New Evidence in burglary near Mulberry
May 25, 2020
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO

Back in June, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office released security video from a Mulberry property owner which showed five young white males who broke into a building and caused damages. In that video, the suspects all had their faces concealed by their shirts.
The PCSO now has new video from that same incident, retrieved from an outside camera, and this one shows the suspects’ faces.
This crime occurred on May 25th at about 4:30 in the afternoon.
If you recognize any, some, or all of these suspects, please call Detective Scarborough at 863-534-7205, or to remain anonymous, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers - call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477), visit www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.

This former @PolkSchoolsNews teacher literally used the phrase 'grooming' in his illicit texts with a student. He deleted a lot of his texts so his wife wouldn't see them.
Now he's in jail facing a felony charge of sexual offense by an authority figure against a student.
