@ Brandon….you can go on any Clerk of Courts website and look up any/all types of Court Cases. Also there’s Inmate Lookup at Correctional Facilities and Jail view for Local Jails throughout the Counties in Florida and other States. I imagine this was the Avenue many have looked this fella up and the Sheriff spoke on this as well during his press conferences. Hope this helps you in checking for yourself.

How do you lookup someone’s arrest record to find out he had that many felonies?

Really should be a mandatory death sentence at the 10th felony. I’d say 3 but I figure if you reach 10 you have to be absolute scum.

I’m Sheriff Simmons has done a great job! The difference really shows when you have an experienced Sherrif in office with law enforcement expertise. I hope everyone remembers this during the next election! Praying for the Deputy involved and the bad guy’s family!!

@Steve, people have been violent towards law enforcement for as long as there’s been law enforcement. This isn’t a new concept.

Why was he not in prison? 58 felony convictions…he should have been locked up forever 55 felonies ago.

Thoughts are with the officer who had to do this.

The lawlessness has honestly gotten so out of hand, with people actually taunting and cussing out police officers, throwing punches, trying to shoot them, basically asking to die because they either don’t fear death, or LIFE has no meaning, so they produce meaning for themselves, and take what they want, and do as they please, with anything or anyone just because they don’t care. I sort of understand now, why my ancestors used guillotines. When people no longer fear death because they all think this is a video game with do overs, or prison’s aren’t a deterrent History does repeat itself, We all need to be more kind to one another. Try decaf

I knew this man a few years back. Very personable man at the time. Very sad for his family, grandchildren. Very sad that drugs take over & some people cannot overcome the devil. Prayers for his daughter, grandchildren. Very sad for them.
