VOL. 88, NO. 20 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2011 50 CENTS Local Law Offi cer Ten Commandments Arrested for Armed Sexual Battery Monument to be Shared By Kathy Hilliard Throughout Florida Staff Writer

Th e Levy County Sheriff ’s Offi ce arrested one of its own Friday night, Nov. 12. Th e LCSO received a complaint of a sexual assault occurring on Th urs. Nov 11 in Morriston by Lt. Zachary Knight, 38, on a woman he had once dated. Knight, who lives in Williston, was at a friend’s house in Chiefl and when he was arrested. Knight has been involved in the martial arts fi eld and cage fi ghting competing at MMA events from 2006 to 2009 with a record of 3 wins, 4 losses, and no draws. According to Maj. Evan Sullivan it was reported to them that Knight was despondent and suicidal which was evidenced by a hose attached to the tailpipe of a vehicle when offi cers arrived at the home in Chiefl and where the arrest took place. When offi cers approached Knight to make the arrest he did not want to be handcuff ed so the arresting offi cers used a Taser to subdue him in order to avoid the need for extreme force due to Knight’s athletic condition and prowess from years of martial arts training. Th e Florida Department of Law Enforcement was immediately contacted after the complaint was fi led as the outside investigator of an employee of the LCSO. Upon receiving an arrest warrant from the Photo by René Moore FDLE, Knight was arrested for armed sexual battery, false imprisonment and aggravated assault and tampering with a victim.

Th e Conclusion Drusilla Wayne came riding up the sodden path out of the Waccasassa River swamp, then down along the hedge of briar to where the Leighton place stood. Th e homestead was severely weathered, though weeded now and made orderly and clean, despite the red, dry rust on the tin roofs of its house and barn. But stopping for a moment, she did not fi nd Lani and this disturbed her. She rode the property back down to the river before returning.

Drusilla called out, but did not hear a reply.

Th e back door stood open. Suddenly there was a sound of “Captain Agner,” he said fi nally, “how do you reckon he come to be so close as to kill that pounding hooves outside.

What’s the matter?” Drusilla called out. “I reckon so,” Enoch pondered. “Th is time we can thank God for the calm he stood.” No word formed on Lani’s lips. Her eyes rolled vaguely in the direction of her friend. Drusilla “Yes,” Drusilla continued, “and now Dr. Osborne tells Royce the weather service is reporting went to her immediately and saw then the blood in rivulets beneath a stocking wrapped and a hurricane out in the Gulf.

It was then that a sudden drumfi re of rain raced over the tin roof. Enoch went Agner snapped from where he now stood in the back door, his right hand obscured by the door immediately to the front porch and looked out over the parched okra patch in the gloaming. jamb.

Th ere he stood, lean, pock-faced, dressed in heavy black with his shirt buttoned at the neck, Where there was a gash-like dent in the roof tin, the rainwater poured as if from a spout. his cavalry-style hat without braid set back on his oily head. Agner’s voice cracked like a whip: Enoch went to a small shelf by the door and took up a clear bottle used for drinking while “I done the bandage. Th is done the damage,” he announced producing the vile, lifeless body working in the fi eld. He held it where the water poured out and fi lled it until brimming over, of a diamondback rattler fully fi ve feet in length.

Th at Hero was tied at his gate and had apparently been there for some time presented a curiosity he brought through the front door. Th e Last Week’s Crossword Last Week’s Word Search scent of milkweed boiled down for its extract greeted him fi rst, and then Drusilla’s voice calling to him from the alcove where Lani lay in her perspiration and delirium. “My God, what’s the matter Lani?” Enoch cried out as he all but stumbled toward her. Drusilla, just then wiping Lani’s brow with a wet rag replied, “Enoch, a rattler has struck her. A large one, but it did not manage to hit her squarely. She’ll make it through.” “Lord, Lord,” Enoch gasped from the bedside. “It can’t be!” “Captain Agner is the one that found her,” Drusilla off ered carefully. “Agner!” Drusilla looked up to see his face as the young man fl ushed, his eyes blue with fl ame. “He may well have saved Lani’s life, Enoch.” Later Lani would gain enough strength to tell most of what she remembered. What she did not tell was that she had seen Agner on the hill in the pines, watching as she had been tilting water from her bucket to the tiny okra settings. Th ese had been long dry weeks and each day she’d been working row upon row with her enameled, dented bucket scooping water from the tannin-stained trickle in the river bottom. She did as she always did upon spotting Agner up in the pines – she went inside. She did not worry Enoch with this detail, but said that when the snake struck from the briar beside the path, Agner must have been passing. He was there instantly it seemed and had killed Word Search the snake in a single shot with a pistol kept in his boot. He used her stockings then to make tourniquets above and below the bite. Inexplicably, only one fang had fully penetrated. Enoch cringed more when Lani told of Agner’s having drawn on the poisoned bite with his mouth than he did at his wife’s telling of the lightning strike of the diamondback. “Didn’t it rattle at you, Lani? Didn’t you get no warning?” he asked pitifully. “I don’t know,” she said in puzzlement. “I just know I was …was in a hurry, I reckon.” Late on the third day, Drusilla briefl y left Lani and later returned with her husband in their Packard. Th ey had brought with them Doctor Osborne from the mill. Royce Wayne off ered buoyant encouragement while the old doctor made his owlish examination. When he was fi nished, the doctor assured Enoch that what could be done had been done. Drinking water now would be important to keep Lani hydrated and fl ush her system of the snake’s poison. But she would survive. Wayne drove the doctor back to his apartment behind the offi ce and small ward the mill provided. Th ey had not been gone long when the headlights of Wayne’s car lit the Leighton’s gate again. An astonishing discovery had been made. Captain Agner was not more than a hundred yards down the road, dead, his neck broken. Th e ground about him was churned by the hooves of the frightened horse seen in the dense thicket nearby with its saddle askew. When Dr. Osborne had been told of the sequence of preceding events, he fashioned a theory that made sense according to Royce Wayne. Th e horse had run off when Agner had gone to retrieve the rattler to rectify any suspicion about his presence in the Leighton house. Osborne himself had once been on horseback when the mere scent of a rattler startled his mount. So he speculated that when Agner walked down to his horse and set about to mount him, the animal was panicked by the musty, dank scent of the snake still on his hands. It was as good a theory as any.
