On New Year's Day 2023, Sarasota police responded to a report involving a man suspected of shoplifting a single can of Corona beer. Rather than making an arrest, officers released the man at the scene on the condition that he contact a specific number to enter a diversion program and avoid future charges or fines. These charges are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. An arrest is not a finding of guilt: that’s something for a court to decide.
