A 17-year-old from Live Oak who was charged as an adult for his role in a series of armed burglaries and vehicle break-ins across western Flagler County has been convicted and sentenced to prison. He is the first of four suspects in the case to be convicted.
The Crime
During the overnight hours of August 28 into August 29, 2025, Alan Jaramillo-Hernandez — who was 16 years old at the time — and three other suspects targeted approximately 15 properties in western Flagler County. The suspects hit addresses along County Roads 305, 302, 140, 2006, and 15, as well as Quarter Horse Lane and Garden Lane. They broke into vehicles and garages, stealing five firearms, cash, purses, and other valuables. Jaramillo-Hernandez was arrested by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office in September 2025 in connection with the crimes.
The Plea and Sentence
On March 4, Jaramillo-Hernandez pleaded guilty to 12 felony charges, five of which are punishable by life in prison under Florida law. Circuit Judge Dawn Nichols sentenced him to five years in a Florida Department of Corrections prison, followed by 10 years of probation. As part of the sentence, Jaramillo-Hernandez was ordered to pay restitution to multiple victims. He is also prohibited from having any contact with the other defendants in the case — including his brother, Angel Jaramillo-Hernandez — during his probationary term. A nighttime curfew and other conditions will apply throughout his probation.
Although Jaramillo-Hernandez was 16 years old when the crimes occurred, he was prosecuted as an adult. He is currently being held at the Volusia County Jail, which has a facility dedicated to youthful offenders, while he awaits transfer to Florida Department of Corrections custody.
Sheriff’s Statement
Sheriff Rick Staly addressed the outcome in a statement following the sentencing. “This was a tough but fair sentence for serious crimes that terrorized our residents,” Staly said. “Five years in prison is accountability, and the 10 years of probation that follow comes with strict restrictions that will keep this offender under close supervision. We will continue working with our law enforcement partners and the State Attorney’s Office to make sure criminals who come to Flagler County to victimize our community are held responsible.”
Three Co-Defendants Still Pending
Jaramillo-Hernandez is the first of the four suspects to be convicted. The cases against the other three co-defendants — Lucas Rebolledo, Dwayne Ryan, and Angel Jaramillo-Hernandez — remain pending in the court system.
