Detectives say Brandon Albritton drove the other suspects to the victim's home with the intention of getting marijuana.

A 20-year-old man is now the fourth suspect arrested in a Saturday's Palm Terrace home invasion and robbery.

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office arrested and charged Brandon Albritton, of no reported address, with one count of being a principle to a home invasion with a weapon.

During the investigation of the Jan. 5 robbery, detectives received information from the other suspects the identity and involvement of Albritton, whose role the defendants said, was to drive them to the victim's house, Chad Strickland, to get marijuana, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Suspects Denico Stewart, 20, Anthony Garruto, 21 and Jarrett Bennett, 21, were all arrested and charged Saturday, Jan. 5 for the home invasion and robbery, according to the sheriff's office.

Mark, this simply makes absolutely no sense at all. Matter of fact, It's 'safer' to back into a spotRead More than pulling forward. Mark, prior to backing in a spot, you already have a full visual of in front of you. Then, as you go to leave,. it's much safer to pull out, than to back out. Mark, you have this wrong pal and I'd love to see the data which lead you to believe that it's dangerous to back into a spot, versus pulling into it. I'm going to challenge you on this one Mark, and will do so when I go to court when I purposely get a ticket.

Does the convenience of reading a license plate supersede the safety of backing in and then headingRead More out?

Maybe not. I agree on the safety issue. The question needs to be, does the need of the police to beRead More able to read the plates supersede the safety concern? To be sure, there will be the usual crowd complaining about government (any government) intrusion, yada, yada, but that's the point that needs to be settled. If the police would agree that seeing the plates isn't necessary, then the entire issue would go away.

Try accepting that it was their time to go. No matter the way or the time, what will be will be.Read More It's not about blaming or getting "justice", death always happens when it is meant to...there are no accidents, only the circumstances and means that come into play to assist the transition of those who are leaving this world, in order for them to reach the next. Your grief is understandable, I am sorry for your great loss.
