FL - Tracy Ocasio, 27, Orlando/Ocoee, 27 May 2009 - #2

TO posted on another blog that she was in a fight the night of 14 Apr at the Tap Room - no names were given in the posting - she apparently filed a report with police and got someone arrested.

JVH posted on his MySpace that he had been arrested and bailed out 19 Apr for something he didn't do and he was "p..ssed" - so that's a bit of a coincidence I think

I read at another blog (not allowed to be linked here) that Paul Hutto was arrested that night. Greg Toole was also arrested for failure to register as a SO. JVH was not present at the TR that night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Court records show Hataway has been behind bars in the past. His latest arrest was in April on charges of criminal mischief.

Two separate incidents. Alleged April 14 incident which TO describes in blog as having taken place outside Taproom, is rumored to initially have involved PHutto IIRC and another young woman, then subsequently involving TO who reported it to LE. It was determined JVH was not involved or present at the time. Subsequent April 19 documented criminal mischief involving JVH was a separate incident--for which charges were filed--that did not take place near Taproom, it was up on A.D. Mims Rd. Below is the account from Sentinel.

OCOEE - Authorities ended their search of a wooded area in Ocoee known for illegal dumping and gave few new details Thursday in their investigation into the disappearance of Tracy Ocasio.

Ocoee Police, however, did provide a details of an April incident involving James Hataway, the person of interest in the Ocasio case.

Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement confirmed that its Leads Tracking System -- one that compiles tips for specific cases -- is being used in the Ocasio investigation.

Hataway was arrested and charged with criminal mischief after a witness said he struck a Dodge van on A.D. Mims Road. The driver of the van was headed home early one morning when she spotted about 30 people crossing the road. Donnagh Robinson slowed to let the pedestrians cross in front of her van. While passing the group, she heard a bang.

Robinson's niece, Elizabeth Gall, also was in the car and identified Hataway as the man who struck the van.

"He punched the side of my truck," said Robinson, explaining that her vehicle's right side door remains damaged. She had hoped to collect money from Hataway to pay her insurance deductible.

"Now his butt is in jail. I know I'm not going to get my $500 deductible," Robinson said. "I never met the man before, and I never want to meet him again."

Hataway, 28, is at the Orange County Jail on the charge from the April 19 incident as well as a drug paraphernalia possession charge from Ocoee and a battery case from Seminole County involving another woman.

To get to the other side....? :crazy: (omg sorry I know, that was such a set-up tho lol!) I wondered the same thing.

:parrot:
LOL My first thought was they were all leaving the bar at the same time, but it still seems weird. Is there a bar in that area? Was 30 people an exaggeration? Was it a party or a meeting of sorts (did they all have shaved heads?)? :eek:

AD Mims Rd. parallels RR tracks. No bars AFAIK but looks like a large sports complex and definitely athletic fields (toward west end ~10700/10800 block). My guess is it was a bunch of people crossing at the same time after a game--as good an excuse as any to get drunk and rowdy, right... :rolleyes:

I met a friend of TO's during the search. She is a basket case over the fact she was at the TapRoom the night TO left with JH. She had spoken with JH that evening...She knows this guy from the BAR.... she said he is very charasmatic......she gave me her number and I do talk to her she calls me to talk in general....This girl is a mess and just needs someone to talk with she has a horrible family life. Another wonderful TES member I met lost a family member tragically and called the sheriff's office for this girl and they sent a counselor.....for anyone to talk because she is in no position to talk with a professional on her own.

If any of you guys have specific questions, please write them down and I will call this girl and ask her any questions you have about that night, or TO and their friendship. I will not be able to talk with her more than likely until Monday with the Holiday weekend. She is a very open person and is searching on her own with other friends of TO's.

Amylake, if you are local, call me and I will give you her number and maybe you guys can hook up.

Another report on second tank inspection. Quite a resume this guy has... evidently when he wasn't dredging ponds for debris or passing the time at illegal dump sites, he was cleaning septiic tanks.

Investigators said they focused on septic tanks because Hataway once had a job cleaning them. They also said he once told an acquaintance that a septic tank would be a good place to hide a body...

Since Ocasio's disappearance, investigators have searched an illegal dumping area he frequented and a computer belonging to his father.

Yes, a sporting event would explain it. It is always when I get the most drunk and rowdy enough to beat passing vehicles for no reason. :rolleyes: Who does this guy think he is?! His sense of entitlement goes beyond anything I have ever seen (except for CA and CA). Maybe they should put his photo next to Casey's in the dictionary.
 
Were you able to type this with a straight face?

(P.S. I know the question was sincere, but still ...)
LOL Honestly, until Kiki answered it...I never thought about it. I did get quite a good laugh tho! Hahahahaha~

Hello, Calilady~ I will send a pm to Chesterp so she will be certain to see this when she checks in next. We will do anything we can to help you and your family.

Our hearts go out to all of you and particularly her parents. It is why we do what we do here. We only want to help the victims of these senseless crimes and bring our missing home. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Hugs~
SS~
 
Message sent, Calilady~

Welcome to WS! I am so sorry it has to be under such circumstances. Since you are new here, you don't have pm privileges yet. (It requires a certain number of posts first.)
 
Calilady - I just wanted to tell you how sorry weblseuthers are for what has happened in the disappearance of Traci. I pray for Traci and her parents, they deserve answers, and no one should go through what they are suffering. I moved away from Orlando just last year after living there almost 22 years. It is a wonderful city, with some wonderful people, but sadly, the growth has also included a growth in crime. I will keep your family in my prayers.

I sent you a pm last night and asked that you get a mod to help you. I will do what you request to help you get in touch with the friend. She was at the command center and searched with us. She did speak with the Ocasio's while she was there.
