Captain
Jim
Cemich of the Sheriffs Offrce
in Citrus County,
Florida, said deputies
in
San Juan
County,
apprehended
Linda Dollar
and
John Dollar on a road after recognizing their
gold
2000
Lexus sport
utility
vehicle. The Dollars face
charges
in Citrus County, where
they
lived in
Beverly Hills,
on
one
count of
aggravated
child abuse
for five
children.
The Dollars
put
up no
resistance
when
they were
picked
up,
said Bruce
Bushore, a sheriffs
dispatcher
in
San Juan
County. Bushore
said
deputies had been on
the
lookout for the
couple after
a
nationwide
bulletin was
issued
for them.
"They
spent a long day on this,
looking for
these
people",
Cernich said. "They
combed the area
and were
just
about
ready to shut down operations when they spotted the
vehicle".
(2)
The
Dollars were
notthe biological
parents
oftheir
seven children.
Gail Tierney
from
the
Citrus
County Sheriff s Offrce
said theywere
their
'legal
guardians,
and Florida Governor Jeb Bush said the
Dollars had
adopted
the children. The case came to authorities' attention
two weeks
ago when
paramedics
responding to
a 911
call from the home
in Beverly
Hills took a
l6-year-old
boy to hospital in
nearby
Crystal River,
Tierney
said.
"That
was
just
the start of the alarming
parts
of this case", she
said
in a telephone interview
Authorities
went to the home
in
Beverly Hills
and
interviewed the other children,
including twin
l4-year-old
boys
who were so malnourished they
weighed 36 and 38
pounds
apiece.
In
138
addition
to the three teen boys and the l2-year-old
girl,
the
other child
allegedly
abused is a 13-year-old
girl.
The two children
not harmed
are
a
l7-year-old
girl
and
l4-year-old
boy.

Linda Dollar said, "We have five adopted
children and
have seen
what we can
do to help those less fortunate. We can
see
so
many
children
who
need special
care,
love
and an opportunity to be
part
of a warm,
loving,
caring home atmosphere". Yet the Dollars
are accused
of forc-
ing
the
hve
children to sleep in a closet in the master
bedroom. Tierney
said it also appeared that the Dollars tried to keep the
children
inside the
home as much
as
possible
and
that
each
one was home-schooled.
(4)
Authorities removed all the seven children from
the
home and
placed
them in
the custody ofthe
Department
of Children
and Families.
The Dollars were
to appear
in
court
for
a hearing Monday
but
never
showed up. Today
a
Florida couple accused
of abusing and
starving five
of their seven children were caught Friday night in
Utah after detectives
were
able to track
their cell
phone
signals.
"They
said they
were foster
children,
and they had come from Florida and these children
were being
abused,
so they had rescued them from
homes",
said
Jean
Underwood,
who rented
a
house
to
thg Dollars near Kno'xville
before
they returned
to Florida.
