Florida Sex Offenders Not Allowed At Hurricane Irma Shelters, Sheriff Says
As Hurricane Irma batters the Caribbean and threatens to make landfall in Florida this weekend, one sheriff has a stern warning: Those seeking shelter with a warrant will be sent to jail.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd issued a series of warnings Wednesday on Twitter ahead of Hurricane Irma.
“If you go to a shelter for #Irma, be advised: sworn LEOs [law enforcement officers] will be at every shelter, checking IDs. Sex offenders/predators will not be allowed,” said Judd on Twitter.
He also expanded the warning to all people who have a warrant out for their arrest.
