A Florida man accused of going on a ‘one-man crime wave’ in Polk County last month celebrated his 24th birthday behind bars.
According to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, 24-year-old Justin Brandon, whose birthday is on New Year’s Day, began his lawbreaking binge when he was seen loitering outside a business and eventually stole a utility vehicle, or a side-by-side vehicle, and crashed it.
Judd said his shady streak didn’t stop with the wrecked UTV.
After the crash, Brandon is accused of stealing a Jeep and wrecking it, causing about $4,000 in damage.
Sheriff Judd said when Brandon was arrested, he had methamphetamine on him.

“Of course, you have got to have meth to do a lot of damage and a lot of crime in short order,” Judd quipped.
In his mugshot, Brandon had the word ‘Alone’ prominently tattooed underneath his right eye.
“Keep an eye on this guy,” Judd stressed. “He even has tattoos on his face, ‘Alone’. Well, he’s not alone anymore. He’s in the county jail, with a lot of company.”
Brandon, who also goes by the names ‘Jay Breezy’, ‘Breez’ and ‘J Breeze’ has been charged with grand theft, loitering, grand theft of a motor vehicle, petit larceny, no valid driver’s license, possession of drug paraphernalia, drugs-possible controlled substance without a prescription and leaving an unattended vehicle after an accident.
