A woman wanted on a warrant was arrested after a standoff Wednesday at a home in The Villages.
Residents of the Escandido Villas near Savannah Center said late in the afternoon they saw the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office’s SWAT team arrive at a home at 1404 Azteca Loop. The sheriff’s office informed the public that a woman had barricaded herself in the home and refused to cooperate with law enforcement. The standoff ended early that night.
The woman has been identified as 53-year-old Marjorie Martinka, who listed her address at the Azteca Loop home. The Pennsylvania native was wanted on a Lake County warrant charging her with violating her probation on a charge of possession of methamphetamine. When she spotted the deputies approaching, Martinka locked herself in the rear patio area of the courtyard villa.
After she surrendered, she was booked without bond at the Sumter County Detention Center…
