County Sheriff’s Office detectives are seeking information concerning the
whereabouts of a suspect wanted for armed burglary, kidnapping, aggravated
assault, aggravated stalking, and domestic battery. The suspect, identified as Filiberto Martinez, AKA Florentino Martinez-Hernandez, DOB 9/12/72, broke into 100 Mosley Road in Lake Alfred around 2:00 a.m. on August 8, 2002. Martinez pulled a female victim (his ex-girlfriend) from bed and threatened her with a knife. The victim, in fear for her life, agreed to go with the suspect — he then put the knife down and pulled the victim outside. Neighbors
helped the victim get away from Martinez and called the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. Martinez fled on foot when Sheriff’s deputies arrived on-scene.
