Many of our residents are familiar with our mailman Gilbert Gonales.   He was very well-liked, and suddenly he disappeared last spring.  The post office would not give any answers to his disappearance but now I found out where he went.

He’s sitting in jail accused of lewd and lascivious battery on a minor under 12 years old.   I don’t know the details, but here is a link to the page at BSO so you can know as much as I know.   BSO –  Arrest Search – Gilbert Gonales .  I have no idea where he was arrested or who he harmed, as I could not find a story in any of the papers.  If anyone finds out anything, please let me know or write a comment under this article.

If you want to read more about what “lewd and lascivious battery on a minor under 12 means, here are the Florida Statutes 794.011 under which he is charged.
