Rowdy House Party In Davenport Leads To Fatal Crash; 6 Arrested

DAVENPORT, FL — The Polk County Sheriff's Office and the Florida Highway Patrol are continuing to investigate an unruly party in Davenport Saturday morning that resulted in a crash that killed one person.

According to Polk Sheriff Grady Judd, around 1 a.m. deputies received a call about several people fighting outside a home on Broad Oak Drive in the Sol Terra community of Davenport. When they arrived, they didn't find a fight. Instead, they found a large party with more than 150 adults and teens milling in the street and neighborhood yards and another 75 people crammed inside a rental home.

Deputies said they learned the party had been publicized on social media.

When an ambulance was called to take a heavily intoxicated person to the hospital, deputies tried to disperse the crowd to clear a path for the emergency vehicle.

The lieutenant on duty parked his patrol vehicle and got out to help clear the way for the ambulance but the occupants of a black 2019 Range Rover refused to roll down the heavily tinted windows, Judd said. The lieutenant then went to the back of the Range Rover and shined his light on the tag noting that it was an expired temporary tag.

At that point, Judd said the driver of the Range Rover intentionally rammed the lieutenant's agency vehicle parked in front of the Range Rover and fled.

The lieutenant reported by radio that he suspected the Range Rover was stolen. A nearby Polk deputy spotted the Range Rover pulling into a 7-Eleven store on Ronald Reagan Parkway and activated his emergency lights to pull it over but the Range Rover left the convenience store at a high rate of speed.

The deputy lost sight of the Range Rover as it headed down Marigold Avenue into Osceola County. When he caught up with it at the intersection of Marigold Avenue and Peabody Road, the Range Rover had driven around three cars stopped at the four-way stop sign and crashed into a Honda Civic, killing a 27-year-old man inside.

The deputy detained one of the occupants of the Range Rover who was injured in the crash and taken to the hospital for treatment. Deputies who arrived as backup took another man into custody. A third man ran into the woods and was apprehended by a sheriff's K-9. Judd said there may have been a fourth person in the Range Rover as well.

Judd said Polk sheriff's detectives and the Florida Highway Patrol troopers are trying to determine who was driving the Range Rover, which was confirmed stolen out of Martin County in September. Inside the Range Rover was an assault-type rifle, he said.

The three people in the Range Rover who were arrested are Jarquez Malique Page, 23, and Angel Burgos Rosello, 31, both of Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Alaric Shango McFarlane, 20. of Kissimmee.

Page was arrested previously in Fayetteville for possession of a stolen firearm, breaking and entering a vehicle, felony larceny, possession of stolen goods, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, manufacturing marijuana and maintaining a vehicle for drug sales.

Rosello was previously arrested in North Carolina for trafficking in MDMA (ecstasy) and maintaining a vehicle for drug sales and in Osceola County for possession of marijuana with intent to sell and violation of parole.

McFarlane was previously arrested in Osceola County for vehicle theft, battery, burglary, reckless driving, operating a vehicle without a valid license and violation of parole.

All three face multiple charges from the highway patrol and sheriff's office.

The Polk sheriff's office also made three arrests at the out-of-control party, Judd said, including Dovensky Delpe, 21, and a teen girl who were charged with hosting an open house party.

Delpe's criminal history includes a 2021 arrest for battery. He's additionally charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Mayra Tirado, 18, was also arrested at the party for battery on a law enforcement officer.

"What started out as an out-of-control house party ended up with the death of an innocent person when the really hardcore criminals fled from the deputies and were ultimately lost in the pursuit," Judd said. "It outrages me because this is behavior that is outside of the norms of society. They don’t care. They do what they want when they want. They ignore everybody. They ignore law enforcement and they resist us at every turn."
