Sarasota News Leader September 20, 2013 Page 84 MAN RE-ARRESTED AFTER TRYING TO ESCAPE FROM POLICE OFFICERS A 27-year-old Sarasota man who tried to escape from a Sarasota Police Department vehicle taking him to the North County Jail was detained and immediately rearrested on Sept. 16, the Police Department has reported. About 6:45 a.m. on Sept. 16, officers were dispatched to the intersection of Second Street and Central Avenue in Sarasota, a news release says, where a passerby alerted them to a person sleeping on a bench in front of the Selby Public Library. The officers awoke Brandon R. Kesti, described in the report as a transient, and asked him for identification. He could not provide any, the report says. Then he gave the officers a false name. When one of the officers ran a check on that name, the report says, no record could be found.
