A wanted Florida man was apprehended by authorities in Lakeland, Florida, after attempting to evade arrest by hiding in the ceiling of a business. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office reported that 38-year-old Joshua Garrett was taken into custody and charged with resisting arrest and felony criminal mischief.
The incident unfolded when deputies responded to a disturbance near US 98 North and Duff Road. Upon arrival, it was revealed that the individual causing the disturbance, later identified as Garrett, had fled the scene. Subsequent investigations confirmed that Garrett was wanted for violating his probation, stemming from prior convictions related to burglary, providing false information to a pawnbroker, and trafficking of stolen property.
