Cocky fugitive's social media challenge to sheriff backfires in spectacular fashion

A wanted Florida man has been arrested after a series of social media posts taunting the Polk County Sheriff's Office and Sheriff Grady Judd for not being able to catch him. The Polk County Sheriff's Office and Lakeland Police Department shared a series of Facebook posts by 29-year-old Aaron Donta Johnson, who was a wanted man for violating a pretrial release condition. 'Ya'll too busy fishing dats why yall didn't catch me when I left my grandmas house today,' Johnson said in one post to Judd's department. 'Should've waited a bit longer. Yall accepted da challenge right. #GradyCan't FindMe #ComeAgainGrady.' The posts, laden with poor grammar and bad spelling, appeared to be a dig towards Judd and his department for being too late to the scene. But that did not stop Judd and his team from responding to Johnson and taking on the challenge. 'Spoken like a true man. Way to take responsibility for your actions,' the sheriff's office wrote. 'No worries – we will find you. Bet.' 4 Florida fugitive Aaron Donta Johnson smiles as police officers take a picture after his arrest on June 17, 2025. Lakeland PD/Facebook As the posts continued, Johnson told the sheriff's office, 'I done out ran yall several time. #ComeTryAgainGrady.' 'Challenge accepted,' the sheriff's office wrote. In the final post shared by the sheriff's office, Johnson responded, 'OK! I'll give you and ya crew a head start. Ya'll couldn't catch me on foot or in da car last time. Maybe you gonna need that horse or ya helicopter! #level up #ImGoneGrady.' Also accepting the challenge, unbeknownst to Johnson, was the Lakeland Police Department, after he bragged about not being caught despite having multiple felony warrants issued against him. 4 The posts, laden with poor grammar and bad spelling, appeared to be a dig towards Judd and his department for being too late to the scene. Lakeland PD/Facebook Johnson was ultimately captured by the Lakeland Police Department, who transported him to the Polk County Jail. 'What Aaron didn't know is – that we got their backs,' Lakeland Police wrote on social media. 'When Aaron Johnson jumped on Facebook and challenged the Polk County Sheriff's Office, bragging he couldn't be caught despite having multiple felony warrants, our LPD officers said, 'Challenge accepted. 'Today, that little game ended,' the police department continued. 'Our officers and detectives tracked him down and personally delivered him to the Deputies at the Polk County Jail. Nice Try, Aaron. Maybe next time…but probably not.' 4 As the posts continued, Johnson told the sheriff's office, 'I done out ran yall several time. #ComeTryAgainGrady.' Lakeland PD/Facebook Judd has become known for his no-nonsense tactics when it comes to stopping crime in Polk County. He's also become infamous for making examples of criminals – Johnson was no different. 'You done messed up A-aron!' the Polk County Sheriff's Office said, referring to a hilarious and popular bit on the sketch comedy show, 'Key & Peele.' 'You forgot all the agencies here in Polk work together…………thanks LakelandPD for the find. #GotEm #TeamworkMakesTheDreamwork #PlayStupidGamesWinStupidPrizes #AaronRanButWeCaughtHimAnyway.' 4 Johnson was ultimately captured by the Lakeland Police Department, who transported him to the Polk County Jail. Polk County Sheriff Johnson has been in and out of the Polk County Jail several times since at least 2015, on charges including drug possession, driving on a suspended license, domestic assault, burglary, and written threat to kill or injure another person, according to jail records. He now faces several charges, including violation of pretrial release conditions.

