Here are three fugitives wanted by Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers.

Jonathan Azcarretzazbal

Jonathan Azcarretzazbal (DOB 9/15/90) – wanted in Lee County for violation of drug offender probation for second-degree arson.

According to witnesses, he set a public bathroom on fire at a Bonita Springs public park. Fortunately, a janitor was nearby and happened to see smoke coming from the vent of the men’s restroom.

When he walked in, he saw the entire room full of smoke and a garbage can that was on fire. As he started looking around, he saw Azcarretazabal on top of the rafters.

He then jumped down and started to charge at the janitor, who was able to restrain Azcarretazabal with his own shoelaces and detain him until law enforcement arrived.

He was ultimately found guilty and spent 10 months in lock up, before being released on probation, which he has now violated.

He has four previous arrests on his record, on additional charges of drugs and DUI. He is 5’8”, 180 pounds and upon his arrest, he will be held without bond.

Anthony DeNotto

Anthony DeNotto (DOB 1/2/91) – wanted in Lee County for violation of probation on charges of organized fraud.

DeNotto had been working at a local gym as a personal trainer and one of their managers. When gym administrators performed an audit of the payroll, they discovered that DeNotto had reported that he was doing personal training sessions for multiple members, for a personal profit of more than $2,100.

But when gym officials double-checked with their members they found out that the members not only didn’t have any personal training sessions with DeNotto, but they hadn’t even been to the gym at all during that time period.

DeNotto was placed on probation for the crime, and last week, he violated those terms.

Just two weeks ago, he found himself in a jail cell again, this time being charged with battery on a person age 65 or older.

DeNotto is 6’1”, 235 pounds and was last known to be living in East Fort Myers. He has a tattoo of a pirate on his left arm and upon his arrest, he will be held without bond.

Tina Hickok

Tina Hickok (DOB 3/25/68) – wanted in Collier County for grand theft and burglary of a structure.

She is a repeat offender in Collier, with a rap sheet that includes charges of trafficking amphetamines, the possession of meth with the intent to sell, the possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and battery.

She was last known to be living in the Everglades City/Copeland area, with previous local work experience as a restaurant server and a beautician.

She’s been on the run since late January, and is believed to still be in the area. Detectives say she could be using the aliases of Tina Wooten or Tina Tyler to avoid arrest.
