JSO announces arrest of Jacksonville criminal defense attorney accused of smuggling drugs into jail

[@christopherwall444]

Whoever wrote this report for this officer to read did a fantastic job

[@watjejanssen7535]

he was competing with the prisonguards and thats not allowed lol

[@latinking9793]

He's innocent until proven guilty.

[@kurtisstutzman7056]

​@@latinking9793In America, you are guilty until proven innocent...!!! That's why you go to jail first...!!! And, you sit in jail, before any convictions, until you're proven innocent...!!!

[@surfnslut67]

EXACTLY!!!

[@paladro]

this guy knows

[@TiaJohnson-g3e]

He should have qualified immunity. 😅

[@crinklecut3790]

It’s usually one of their own officers getting arrested when they do these press conferences. Glad they finally found a criminal who didn’t wear a JSO uniform.

[@prissiepot01]

Keep up the good work and keep law enforcement honest and accountable with a good name.

[@Robert-bt5jq]

Wow!!! Just wow...

[@TheOtto3663]

How much money and/or how stupid do you have to be to jump through all the hoops it takes to become an attorney then get busted for this kind of idiocy? How much money is worth tossing all that effort & accomplishment aside?

[@talesfromthetrenches9382]

I’m wondering the same thing

[@AmyWhoamI1]

Right!He must be doped out himself.

[@lenaely6146]

The bar association is corrupted. Many lawyers can bribe their way into a law license...

[@Jerseylulu]

Student loans

[@andellbrown1239]

Perhaps has some type of substance abuse issue.

[@DeKKH]

Whoaaaa… This whole story is a trip 😳 I’m glad they got this guy.

[@cavemanclark]

This is not news. This has been going on for decade or more. SMH. This is because all departments of corrections Sweep these cases under the rug because usually it's one of there own. An they know enough to were it could get messy when finger pointing happens. He lied when he said it's new. Omg. I am living in the upside down

[@tinapuddin9923]

A lawyer did this lord the man literally knows what thoes kind of charges carry and yet he does it what a DA

[@justice4USA]

Very hard to believe he risked "pot on paper" for his law degree??? I take issue when they claim the legal profession is honorable. As we witnessed today from NYC and have watched for the last two years, the legal profession is anything but honorable. How on earth would an attorney get payments from incarcerated criminals? I don't believe it even if true. I would like to hear his side. Def. giving him innocent until proven guilty but again, we have an honorable innocent police officer nearly stabbed to death in a jail to satiate the thirst for police blood by race baiters in politics.

[@j3zhott]

The update is it was a legal substance called k2 or spyce. They are calling it liquid marijuana to make the charges stick. In reality they have no case.

[@John-ws5oh]

His life is in the trash pile for a little $$

[@robertgardner2782]

He ain't the only lawyer in Jacksonville that's about to get handled.

[@shaunwheeler3484]

Po Po don't like competition, you know?

[@jamieburgess1460]

13/62 % are the biggest things pepo.

[@Jay-is2jy]

​@@jamieburgess1460 mmm.. gotta love that Maga snowflake racism.... wanna say something but too much of a 🐈 to say it...

[@the__source]

Lol. DHS is an organization of criminals

[@j3zhott]

It wasn't liquid pot that does not exist. It was a legal substance called k2 or spyce. He should be able to beat these charges.

[@RodneySlinger]

He must be crazy! The guards aren't going to allow anyone to get in on their racket.

[@momredandjonny]

That is really interesting. In our city there have been cries to investigate the overdose deaths of inmates of our jail by the families of the deceased with an aim to blame staff for a lack of care. In this case I wonder if the police will charge the accused with any deaths that can be tied to the drugs he smuggled into the facilitity.

[@LeoLover-l9e]

Way to throw your life away…or, at least life as you know it…

[@josephattardo7888]

This is the same thing happening at every prison in Florida

[@charlotteoshea2312]

Good job. Thank you for your dedication. God bless our LEOS

[@janetprice85]

What a fool.

[@TimothyPerron-l1b]

His Law License is gone..........FAFO..

[@MsMorganGirls]

And he's probably still paying on his student loans.

[@rogerclark3]

Everybody was smoking their legal documents... 😂 Good job investigators...

[@FrancineSmith-d8b]

😂😂😂

[@Gary-b9v]

That is one screwed up law enforcement agency, calling themselves office of the sheriff and Jacksonville police. Lmfao

[@Yakkityyak248]

He's gonna need a Criminal Defence Attorney LOL

[@FrancineSmith-d8b]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Dognme]

All that money and time for a law degree for nothing

[@thomasbrooker6970]

He should have his license to practice law revoked!

[@kathleenhazy6126]

He will, no doubt about it.

