Florida sheriff announces criminals banned from evacuation shelters, tells them to go directly to jail
Sheriff will not allow 'criminal element' into evacuation shelters during Hurricane Milton
Published October 12, 2024 5:00pm EDTA Florida sheriff went viral on X for declaring that criminals with outstanding warrants would be arrested at the entryway of Hurricane Milton evacuation shelters and sent to the county jail for immediate processing.
Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly announced during a briefing that he has no tolerance for relaxing law enforcement's activities against the "criminal element," even during a hurricane.
"Anyone that comes in will be checked to make sure they're not a fugitive and not a sex offender," he said at the briefing. "If you are a predator, you are not allowed in the [sic] shelter. If you are a designated a sex predator in a court of law, you'll need to go to… the county jail," he said.
He explained in an interview with Fox News Digital that people with outstanding warrants will be arrested at the evacuation shelter. Sex predators, even if they do not have outstanding warrants, should go directly to the county jail, where they will be housed behind bars, until after the storm.
