On October 8, 2026, at approximately 6:35 p.m., Fort Myers Police Officers Cole and Calisi were on patrol near the intersection of Winkler Avenue and Central Avenue when they observed an individual crossing the roadway outside of a designated crosswalk.

As officers attempted to make contact with the individual, identified as Kilda Chiloquin (47), they observed him holding a handgun and chambering a live round.

Officers immediately drew their department-issued fi****ms and issued loud verbal commands. Chiloquin then turned toward the officers and pointed the loaded handgun directly at them.

After repeated verbal commands, Chiloquin dropped the fi***rm and was safely taken into custody without further incident.

Officers recovered two fi****ms during the incident.

During the investigation, officers observed signs of alcohol impairment, and Chiloquin admitted to consuming alcohol prior to the incident.

Chiloquin was arrested and transported to the Lee County Jail on the following charges:

* Aggravated Assault on Specified Personnel
* Use of a Fi***rm While Under the Influence of Alcohol

Despite having a loaded fi***rm pointed directly at them, both officers remained focused and brought the situation to a safe conclusion without a single shot being fired. Their actions reflect the training, discipline, and dedication our officers bring to protecting the Fort Myers community every day.

On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at approximately 8:49 p.m., Fort Myers Police Officers responded to a business located at 3604 Palm Beach Boulevard after receiving reports of a man armed with a large knife.

While responding, Officer Smith located a man matching the suspect’s description riding an electric scooter on Veronica Shoemaker Boulevard. The man, identified as Leroy Johnathan Tarver (35), was stopped for operating the scooter without the required lighting.

During the encounter, Tarver lifted his shirt, revealing two large kitchen-style knives concealed in his waistband. He complied with officers' commands and placed both knives on the ground.

Tarver told officers he had retrieved the knives and returned to the business to confront another man who allegedly pushed him earlier that evening.

Further investigation revealed that Tarver had reportedly entered the business aggressively, displaying a large knife.

A criminal history check also revealed Tarver had multiple prior felony convictions.

Tarver was arrested and charged with:

-Possession of a Weapon or Am******on by a Convicted Felon
-Improper Exhibition of a Dangerous Weapon

Tarver was transported to the Lee County Jail.
