**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Uh, even more legal stuff from the state of Florida, Lakeland, Florida, to be precise.
**Nigel** (0:06)
Uh-oh.
**SPEAKER_1** (0:07)
Deputies fatally shot a wanted man who was ramming a patrol car and then pulled a gun out on officers.
**Nigel** (0:15)
Bye.
**SPEAKER_1** (0:17)
Now, the sheriff that responded, the sheriff of that community, Nigel, is friend of the show Grady Judd.
**Grady Judd** (0:25)
He rams the patrol car because he's trying to get away. Well, he can't move the patrol car. He reaches into the back seat and starts to rack a round into a 9-millimeter handgun. It appears to be a 9-millimeter. We've not picked it up, but it is a semi-automatic handgun. Not just any semi-automatic handgun, but one stolen from a vehicle in the city of Lakeland on the 24th of June. As he's starting to rack a round into the firearm to engage our deputies, we shot him.
We shot him a lot.
**SPEAKER_1** (1:09)
We shot him. We shot him a lot.
**Nigel** (1:13)
The fact that we got to talk to him for 10 minutes still blows me away. That guy's more of a celebrity than some of the other people that we've ever talked to, I think, in my mind anyway.
**SPEAKER_1** (1:23)
Absolutely.
Great moments in Sheriff Grady Judd history. This is a props edition, because every once in a while, he'll bring a prop to a press conference. This was the time where he took a gun. Now, I don't know if it was loaded or not, but he pointed it at the media, and I think you'll hear why.
**Grady Judd** (1:44)
But if you come to a school in this county armed, we're going to do our best through either our guardians, our school resource officers, or our school resource deputy sheriffs, to eliminate the threat outside of the school before they ever get to the children. Now, if you have trouble understanding that, let me give it to you in Polk County vernacular. This is the last thing you'll see...
**SPEAKER_1** (2:12)
He's pointing the gun.
**Grady Judd** (2:13)
before we put a bullet through your head...
**SPEAKER_1** (2:15)
To the media.
**Grady Judd** (2:16)
if you're trying to hurt our children. We're going to shoot you grave yard dead.
If you come on to a campus with a gun, threatening our children or shooting at us.
**SPEAKER_1** (2:29)
Imagine being some like mealy mouth reporter for the paper of record in, you know, Polk County. And up there, there's the sheriff, and he's pointing a gun at you. This is the last thing you'll see.
**Nigel** (2:42)
You just made duty in your pants. You got a couple of skid marks in there now, boy.
**SPEAKER_1** (2:47)
Great moments in Sheriff Grady Judd history.
Props edition. This is where he put up a before and after photo of a tranny hooker that was arrested.
**Grady Judd** (2:58)
You order up a prostitute, right?
This prostitute lives with his mother, by the way. He's got a massive criminal history, a 21 year criminal history with 31 criminal charges. So you order up a prostitute and that's what you think you're getting.
**SPEAKER_1** (3:17)
That's the first picture.
**Grady Judd** (3:19)
Now, when you look at that, you go, man, that's pretty rough, but you know, any port in the storm. And then the next morning when you wake up, the next picture, you find out this is who it really is.
**SPEAKER_1** (3:32)
That's a dude.
**Grady Judd** (3:34)
Yeah. We call that coyote ugly. You see, he's laying on your arm in bed.
You go, where was rough last night? But I've sobered up. I think I'll just chew my arm off and ease away so I don't disturb him or wake him up. All right. So you think you're buying this, you're getting this. He's got 31 criminal charges. And heck, if you're lucky, he doesn't kill you overnight.
**SPEAKER_1** (3:59)
