Multiple Lake Clarke Shores residents used the public-comment period to raise safety and quality-of-life concerns about a single property at 7306 Clark Road. Speakers said the house appears to be operating as a multi-occupancy or transient facility with frequent activity, loud gatherings, and a perceived risk to neighbors.
Vernon Jones, who identified himself as a private investigator contracted by a bonds company, told the council he has been surveilling the property and said an individual named Adrian Rogers — described by Jones and others as a man with North Carolina warrants — may be present. Jones said, “Once we find him, we’ll take him into custody, and we will directly extradite him to the state of North Carolina.”
Police Chief England and other staff responded in the status report that to date the department had three calls for service tied to that address and that Florida officers cannot act on a non-extraditable out-of-state warrant in the absence of a local or extraditable warrant. Chief England urged residents to call 911 or the police non-emergency number immediately when incidents occur so officers can respond, investigate and create an official record.
Residents also raised concerns about possible prostitution and public bonfires, overcrowding beyond the home’s original design, and vacation-rental activity. Council and staff advised those with specific complaints to meet with the town manager and town attorney and to provide documentation; the manager agreed to follow up and distribute contact information for staff follow-up.
No enforcement action or ordinance change was approved at the meeting; the police and manager will continue to monitor, encourage reporting of incidents, and work with residents to gather evidence and pursue civil or criminal remedies if warranted.
