There is no way he’ll get caught, it’s in the Sheriff’s jurisdiction.

The SBSO will be asking, er, pleading, for the public’s assistance around June regarding this case.
Seeing this is an SBSO operation, they are off this case already and enjoying breakfast at the Cajun Kitchen and then it’s nap time. “Nothing to see here, folks.”
