You asked… here it is.
When the call goes out “The Sheriff needs backup” it’s all hands on deck.
Inside a local hardware store, Sheriff T. K. Waters didn’t hesitate, he physically chased down a suspected shoplifter as the man tried to get away, alongside a retired detective.
The initial moments weren’t captured (the Sheriff doesn’t wear a body camera), but what happened next was. Within minutes, officers flooded the scene.
There may have been a brief look of surprise seeing the Sheriff already in the middle of it… but that didn’t last long.
The suspect, 40-year-old Raymond Pena, wasn’t just “shopping.” He was wanted on multiple shoplifting warrants and this encounter added to the list.
He was taken into custody and transported to the Duval County Jail.
Don’t steal. But especially don’t do it when the Sheriff is in the same store as you.
