  • 13 johns busted in FL craigslist sting

    Teacher Among 13 Arrested In Polk Prostitution Sting:

    The Polk County, Florida Sheriff’s Department arrested 13 johns in a craigslist prostitution sting. One of those arrested was a local school teacher. He got singled out in the article because of his job yet they made no mention of the occupations of the other 12 arrested.

    The guys that should go out now and buy lottery tickets because they’re that damn lucky are these two…

    Two men came to the house but changed their minds and left without going inside. They were not arrested, Judd said.

    You don’t get much luckier than that.

  • Mercades Nichols’ mom files lawsuit

    Legal Action Considered Against Polk Sheriff:

    This one is from the “Boy does that woman have brass ones” department.

    Christina Garcia is the mother of Mercades Nichols. Mercades is one of if not the main suspect in the videotaped beating of Victoria Lindsay.

    You would think that Ms. Garcia has more important matters to attend to like making sure her daughter stays out of jail but no. Ms. Garcia has taken it upon herself to file a lawsuit against Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd for making ‘defamatory’ remarks and causing ‘severe emotional damages’.

    In her intent to sue notice, Bernard wrote that Judd failed to handle the arrest of the teens “with integrity and a degree of care” that would have protected them “against unfair treatment and exposure.”

    Judd has described the March 30 beating in published news stories as “animalistic” and said that after the teens were arrested, they were laughing together in a holding cell, saying “Am I going to miss cheerleading practice?” and “I guess we’re not going to the beach this week.”

    I didn’t know you could be sued for the truth. Garcia’s face is causing me severe emotional damages. Can I sue for that?

  • Gag order lifted in beating case

    Gag order lifted in teen beating; sheriff speaks out:

    The gag order has been lifted in the beating case of Victoria Lindsay.

    Outspoken sheriff Grady Judd is saying that there was a lot more behind the attack than a mere $4.

    Sheriff Judd also said that the media attention on the story would have died down by now if it wasn’t for the gag order.
