A 31-year old The Villages, Florida man said to be occupying a home owned by his deceased grandfather and a former leasing agent for an apartment complex in the vast corporate-ruled retirement community has once again outshined older offenders in the Villages-News.com crime blotter with possibly his third arrest in under a year for vandalizing vehicles owned by his former boss Mike Hoopfer, though you might say that Jeremy Powell held back a bit after the first one.
Or held it in, as the registered Republican voter Powell shit on the roof of Mike Hoopfer’s car last year in what Hoopfer, a former Community Development District 13 supervisor and son of “powerful” Village Center Community District Board supervisor Bobby Hoopfer, said was “over a girl.” Powell was, as one might expect, fired from his job at the appropriately named Brownwood Lofts thereafter but the malice continued. On the second incident in December Powell went to Brownwood and damaged vehicles owned by Hoopfer and his brother Matt and has been out on $4,000 bond ever since. Villages-News.com does not have an arrest report for the most recent incident yet, but because the charges list “charges of driving under the influence and driving under the influence with property damage” it’s possible Powell might’ve rammed his car into the Hoopfer’s or some other property owned by them. Stay tuned for updates as this story continues to unfold.
