PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. — A “cesspool of sex offenders” was cleared out of a Palatka trailer park on Friday afternoon, according to Putnam County Sheriff Gator DeLoach.
On a Facebook Live, DeLoach said more than 22 convicted predators and sex offenders living in the area were cleared out.
The trailer park, located at 3600 Balsam Street, was turned into what DeLoach referred to as a “predator’s paradise.”
23 registered offenders and predators have this location listed as their address, according to Florida’s Sexual Offenders and Predators Search.
According to the sheriff, the trailer park is located in an area where there are often children. There is a volunteer fire department with a youth program and bus stop close by.
Was these citizens on violation of any Law?
“…14 homes. However, all but three have now been condemned, according to the sheriff.”
Sounds positively charming! This “Unscrupulous Person” acquired this dump and rented to the only people desperate enough to live in this S*ithole?
Now they are trying to get the last 3 trailers condemned to shut the whole place down. So not only do these citizens not get to live there, nobody does, by decree of the Sheriff!
This area where there are “often children”. There are areas in this country so utterly hellish children avoid it at all costs?
This sounds like a law suit, but, is there any point to that in Floriduh?
If no law was broken, sounds like a class action lawsuit to me!
I saw the video this “sheriff” posted. He is a real Bull Connor right out of 1960. he video is on Youtube. He is saying that he is personally not going to allow this. He calls the tenants all manner of demeaning names, yet never says a single law was broken, and you know that no law was broken because he would have said it and taken them into custody. He clearly has a personal agenda with the residents, and even says so, and is abusing his authority. Wow, Florida needs help to reign in these narrow minded bigots.
“Gator DeLoach” sounds like a real brain here. If I’m thinking a “predator’s paradise,” it’s definitely a trailer park with 21 other adult men.
What parent names their child Gator? Gator Chomper sure likes to swim in the swamp of BS.
It’s Floriduh, so I don’t give any weight to the sheriff’s comments. Show me a public space on Earth were there isn’t “often children” in the vicinity. And wouldn’t this make it easier to monitor the issue if in fact it even was one? Instead they dramatize it for their own benefit, making out like they have performed some “ public service”. Probably celebrated by getting drunk , driving to their underage hooker girlfriend’s corner and boinking them in the back seat of their patrol cars. DeSantos’ finest doing their job…….
Can the sheriff name any crimes that were committed by those 23 registrants? Now you have homeless registrants and some with nothing to lose making your county less safe.
“37 years, I’ve been in this neighborhood, and I do not like them.”
You had 37 years to move from that sh*tty neighborhood, yet chose to stay around people you don’t like? 🤔
“Ann Green didn’t know she was living so close to [derogitory labels], and she claims she has given them rides before.”
And nothing happened, right lady. So, what makes things different now? Just because your busy body friend of yours called you and told you what’s ‘surrounding’ you, shouldn’t change the good relationship you have with your neighbors. Just keep doing what you been doing.
Why in the world go after persons who have done the crime and done the time ? when there are plenty of drug dealers on the streets ??? They weren’t bothering anyone – and in on place so probation and corrections know where they are. This looks like a Big Gun wanna be going after those who are already down trodden. Big Gun should go after the Big Fish known as Drug Dealers.
Sounds like an abuse of power. The Sheriff is elected and doesn’t own the community. He is using his personal opinions to destroy those who have done the time and trying to follow the law. He needs to take his beliefs to church on Sunday but leave the rest of the decent persons who follow the law alone the rest of the week.
This is not the infamous “Pervert Park” featured in the POV documentary on PBS. That park has far more residents, and it’s still going strong in St. Petersburg Florida. In a recent incident, a famous youtuber attempted to go undercover in the park and ask stupid demeaning questions. The residents quickly knew he was a troll, and kicked him out of the park. They called the sheriff who sided with the residents who made sure this troll didn’t step foot on their private property. So all leos aren’t bad in Florida, but you still get these hicks that are total zeros like Sheriff Gator who is all about grandstanding.
CESSPOOL says it all, of the the one who titled the artical..
