Security Guard Call Yields 3 Arrests


By JOE SEELIG

SEBRING — Three men were free on bond Tuesday after their arrests when a security guard reported seeing a suspicious light at Spring Lake Services late Friday, according to a Highlands County sheriff’s arrest report.

Arrested was James Franklin McNabb, 45, of Okeechobee, charged with possession of burglary tools with intent to use them and loitering or prowling.
Roger Dean Rushlo, 53, of 3710 Paradise Drive, Sebring, was charged with possession of burglary tools with intent to use them, loitering or prowling and possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana.

Neal Howard Buchanan, 34, of 4908 Briarcliff Ave., Sebring, was charged with loitering or prowling.
McNabb was free on $1,250 bail; Rushlo was free on $1,750 bail and Buchanan was free on $250 bail according to Highlands County Jail central records.
Sheriff’s deputy Kevin Awbrey reported that at about 11:43 p.m. Friday, he was called to West Deer Trail, in Sebring, responding to a call of a suspicious person with a flashlight at a commercial property.

On his arrival he discovered a blue Jeep parked behind a Dumpster near the end of the road. He called for assistance.
The three men walked out from behind a trash and bent metal rod pile. The three men were inconsistent in their stories and could not provide a justifiable reason for being there at that time of night, Awbrey reported.

McNabb was carrying a pair of pliers and the flashlight, “with the intent to use the tools to commit a burglary or trespass,” Awbrey wrote. Rushlo had pliers, a flashlight and leatherman tool as well as a half-smoked marijuana cigarette, according to the report.
