TARPON SPRINGS: -- Authorities say the man who fatally shot a Tarpon Springs police officer and then backed over him early Sunday has admitted to the crime.Marco Antonio Parilla Jr.. 23, has a lengthy criminal record that included more than 30 felony charges. He'd been wanted for probation violation when officer Charles Kondek responded to an apartment building on Grand Boulevard around 2 a.m. to investigate a complaint about loud music coming from a car Parilla and a woman were parked in.As Kondek approached the car, Parilla was just walking back from the building. The convicted felon started shooting at the officer with a 40-caliber handgun, authorities said.Kondek, a 17-year veteran of the department and father of six ********, was killed by a gunshot that struck him in his upper chest, above his protective vest. Parilla fled in the white Hyundai Elantra to nearby Athens Street, where he crashed into a power pole and truck before being arrested.Parilla's downward spiral started in 2009 just after his 18th birthday when he was arrested on a driving without a license charge. Between 2009 and 2011, he was arrested five times in Hillsborough County on an escalating range of charges.He then served three years in prison for selling cocaine and marijuana, trafficking in stolen property and leaving the scene of a crash involving an injury.Parilla had gone to the apartment building to confront someone he believed had reported drug activity that led to his probation violation charge, authorities said."This is a guy that has a very, very extensive criminal history," Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told reporters. "This is a guy that's been around the block many, many times."
