DeSantis assigned the case to State Attorney Michael Satz, who is based in Broward County.
Boca Raton Police Public Information Manager, Mark Economou released a statement saying officers responded to an incident on Jan. 4. The incident report only states that a burglary at a Boca Raton residence was reported.
