Our post about Alyssa Shay\u2019s September 17 arrest drew more than a million views\u2014and plenty of questions about the man named in the arrest affidavit. His name is Timothy Shquwan Leverett, and his mugshot is now available following an unrelated arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, a clarification: Leverett was the man the officer reported finding with Shay behind a dumpster at a Lakeland shopping plaza. He was not identified as a law enforcement officer. The badge and identification described in Shay\u2019s affidavit were found among her belongings. The report does not say they belonged to Leverett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leverett was not arrested during the September 17 incident. On September 29, Lakeland police arrested him on a separate allegation of trespassing on school grounds after a warning. According to that arrest affidavit, an officer responded to McKeel Academy after a report of someone on school property. Leverett told the officer he had gone near a dumpster to dispose of items. Police records indicated he had been warned against entering the same property on July 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, for everyone who asked to see the man named in the original report: this is Leverett\u2019s mugshot from the later, unrelated arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