California police plead for help amid officer shortage as union boss warns of unprecedented riot ‘onslaught'

As the protests against Los Angeles' immigration raids spread, state law enforcement leaders are sounding the alarm on the dangers facing officers on the front lines of the riots. "I've been around a very long time, and I have seen similar to what we're facing now," Jake Johnson, president of the California Association of Highway Patrolmen (CAHP), told Fox News Digital. "But I've never seen the amount of onslaught." Thousands of protesters descended on Los Angeles in the last two weeks after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers began conducting raids throughout the sanctuary city. The violence included rioters hurling projectiles at law enforcement officers and lighting numerous self-driving electric vehicles on fire. La-area Mayors Plead With Trump Admin To Stop Ice Immigration Arrests In response to the protests, over 640 highway patrol officers have been sent to Los Angeles. Additionally, nearly 400 additional CHP Special Response Team officers have been deployed to aid law enforcement. "There's hundreds of state troopers [and] highway patrolmen that are deployed in both the Bay Area and particularly in Los Angeles," Johnson said. "[They] are working very long hours, anywhere from 16 to 20 hours a day, trying to keep the peace down there. It's been a very dangerous situation." Read On The Fox News App Los Angeles police have made more than 500 arrests related to protest activity, with the most serious charges ranging from assault against police officers to possession of a Molotov cocktail and gun, according to the police department. Nine police officers have been injured in the protests, with the majority being minor injuries. The LAPD and CHP did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Trump Takes Action Against 'Orchestrated Attack' On Law Enforcement By Deploying Marines To La: Assemblyman Several CHP cars were damaged along the 101 Freeway as officers tried to clear protesters from the road, marking yet another assault on law enforcement operations in the midst of the riots. "I witnessed one of our officers get hit in the head with a rock," Johnson said. "Had he not had his helmet and mask on, [there is] no doubt in my mind he would have been killed. It smacked him right in the face and he was actually pulled to safety by an [officer] I know very well." While on the ground, CHP officers are faced with the task of identifying in real-time who is following the law and who is looking to break it, a situation that Johnson called "very difficult." "The persons that are down there participating in their First Amendment rights are quickly overtaken by these bad actors that are definitely in the crowd," Johnson told Fox News Digital. "There's a significant amount of them in the crowd, and it really takes over the peaceful protests that there are hundreds of people participating in. It really turns these into bad situations where now we have to decide who's a peaceful protester and who is a bad actor." Dozens Of Anti-ice Rioters Arrested In La As Trump Sends In National Guard To Quell Violence Johnson believes the answer to ensuring the safety of both law enforcement and demonstrators who may be acting peacefully is by civilians reporting sightings of violent protesters to police. "It's time to start turning these people in," Johnson said. "It's time to start recording them, getting information for the crimes that you see committed and turning them in to the police." The call for cooperation between peaceful protesters and law enforcement comes as an appeals court blocked a federal judge's decision forcing President Donald Trump to return control over National Guard troops to California last Thursday. Rioters Smash Windows At Lapd Headquarters As Anti-ice Agitators Clash With Authorities Trump has deployed more than 4,000 Guard soldiers to Los Angeles, along with roughly 700 Marines, Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman said. The appeals court declined to rule on the status of the Marines, since they had not taken to the streets yet. In a post on Truth Social, Trump thanked the appeals court for its ruling, writing: "If I didn't send the Military into Los Angeles, that city would be burning to the ground right now." Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom continue to clash in a legal battle over control of the National Guard and the troops' role in the riots. Chuck Devore: Trump Moves Fast To Save La From A 1992 Repeat The Guard has been sent to protect federal property and accompany officials on immigration raids. While the troops do have the ability to temporarily detain people who attack officers, any arrests must be made by law enforcement. "As far as the interaction with [the National Guard], I haven't seen any interaction with them," Johnson said. "For the three or four nights I was out there, I didn't see any National Guard. I saw what [was] on the news. They're guarding federal facilities, but they haven't been integrated with any of us." Johnson leads a union that represents approximately 7,000 patrolmen deployed throughout the state. However, he points to staffing shortages caused by attractive retirement packages, leaving a gaping hole in the department's headcount. "We're almost down one thousand bodies for highway patrolmen in California," Johnson said, adding, "We have a really hard time filling in the positions." As the anti-ICE protests stretch into their second week, law enforcement throughout Los Angeles is bracing for the unknown. "When you're out there and it's a very dangerous situation, you don't think about the politics or your personal politics," Johnson said. "Cops are very good at that. I've been around these guys for decades and they're my brothers and sisters. And I know they're very, very good people. And although they might have their personal views, it doesn't spill over into these situations." The Associated Press contributed to this report.
