At large
On Sunday, August 3, just after midnight, Boca Raton Police officers responded to a report of a robbery at Sanborn Square, 72 North Federal Highway.
Darren Pietri met officers in the parking lot of the police department and told them he left his backpack with Trevor Clark at Sanborn Square while he made a quick trip to the Seven-11. When he returned he had to search for Clark and when he found him, Clark emptied the backpack then punched him in the head. Pietri had no injuries.
As officers continued the investigation, they located Clark at Boca Raton Regional Hospital where he was receiving treatment for a possible broken nose. Clark refuted Pietri’s version of events and told officers he had been sleeping in Sanborn Square, using his backpack as a pillow, when Pietri approached him and accused him of stealing the backpack. Pietri snatched the backpack and began punching him in the face, then walked away.
Officers arrested Pietri and charged him with aggravated battery and robbery. Boca Raton Police officers previously arrested Pietri in February for domestic battery and on April 30 for two separate incidents in which he stole a bicycle.
