Cenielian Dozier Convicted On Multiple Charges

Moore Haven (December 3, 2025) – Cenielian Eugene Dozier was convicted of Possession of a Firearm, Ammunition, or Concealed Weapon by a Convicted Felon, Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle, and Burglary of a Dwelling.

Assistant State Attorney Evan Chaput prosecuted the case.

In May 2024 the defendant stole a Polaris Ranger Crew 900 from the carport of a residence in Glades County. The Glades County Sheriff’s Office was called to investigate. As they were speaking to the victim, he received multiple calls that his vehicle was seen traveling north on Highway 27. An additional call came in that the vehicle was then at a trailer park being taken apart.

Deputies went to the trailer park and saw a man, later identified as the defendant, with the vehicle. He then ran into a nearby trailer as deputies approached. Deputies were able to gain access to the residence via the tenant’s permission and soon after, took the defendant into custody.

Sentencing has been scheduled for January 26, 2026.

During his travels, he made lasting memories that he cherished and passed down to his loved ones. His adventures were not just on the journeys, but in the connections, he made along the way.
