ATV riders say pickup driver targeted them

KEYSTONE HEIGHTS – Aggravated battery and assault charges are filed against a Keystone Heights man accused of using his pickup truck to strike an ATV and injure the rider.

Frank David Doyle Jr., 57, is free on $35,000 bond following his arrest Monday, Nov. 30, at his home in the 7200 block of Pleasant Point Road, according to a Clay County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.

Three ATV riders told deputies that a man in a white, four-door pickup truck intentionally drove at them while they were riding in the 6900 block of Immokalee Road near Lake Brooklyn about 7:15 p.m., the arrest report says. Two of the men, David Wroblewski and Justin Potter, managed to get out of the way but a third ATV driven by Keith Collins of Keystone Heights, was struck, the report says.

When the truck hit the back of the ATV, Collins was thrown backward onto the truck. Wroblewski chased after the truck along the edge of the lake and managed to get the tag number, which was given to deputies, the report says.

A white four-door pickup with damage to the front end was found at Doyle's residence. Among statements Doyle made to deputies was that ATVs are always riding and tearing up in the area, the report says. Doyle was charged with aggravated battery and aggravated assault, the report says.

Collins was taken to Shands Gainesville after complaining of back pain, the report says.
