Yesterday in Polk County, one driver thought he could outsmart Florida Highway Patrol troopers but he failed miserably. After a successful PIT maneuver and arrest, FHP recovered 150 pounds of marijuana and approximately $40,000 from his vehicle - just look at all that marijuana on the hoods of the troopers' cars! Kudos to FHP and troopers who face dangers like this each day to protect our communities and keep our roads safe, while taking dangerous drugs off our streets and away from our children!
Shoutout also to Polk County Sheriff's Office deputies who arrested 50 people for Driving Under the Influence of alcohol and/or drugs during July 2025. Among the arrests, 15 were involved in crashes. Two of those arrested were driving with a child in the vehicle. These 50 arrests were PCSO arrests only - not including other arrests made in Polk by any city police departments or Florida Highway Patrol. Sheriff Judd reminds us that if you see someone who appears to be driving while impaired, be sure to call 9-1-1 immediately. Stay safe!
