>> you can go to jail naked?!?
He is not naked. You can see he is wearing shorts in the second picture under the article. The position of the deputy’s hand as he is closing the door might give a strange appearance to the top photo.
GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!
You can go to jail or you can go to jail tired. That was a favorite saying of my favorite cop. And seems like in this particular case you can go to jail naked?!? What’s up with that? Can you imagine hiding out in a corn field naked? Ouch. Those blades will slice you to bits, and let’s not even think about the fire ants. Looks like he’d have been happy to get in the patrol car, but he doesn’t look real happy.
Good going, boys and girls in blue, khaki, green and brown. It is great to see the way the various LEO’s work together in this area.
Way to go again guys!! Nothing like seeing different agencies working together leaning on each others strengths to catch a suspect. Three fleeing bad guys behind bars in two days. The ECSO (Fl), ECSO (Al), Escambia County (Fl) Road Prison K-9, Century C.I. K-9, Santa Rosa C.I. K-9, & Fountain Correctional (Al) K-9 make up a force to be reckoned with. These K-9 teams work together like a swiss watch, its amazing, dedication like nothing I’ve ever seen. One thing is for certain, if you are a bad guy anywhere around here, you can run if you want to, you are just going to go to jail TIRED. Thank each and everyone of you for your service and please Be Safe!!