[@juanramos.jr.7948]

federal crime! he will

[@kenlewis3641]

Never once said that illegal drugs can be stopped from entering the system. If it can't be stopped in a correctional facility. How the hell do you think it's possible anywhere? There's money to be made and don't ignore the fact that there's also money and events that are paid for and enjoyed by officers. Which are funded due to illegal drugs. Simply put it's a business with benefits for both sides of this so called war.

[@aimeehilzjanelle]

You just explained why the "war on drugs" never goes full circle.. 💯😐🤦‍♀️ They hold the purse strings..

[@Incredible_629]

Show his face!!

[@FrancineSmith-d8b]

That part ☝🏻

[@curiouskitten]

Just Google it under images tab.

[@williamtolon6464]

Good investagation proud of yall .

[@scootermagee6680]

Florida’s finest lawyers!!!!

[@ulysiagayle]

Did he just need the funds? 😮 K2 kills.

[@alicewaggle6803]

Oh wow ! That says it all ! Well done law enforcement!

[@natalia-grace]

Imagine going through all that schooling, and this is how your career, and freedom come to an end… unbelievable !!

[@lorig4871]

Now he can be a jailhouse lawyer....lol.

[@richierich440007]

Wow, thats so messed up and truly astounding!!!! WTF 😳 UNBELIEVABLE 😑

[@deborahwalker306]

Not surprised!!

[@elizabethdowns7450]

This JUST one caught, what about the rest of the prisons?

[@Raymond-l4w]

What about murder charges

[@Herman727Jr]

He didn’t jeopardize his job for no reason the pay was very handsome believe me

[@borowland4942]

Yes, I’ve heard of inmates making up to 10k a week selling it inside. So you know he had to be making a lot of money. It’s flooded in the prison system with this K2

[@IamArealGinger22]

Wow just wow!!! 😳

[@Herman727Jr]

I swear Jacksonville be having the most interesting comments

[@eyeameye9565]

Learn how to speak, boon.

[@FrancineSmith-d8b]

Just a waste, wasn't necessary 🤦🏽🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Taurustheleader]

Am i hearing this right too?? 😲

[@janetjudd9505]

Some prisons are selling organs and graveyards in court yards .Some morgues selling organs some funeral homes selling birth certificates LOTS OF CLEANING UP NEEDED.

[@kimt1054]

Where did you get that information?

[@janetjudd9505]

@ listening to tarot of the light 💡

[@ezone913]

If you're going to smuggle drugs into the prison, you MUST pay off the undersheriff. That's a no-brainer.

[@zeroregrets5901]

WOW how to ruin your life shameful guy shame shame.

[@jakeneal5659]

Must not have been in the click any longer..

[@Yme540]

they got saul goodman lmfao

[@tangela58]

Because he's a attorney

[@JJMoore-c4k]

[@ErikRamos-p1o]

[@JacquelineLewis-qj6cu]

​@@RicardoSanchez-Virto-f7r Thanks for the clarification. 🙏✌️❤️

[@Bobby-l2y]

Because he's colored....

[@TimKing-vg2ok]

Fantastic. How many officers were involved??

[@the__source]

How would he even do this type of thing, it doesn't sound like something that could be done easily

[@TheKingtsmith]

Lmfao still got my phone on 5th floor but that maxwell house coffee smells delicious that part sucks

[@jenna2431]

Oh, poor guy evidently lost his copy of the 10 commandments to help him on the straight and narrow.

[@reefnreefer]

Though shall not covet thy neighbours ox? 😂 grow up !!

[@tomgeri3822]

How did u intercept the 2-way convo?

[@dalekidd420]

Gee... a crooked defense lawyer... now who would ever believe THAT? LMFAO!!!

[@anthony75040]

And what jailer or deputy was assisting in this as well???

[@RachelScott-z3y]

A criminal attorney being a criminal. Boy, he took his job seriously. Achieving so much and letting criminals take it away. The love of money is the root of all evil

[@totallydomestic433]

Great work JSO!

[@angiehayes7397]

Dude had a blast while people died bc of him. Go justice ⚖️ woo hoo!!!! When & where will his azz be working next? In a town near you?

[@Karie-d3b]

What do they do eat the paper ?????????

[@curtisgreen9267]

Dear Mr sheriff, while you eagerly jump to the photo op and the press release, and state how great thou are, why did it take so many overdose before?He responded

[@versewonderstrikes5353]

🎯Shouldn’t that question be for the criminals themselves?

