From Fox News: A wanted Florida man has been arrested after a series of social media posts taunting the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Grady Judd for not being able to catch him.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office and Lakeland Police Department shared a series of Facebook posts by 29-year-old Aaron Donta Johnson, who was a wanted man for violating a pretrial release condition.
“Ya’ll too busy fishing dats why yall didn’t catch me when I left my grandmas house today,” Johnson said in one post to Judd’s department. “Should’ve waited a bit longer. Yall accepted da challenge right. #GradyCan’t FindMe #ComeAgainGrady.”
The posts, laden with poor grammar and bad spelling, appeared to be a dig towards Judd and his department for being too late to the scene. But that did not stop Judd and his team from responding to Johnson and taking on the challenge.
The sheriff’s office responded, writing: “Spoken like a true man. Way to take responsibility for your actions.”
“No worries – we will find you. Bet,” they added
Johnson a later bragged to the sheriff’s office, saying, “I done out ran yall several time. #ComeTryAgainGrady.”
“Challenge accepted,” the sheriff’s office responded.
Johnson was eventually nabbed by the Lakeland Police Department (LPD).
“When Aaron Johnson jumped on Facebook and challenged the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, bragging he couldn’t be caught despite having multiple felony warrants, our LPD officers said, ‘Challenge accepted,’” the police department said.
“Today, that little game ended,” the department added. “Our officers and detectives tracked him down and personally delivered him to the Deputies at the Polk County Jail. Nice Try, Aaron. Maybe next time…but probably not.”
