BUNNELL, Fla. — Alan Jaramillo-Hernandez, 17, of Live Oak, who was arrested by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office in September 2025 in connection with a series of thefts and armed burglaries in western Flagler County, has been convicted and sentenced.
On March 4, Jaramillo-Hernandez pleaded guilty on 12 felony charges, including five punishable by life. Following his plea, Circuit Judge Dawn Nichols sentenced him to five years in a Florida Department of Corrections prison, followed by 10 years of probation. Jaramillo-Hernandez was 16 at the time of the crimes but was charged as an adult.
The incidents occurred during the overnight hours of Aug. 28–29, 2025, when Jaramillo-Hernandez and three other suspects targeted approximately 15 properties along County Roads 305, 302, 140, 2006 and 15, as well as Quarter Horse Lane and Garden Lane. The suspects broke into vehicles and garages, stealing five firearms, cash, purses, and other valuables.
Jaramillo-Hernandez ordered to pay restitution to multiple victims. He must also have no contact with the other defendants, including his brother, during his probationary term. He will be subject to conditions including a nighttime curfew.
“This was a tough but fair sentence for serious crimes that terrorized our residents,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “Five years in prison is accountability, and the 10 years of probation that follow comes with strict restrictions that will keep this offender under close supervision. We will continue working with our law enforcement partners and the State Attorney’s Office to make sure criminals who come to Flagler County to victimize our community are held responsible.”
Among the four suspects arrested in connection with the string of burglaries, Jaramillo-Hernandez is the first to be convicted. The cases for the other three suspects — Lucas Rebolledo, Dwayne Ryan, and Angel Jaramillo-Hernandez — remain pending.
Jaramillo-Hernandez is currently being held at the Volusia County jail, which has a facility for youthful offenders, awaiting transfer to FDC custody.
