An 18-year-old Orange City gang associate who’s been arrested 11 times since he was 11 years old is behind bars again on several new felony charges after a detective reviewing his Instagram posts and text message records found cause to arrest him for his weapons, his stolen vehicle and his plans to commit an armed home invasion robbery.
The latest arrest of Vincent Shalkowitz came after Volusia County Sheriff’s Office Detective Jayson Paul reviewed social media posts and recognized one that featured Shalkowitz driving a stolen sport utility vehicle and holding a handgun, with a passenger also armed with a handgun that matched one reported stolen in DeLand in April. The passenger, Shalkowitz’s friend Jeremy Jones, is in jail, too, on a variety of charges.
