The weekly list of featured fugitives has been updated by the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office. This week’s changes include the arrest of one suspect and the addition of a new one.

Deputies arrested 30-year-old Jacob Kayne Thursday on charges of grand theft, trafficking in stolen property and giving false information to a pawnbroker. He is being held without bond at the Manatee County Jail.

According to a release, Aaron Martin, 23, is wanted for sale of fentanyl.

Authorities are still looking for five other suspects:

  • Heather Lawrence, 34, is wanted for violation of probation and uttering a forged instrument.
  • Amy Martel, 40, is wanted for contempt of court and possession of drug paraphernalia.
  • Brian Collins, 33, is wanted for violation of court intervention and possession of a controlled substance.
  • Mustapha Muhammad, 29, is wanted for trafficking in fentanyl.
  • Patrion Lavender, 19, is wanted for shooting into an occupied dwelling.

Anyone with information about these fugitives can call the toll-free anonymous tip line at (866) 634-8477 (TIPS) or submit an e-TIP online at www.ManateeCrimeStoppers.com. Tipsters are eligible for rewards of up to $3,000. These fugitives are wanted by law enforcement as of press time. Apprehensions and arrests may occur to change the status of fugitives.
