Previous Turn ‘Em Tuesday Suspect Tries To Hide But Instead Gets A Backseat Ride To Jail

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Fugitive Agents from the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office arrested James Priddy who was listed as our Turn ‘Em In Tuesday Fugitive several weeks ago.

BCSO-BADGE-180The arrest was pursuant to numerous citizens contacting our agency and providing information about the location where Priddy was hiding to avoid arrest.

At the time of his arrest Priddy admitted to knowing he had been listed as the Turn ‘Em In Tuesday Fugitive of the Week, but that he chose to hide to avoid arrest as he knew he was going back to prison.

Sounds like he made yet another bad choice in his life as our Fugitive Agents and Citizens are working together to keep Brevard County Safe!
