Sheriff Grady Judd

***UPDATE: March 9th***
Deputies are no longer hunting for Amos Hunter...they got him.
On Sunday, March 8th, deputies located him on Ulrich Avenue in Winter Haven. Amos fled on foot, but our deputies' feet are faster. When he was caught, Amos identified himself as "Roger." Of course, that was a fib. Amos was also in possession of a glass pipe and cocaine. 

In addition to his charges from his armed robbery warrant, Amos was also charged with Possession of Cocaine, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Resisting, and Giving False Name to LEO.

Thanks to everyone who shared our post, and provided information.
