near Beauregard shortly after 2 p.m. Sunday.

The Weather Channel reported that nearly 26,000 customers were without power in Georgia early Sunday evening; another 16,500 had no electricity in Alabama.

Numerous tornado warnings were posted across parts of Alabama and Georgia on Sunday as a severe storm system churned across the Deep South.

This is a developing story and was reported by AP.
