FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. — The owner of a Fernandina Beach automotive shop was arrested Monday on out-of-county warrants, leaving nearly two dozen customer vehicles abandoned at a storage lot. Michael Jacobsen, 68, owner of All Pro Automotive, was arrested in connection with charges out of Putnam County.
The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office received multiple calls from customers who were unable to find their vehicles after the shop moved to a new location. Unanswered phone calls to All Pro Automotive left vehicle owners unaware that the primary facility had closed.
Jacobsen was arrested on a warrant from Putnam County charging him with three counts of failure to appear. All Pro Automotive previously operated at 5174 First Coast Highway before moving to another location. Deputies are currently working to identify the owners of the vehicles left at the storage site. Sheriff’s office personnel are offering guidance to help affected customers complete the recovery process for their property.
Customers of Jacobsen or All Pro Automotive who believe their vehicle is at the property can contact Deputy Michael Cook by email at MI1570@nassauso.com. Owners can also contact the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line at 904-225-5174.
