A former Poinciana horse stable owner serving a life sentence for the sexual battery and molestation of his step-grandchildren, was charged last week with trying to hire a “hitman” to commit murder. Agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement served an arrest warrant on Dec. 17 at Gulf Correctional Institution charging inmate Loomes Wheeler with six counts of solicitation to commit murder. Wheeler, a millionaire who owned Horse World stables on Poinciana is serving a life sentence for capitol sexual battery and lewd and lascivious molestation. While in prison, Wheeler tried to hire a hitman to kill the assistant state attorney and law enforcement officers who worked on his original case, along with the judge who presided over his trial. “Trial court judges preside over complex and often difficult cases. While the public might believe judges often receive threats to their safety or the safety of their families, fortunately that event is actually quite rare,” said Ninth Judicial Circuit Chief Judge Fred Lauten. “On the few occasions when judges have been threatened, law enforcement, including the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Orange and Osceola County Sheriff’s office, the Orlando Police Department and other municipal police departments have treated any threat very seriously and diligently work with the court system to investigate threats. We are grateful to them for their conscientious work to ensure that judges remain safe and secure.” Read More. |
