The morning of July 19, 2018, Britany Jacobs had gone to work at East Bay Rehabilitation Center. Markeis McGlockton was taking care of their three children. He picked, her up fronl work at approximately 3:00 p.m. Britany Jacobs drove from her place of employment to the Circle A Food Store located at 1201 Sunset Point Road, Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida. Markeis McGlockton was in the passenger seat and the three (3) children were in the back seat. She arrived at the store and pulled into the handicap parking spot. She indicated there were some large trucks parked in the parking area. Because of the congestion in the front of the store, .she pulled into the west side of the store. Markeis McGlockton and Markeis Jr., (age 5) got out of the car and went into the store to purchase snacks and drinks. Britany Jacobs remained in the car with her two children. The car remained on with the windows in the upward position. A white male (hereafter referred to as MICHAEL DREJKA), driving a silver SUV, pulled into the parking lot. He wore a baseball cap and dark sunglasses. He got out of his car and began to walk around Ms. Jacobs? vehicle. Britany Jacobs saw NECHAEL DREJKA and thought his behavior was unusual as he walked around her car looking into her windows. She became concerned for the safety of her children. MICHAEL DREJKA approached the driver side window and began to yell and motion with his. hands at Ms.' Jacobs. Still .in fear, she cracked her window and asked him what his problem was. MICHAEL DREJKA began to rant about her parking in a handicap spot. Britany Jacobs told him to mind his business and stated that her boyfriend went into the store to get some food and. drinks. The argument continued at Britany?s driver side window. Your Affiant interviewed customers who had arrived at the store.

Ms. Jacobs was yelling back at MICHAEL DREJKA. The argument was about her parking in a handicap spot. Mr. Castelli indicated that MICHAEL DREJKA appeared confrontational. He thought about intervening on behalf of Britany Jacobs. Castelli opened the door to the convenience'store where he saw Markeis McGlockton at the counter. He told'him that there was an altercation and he might want to get involved. Markeis McGlockton did not complete his transaction with the clerk. He responded by immediately exiting the store. The Circle A Food Store has security cameras throughout the property. Your .Affiant reviewed security footage front the area where the confrontation took place. Markeis McGlockton approached MICHAEL DREJKA and pushed him to the ground. MICHAEL DREJKA falls to the pavement and from his right side, produces a firearm pointing it directly at McGlockton. MICHAEL DREJKA steadies the firearm with both hands. Markeis McGlockton immediately backs up when confronted with the firearm. As he backs up to his vehicle he begins to turn towards the front of the store away from the shooter. As he turns way from MICHAEL DREJKA, MICHAEL DREJKA fires one shot. The shot hits Markeis McGlockton and he runs into the store. McGlockton did not produce or have any weapon. The in?store video was reviewed. by your Affiant.

Britany Jacobs enters the store and finds her boyfriend dying on the floor of the convenience store. MICHAEL DREJKA was taken from the scene to the North District Station where he was interviewed by your Affiant. The interview was video recorded. During the interview, MICHAEL DREJKA stated he was in fear. He indicated he was tackled by Markeis McGlockton. When. he went to the ground, he went for' his firearnt which. he carried in a holster on the right side of his body. He pulled the gun out and pointed it at Markeis McGlockton where he fired one shot at him. MICHAEL DREJKA stated no words were exchanged by him or McGlockton. He did not see McGlockton's hands or face. He saw his legs and said he made a twitch towards him and he fired the gun in self-defense. MICHAEL DREJKA indicated the firearm was a Glock 40 caliber handgun and he has a concealed weapons permit to carry the gun. During the interview, MICHAEL DREJKA maintained his actions were in self-defense. Your Affiant asked him to reenact the shooting demonstrating the distance between the men at the time the shot was fired. Your Affiant played the role of the victim. MICHAEL DREJKA sat on the ground and pointed his arms outstretched toward your Affiant in a shooting position. MICHAEL DREJKA directed your Affiant to back up, at which