Florida Sheriff Warns Community To Stay On Alert As Authorities Release 13-Year-Old Boy With 11 Felony Arrests

A Florida sheriff urged residents to stay vigilant after saying that a 13-year-old boy with 11 felony arrests was released back into the community for the third time in six months.

Martin County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Sheriff John Budensiek expressed frustration at a Wednesday news conference, saying is deputies face limited options, WPBF reported.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” Budensiek said. “Our job is to keep everybody safe, including him. He is unraveling. He would be safer right now at DYS (Florida Department of Juvenile Justice).”

The sheriff said the boy “has rough living conditions. He has been unraveling since his dad was deported.”

Fort Pierce’s St. Lucie Regional Juvenile Detention Center has reportedly processed and released the accused three times. His crime spree from Oct. 29 to Nov. 24 left six victims in the Port Salerno area, the MCSO alleged.
