His most recent was in 2021 for violation of injunction for protection against domestic violence. He was sentenced to two years in prison in 2009 for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
JSO said Klimenko has threatened her in the past. The woman escaped the home through the bathroom window.Action News Jax spoke with neighbors who saw the police response.Former FWC officer arrested by St. Johns deputies for possession of child sexual abuse material “Repeatedly issuing warning on a blowhorn for almost 11 hours and didn’t come out. Eventually he was trying to cross through here, they took their battering ram machine, hit the fence, knocked it out and he ran right past my room and that’s when we heard the shots,” Yousif said.Chief Alan Parker said Wednesday that Klimenko found ways to re-engage with the woman.
She moved away in secret, but the Klimenko somehow found her address by getting into her Gmail account. Action News Jax law and safety expert Dale Carson said the best way to keep yourself safe in domestic incidents is to report it to police.“If there’s a domestic violence charge or there’s a domestic violence call,” Carson said, “they are almost mandated by general order to make one arrest.
