>> I responded to the area of 718 N. Shore Dr in reference to a possible kidnapping. Dispatch advised they were recelving multiple calls in reference to a W/M in the back of a silver Chevy Silverado pick-up truck screaming that he was being kidnapped. Dispatch also received a call from the victim who was in the back of the Silverado, stating that he was being kidnapped. It should be noted that the callers observed the truck traveling at a high rate of speed both southbound and back northbound on Federal Hwy. As I was responding to the call, I observed a silver Chevy Silverado bearing FL/JCLJ71 turn southbound onto Federal Hwy from Shore Dr with what appeared to be a W/M in the bed of the truck holding on as it was driving recklessly. A felony stop was initiated on truck at the 1400 block of N. Federal Hwy.
Upon arrival, both the driver and rear occupant of the vehicle were detained from the felony stop. I made contact with the W/M that was in the bed of the truck and identified him as Benjamin Shasho. Benjamin was placed into the rear of my patrol vehicle and Mirandized utilizing a department-issued Miranda Warning card. Benjamin provided a sworn statement via BWC.
Benjamin stated that he was cleaning his boat which is parked at the residence of 718 N. Shore Dr with a water hose that’s shared between the boat slips at this location. Benjamin advised that he had put Acid on his boat to clean it and stated that a W/M (later identified as Herbert Dollinger) took the water hose while he was applying the wax. Benjamin stated that at first, he allowed Herbert to use the water hose for a few minutes before he needed it back to wash the acid off of his boat. Benjamin stated that when he asked for the hose back, Herbert became aggressive and told Benjamin and his father (identified as Darren Shasho) to “go f—k themselves”. This led to a verbal argument between all parties. Benjamin then stated that he went to the rear of 718 N. Shore Dr to get another hose, and when he returned to the front of the residence, he observed Herbert utilizing a drill to insert screws into the tires of his Toyota Tacoma that was parked at the front of the residence. Benjamin confronted Herbert and stated that Herbert then took the drill (which had a long, skinny, and sharp phillip’s head drill bit) and raised it above his head as if he was going to hit Benjamin in the face with it. Benjamin stated that he was in fear of his life and reacted in self-defense by pushing Herbert to create distance between the two, which resulted in Herbert falling to the ground. Benjamin stated that Herbert started to kick at Benjamin as he was on the ground, before getting up and retreating back to his Chevy Silverado, tossing the drill in the back left corner of the pickup truck bed, and getting into his vehicle. Benjamin stated that he attempted to get a photo of the license plate on the truck when Herbert attempted to drive away from the scene. Benjamin then stated that he “instinctually” jumped into the bed of Herberts Silverado. Benjamin stated that he stood in the bed of the truck as Herbert began driving recklessly around the neighborhood at approximately 60 miles per hour. Benjamin stated that he called 911 while in the rear of the truck. It should be noted that I did not observe any injuries on Benjamin, and he denied all medical treatment when asked by BBFD…
