Officials Discover Man alias and Work Release Escape
Sheriff’s officials said a burglary in progress led to the arrest of a man who gave an alias. Michael Beavers, 32, is identified as Kenneth W. Sharp, 26, of Kansas City, Missouri, now a Florida work release escape suspect. Sharp was wanted since August by Florida for burglary. He faces felony burglary and misdemeanor criminal damage charges after a homeowner reported a break in and a stolen wristwatch. A wristwatch thrown along I-35 remains unrecovered. A Florida detainer keeps Sharp in custody once bond is posted or case resolved locally. Preliminary hearing set for next Wednesday.
