Press Release
South Walton Manhunt

Point Washington, FL (March 23, 2010) –Walton County Sheriff’s Office Personnel are currently involved in a Manhunt in the Point Washington area of South Walton County. The suspect is described as a white male about five-foot-nine, wearing a white t-shirt and white pants. He also is wearing a black ball cap.

It’s not known if the suspect is armed, but residents in the area are urged to keep their doors and windows locked.

A resident had a pressure washer stolen from his shed last night or early this morning. Last week my car was rifled through and only a pack of smokes was taken since I usually don't leave anything valuable in it. I reported it to the Sheriff Dept. Apparantly there has been a rash of thefts recently and maybe while patroling the deputies found someone.

Thank you for this info, I've been slack in not locking up my toolshed and the cars. Good reminder.

Apparently at least one wayward teen from down the street. Burglarized a house and swam across Tucker Bayou before caught.

It confirmed my suspicions of "wearing a black cap" and his apparent intelligence level, as he never takes his black cap off. But I don't imagine he will have much of a choice now.

Coast not officially clear yet, as they say he may have had an accomplice.

Same kind of story with me.....mid-week last week someone got took 3 packs of gum from my car, but left behind CDs and about a $1 in change. My thought was that (1) the person must have really been Jonesing for a chew, (2) he/she obviously has no taste in music, and (3) either had money, or had no pockets.......

Now I lock up, day or night.

Update of that story is that the WCSO has made an arrest in the matter.

Didnt they just arrest 3 juveniles from around this area a few weeks ago for the same thing? Maybe they should keep them a little bit longer this time.

When I saw the helicopter I went inside the house, locked the doors and immediately logged in to SoWal ... and there it was! Next two thoughts; how much coffee do I have, and man why didn't I buy that wine on sale at Publix the other day.
