    I've heard some Florida Man stories but this guy is about as crazy as they come.

    This Schultz clearly had a death wish.
    The original never heard of Meth.

    Well it does seem like old Grady's county has a meth problem. He's always on TV talking about the crimes.

    from what I was told by a local police officer on Saturday- meth is making a huge comeback- it seems heroin and cocaine have gotten way to expensive

    Fentanyl volumes decreased. Opiates got harder to get.

    I wonder why he hasn't run for a higher office, because he probably could win it. But I think he's happy here. He's basically a local-news media star in TB. And while a part of me thinks he's self-serving jerk, I do find him incredibly entertaining and informative. Definitely a unique cat.

    my 4 restaurants were all in Polk County and I talked with the Sheriff many many times- he loved Polk County and was/is totally devoted to the County. He is a great man!

    What restaurants? Freds? (I love that place!)

    I can't think of anything else that would be spread across the county like that.

    Seems like he has a sweet deal where he is at. Voters like him and no one questions him. That could change running for higher office and he is now 70 or 71.

    I have to say, him swimming with the alligators hanging off his arms provides an entertaining visualization.

    I think in a political debate he would have a hard time explaining running out of bullets after just 83 shots.
