A week after he was mistakenly released from the Seminole County Jail, a man facing a new trial on charges of trying to kill his wife and state prison time for setting fire to her house was tracked to a Longwood motel. Seminole County deputy sheriffs took Gilberto Roman into custody without resistance about 6:30 p.m. 'We got several good tips, but it was good detective work that led us to the motel,' Seminole County Sheriff Don Eslinger said. Roman spent the first two nights after his mistaken release at a hotel in Fern Park. He had been staying at a Longwood hotel since Feb. 16. Tuesday morning, Roman got a drivers license in Sanford and bought a Mercury Marquis on Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando. Authorities had been looking for that car when they found one matching its description and with a temporary tag parked at the hotel. Authorities said Roman knew they were looking for him because they found a copy of Thursday's Orlando Sentinel story about him in the hotel room. It wasn't clear whether Roman would face any additional charges. 'That will be up to prosecutors,' Eslinger said. Roman, 47, was released from the jail Feb. 14 when workers misinterpreted paperwork and thought he no longer had any time to serve. |
