Roberto Torres,  38, was arrested at his Pinellas Park home this weekend. He was charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and booked into the Pinellas County Jail.

According to a Pinellas County Sheriff's Office news release, the shooting occurred on July 28 at Sparkle Lake Park in the 4500 block of 84th Avenue North in Pinellas Park.
