FHP, CCSO catch man wanted for deadly crash in April

ORANGE PARK – Clay County Sheriff deputies and the Florida Highway Patrol caught up to a man wanted in connection to a deadly crash on Interstate 295 on April 5.
Joshua Ray Anderson, 36, was caught hiding in a Wells Road apartment bathroom closet on Aug. 16 by CCSO K9 Conan. He was sent to the Duval County Jail after being charged with vehicular homicide, failing to stop and render aid, leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, DUI manslaughter with property damage and resisting arrest.
According to the FHP, Anderson was driving a Dodge Charger at a high rate of speed at 2 a.m. when he rear-ended a Honda Accord driven by Megan Graybeal. Her car erupted in flames at impact.
A warrant was issued for his arrest on Aug. 14. He was finally located at the apartment complex, but deputies were forced to search room-by-room until they found him hiding.

JSO: Cold cases solved when serial rapist linked to brother’s DNA


JACKSONVILLE – A Middleburg man was in jail and charged with raping at least eight women between 2006 and 2009, the Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said.
Brandon DeAngelo Young, 34, originally was arrested by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office on July 26 after a DNA sample linked the former volunteer assistant football coach at St. Johns Country Day School with cold cases dating back to 2006. CCSO then transferred him to Jacksonville.
Officials were able to connect forensic evidence from serial rapes reported during a four-year stretch to Young’s brother. Williams said that was enough to make Young a person of interest.
JSO believes there may be other victims. Anyone with information should call JSO at (904) 630-0500 or CrimeStoppers at 866-845-8577.