[@curtisgreen9267]

What question should the criminals ask?Which deputy will sell to them

[@krissy3757]

This man can read and communicate clearly.. They wrote a good n detail statement for him

[@sweetkittiez]

Not only is he going to lose his license he might have make time over this 😮

[@scottystiffchicken]

*I wonder if he was smart enough to LAWYER UP!*

[@dianeclemmer1344]

Hold THEM ACCOUNTABLE?

[@tonyincs]

Which movie was this again..?

[@Myob_nope_not_me]

Oh damn hes cooked. What in the heck was he thinking

[@anthony75040]

Did no one inquire where he got the drugs in the first place wouldn't that be sort of important as well????

[@gasstationsushi7191]

OVERDOSED ON MARAJUANA. IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? A SUBSTANCE THAT IS LEGAL IN MOST STATES.

[@OG_Beckie_Leigh]

It’s K2, and that’s worse than just plain marijuana. Marijuana is legal in most states, but it’s not legal in jail.

[@nobody6546]

??? Guess that Lawyer (?) just had Bad Timing…. If he were arrested a few weeks ago- he’d be a,ready PAEDONED… 😂😂😂

[@bonniegettingthrumyday2866]

ARE THEY KIDDING US??? WHAT THE HECK??

[@methonyHolmes-e8p]

"Make America Florida", he said .... Yea. No thanks Ronny

[@Ontheroxxwithsalt]

Yes, we see how well you're doing with NY and Cali. 😂😂😂

[@methonyHolmes-e8p]

NYC actually has very low crime for the amount of ppl there. And Texas has more crime than California.

[@eduardoa3165]

did they arrest saul goodman?????

[@theresaboucher-p9t]

Dear God I have heard that the jails are full of all kinds of drugs.. It has to be from the jailers and lawyers, they should get life in prison.

[@OakleytheRottie]

Inmates are dying from synthetic pot?

[@deborahaumiller7391]

People have been dying from that fake stuff ever since it came out.

[@TheMulToyVerse]

Synthetic weed? How does one overdose on that? Unless the concentration was really high, or maybe the chemicals involved in making/lacing a synthetic version is toxic… or there’s a high likelihood that there were allergic reactions maybe?

[@Gonzokeywest45]

💯

[@deborahaumiller7391]

No regulations for what is in it. No actually knows what is really in vapes, either and there are several documented cases where vapes caused permanent damage to teenagers lungs, some fatal.

[@Taurustheleader]

Am i reading this right?? WOW 😯😳

[@Champion_u]

Damn they caught him,

[@davybyg]

Lmao,,cant believe they are still doing the stamp trick,

[@MiguelOjedaJr]

Got Em'

[@michelemcneill3652]

A lawyer should make enough to not be such an idiot.

[@ms.mojo_risin]

What 😳

[@dwalkeradz]

This happening in Florida doesn't surprise me.

[@j3zhott]

Update: There is no such thing as liquid thc or pot you put on papet. He put k2 or spyce on the paper. Its a legal substance.

[@michaelgrant7530]

SMH, u can't trust the usual suspects

[@squarebzness4738]

Implemented tablets. All inmates have tablets , they can watch movies, read …

[@bradbradshaw-i4n]

it's like a spy movie. they even have names for their case.

[@crystalwalker9227]

😂 that's crazy

[@steelmill]

Just business as usual for these guys.

[@Chuck44442]

Omg..the sherrif is arrested

[@YildizWarzone]

Police departments are out of controll....

[@DJChirpzTV]

UCMJ is going to get him also since he’s a soldier. Double jeopardy. He’s done.

[@davidnelson2234]

That stuff been going on in prisons for about 8 to 10yrs the inmates family & friends was sending in the mail officers was getting sick checking the mail. They probably receiving through their mail at the jail to i guarantee.. smdh

[@samhain3530]

Sheriff copies the attorney's documents and provides the copy to the client/inmate. Do the original documents go right to the DA's office? Attorney -client privilege please!

[@jackmundo4043]

Whoops.

[@bradleyparks812]

He's a CI people are going down with him.

[@Countrylivin4517]

attorneys no more then piggys lmao ..

[@tiajones8768]

These fools are getting dumber by the day.

[@nevamo7820]

Crafty... 😊😊😊

[@Bobby-l2y]

Unusual suspects ....

[@IamPreacherMan]

Drugs? In jail? 😂 Fake weed at that. Wonder how many ppl were hospitalized or died from this paper weed. Idk. If you can’t keep drugs out of jail and prison, and you can’t, maybe it’s time to concede defeat and try another tack. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@hellowellallen]

lol busted for selling weak legal weed. 😂

[@Merry-yk2to]

Maybe not he's in the judicial system and from Florida ... trump was helped by the judicial system massively..maybe this lawyer will get help like trump has with supreme court, judges, lawyers and today with judge in the hush money case...