point your Affiant had stepped all the way to the wall and could not retreat any further. The interview room where the enactment took place is aa 10 10 foot room. Based upon this reenactment, MICHAEL DREJKA demonstrated that Markeis McGlockton was in excess of 10 feet from him when he shot him. . The Pinellas County Sheriff?s Office was contacted by Richard Kelly. Mr. Kelly told Detective Nelson de Leon, of the Pinellas County Sheriff?s Office, that he drives a tanker truck for AA Cut? Rate Septic Tank Service. Approximately three months ago, he was confronted by MICHAEL DREJKA at the Circle A Food Store. MICHAEL DREJKA was upset that Kelly had parked in the handicap spot. MICHAEL- DREJKA argued with Kelly and the exchange became very loud. Kelly indicated that at some point, MICHAEL DREJKA told him he was going to shoot him. MICHAEL DREJKA went to his SUV and entered the car retrieving something from the center console area. At this time, Kelly got into his truck and left the Circle A Food Store. During the argument MICHAEL DREJKA directed racial slurs toward Kelly. John Tyler told Detective de Leon that he owns the business AA Cut-Rate Septic Service and he employs Richard Kelly. Mr. Tyler spoke with MICHAEL DREJKA concerning his employee parking in the handicap spot. MICHAEL DREJKA was very angry and wanted to voice his complaint. He told Tyler that he was lucky that he didn?t blow his employee?s head off. Tyler immediately realized he could not' carry on a pmoductive conversation with MICHAEL DREJKA and told him to please call law enforcement and he would deal with them in handling the situation. Your Affiant has reviewed two (2) prior incident reports involving the improper exhibition of firearms by MICHAEL DREJKA. An incident occurred on January 10, 2012, and was reported to the Pinellas County Sheriff?s Office. Tyler Smith reported that he was driving with a friend and they were stopped at a light at SR 580 and Us Highway 19. Mr. Smith stated the light had turned yellow and he decided not to drive through the yellow light and stopped his car. A truck, driven by MICHAEL DREJKA was behind him. MICHAEL DREJKA honked his horn and yelled at Smith. MICHAEL DREJKA held a black handgun out the driver?s side window of his vehicle. He motioned for the driver, Smith, to walk back to his truck. Both Mr. Smith and his passenger were 18 years old. The teens did not wish to press charges. On December 12, 2012, a Largo police officer reported that a female driver told him that a man driving a black Toyota truck (later identified as MICHAEL DREJKA), had pointed a gun at her and her passengers. She pointed out the black truck to a Largo officer. When Largo Police talked to MICHAEL DREJKA, he stated that the female driver was driving too slowly through a school zone. He denied displaying a firearm at the occupants of the car. MICHAEL DREJKA did have a firearm in his vehicle. No further investigation was done because the victim left the scene without providing identification. Forensic Scene Supervisor, Stacey Wall, met with Detective de Leon to provide him with the results of testing done with the FARO 3D Scanner. The 3D Scanner allows for the precise 3D capture of measurement and distance. According to data obtained through the use of this device, the likely range of the distance between the shooter, MICHAEL DREJKA, and the victim, Markeis McGlockton, at the time of the shooting was from 10 to 15 feet, with the more probable distance being 12 feet. Your Affiant has reviewed the. Medical Examiner Autopsy report. The autopsy was conducted on July 20, 2018 by Deputy Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Noel Palma. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest. The manner of death was listed as homicide. The entrance wound tracked front to back, left to right in a upward direction. The bullet was recovered at the end of the wound track. The findings of the autopsy are consistent with the video footage of the shooting, in which McGlockton appears to be turning away from the shooter and facing toward the store entrance. WHEREFORE, your Affiant respectfully requests this Court to issue a Capias for MICHAEL DREJKA, DOB: 08/05/70, so that he may be made to answer to the charge of Manslaughter with a Firearm, a l?Felony, contrary to Chapter Florida Statutes, and against the peace and dignity of the State of AF IANT . inichf- #a?szf Sworn to and subscri ed before me /07fb this 10 day of 2018. {mm ?523377?
