Ocala Gazette Podcast episode for the week of January 27, 2025.

In this episode, we take a look back at the Ma Barker shootout that took place in Ocklawaha in 1935, as it was recently the site of a historical commemoration in Marion County.

We also examine the DCRA, or the Death in Custody Reporting Act, a federal law that requires local law enforcement to report instances of deaths that take place within police custody.

And finally, we also discuss a $10,000 donation made to Interfaith Emergency Services as part of HCA’s food drive initiative, and a former Marion County high school football coach who was arrested this month for underage sex crimes.
