Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd is threatening to jail wanted people seeking shelter due to Hurricane Irma.

The sheriff, who is known for his outspoken comments, made the threat in a series of posts to Twitter.

“If you go to a shelter for #Irma and you have a warrant, we’ll gladly escort you to the safe and secure shelter called the Polk County Jail,” Judd tweeted to his nearly 66,000 followers on Twitter.

Judd also posted that officers would be at every shelter checking IDs and that sex offenders and sex predators would not be allowed inside.

When checking IDs, if an officer sees that someone has a warrant, that person will be taken into custody, Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Carrie Horstman said.

Horstman added officers don’t have a way of seeing what crime the warrant is for, so it’s possible those with non-violent misdemeanor offenses could be arrested.

“Officers are legally obligated to take a person into custody if they have a warrant,” she said.

Judd said in preparation for the hurricane, fugitives should turn themselves into the jail because “it’s a secure location.”

When looking at bullies like this, corruption generally accompanies this sort of behavior, because they think that they are above the law they profess to enforce.

Someone needs to do a seriously deep dive into the operations of the Polk County Sheriff’s office Grady Judd’s personal finances.

I’d bet dollars to navy beans that there are seriously irregularities there.

BTW, the Florida ACLU opened up a can of whup ass on him as well:

It should be noted that Sheriff Judd has a long history of this sort of sh%$; he needs to have an investigative reporting team cohabiting his underwear.
