I'm not just talking about it..
I'm taking action.
do you PRAY local?
or do you just talk on the internet?
Holbrook called it a classic example of community policing based on relationships with the business sector downtown.
“They were able to bring forth some very helpful information to us, and we were able to ultimately make this case based off that information,” Holbrook said.
Once he heard the news of Torres’ criminal history, Claude Tatro initiated plans to evict him from Main Street Market in downtown Gainesville. Tatro co-owns Pharmacon Nuclear Inc., which possesses all of Main Street Market. Torres’ doughnut and ice-cream shop, Love Is All You Knead, fills the space in the front portion of the building.
“To say that I was shocked and amazed to hear this disclosure is putting it mildly,” Tatro said.
“He has no business being in a building that houses a bookstore, which has frequent visitations of children, and a Waldorf & Wonder academy that inculcates the love of learning into little ones.”
Torres opened Love Is All You Knead on Dec. 15, 2018.
Seeing the potential success an ice cream and doughnut shop would have in Main Street Market, and not knowing his criminal history, Tatro decided to take a risk on Torres.
“He had the promotional talents that would be an asset to the community,” Tatro said. “As a consequence, I talked to him about a business arrangement, knowing that he didn't have the financial ability to undertake it.”
Torres was quick to immerse himself in the community once he opened his business. He took an active role in the Gainesville Business Coalition and parked his Love Is All You Knead food truck at several of the square’s events.
The Gainesville Business Coalition permanently removed Torres from the organization upon learning about his felonious background.
The coalition offered a statement, claiming that the members were unaware of his criminal history because of his aliases. Torres also went by Endrick Ordonez and Endrick Lekay.
“We urge anyone who has witnessed any questionable behavior on his part to alert the authorities,” the coalition said. “We want to assure the community, our affiliates and sponsors that our intention is to maintain the highest standards of community responsibility.”
