Here is the breakdown of what happened:

• The Campaign: The event is part of the annual “Cereal for Summer” initiative. The goal is to collect cereal boxes for children who rely on school meals and might go hungry during the summer break.
• The “Mess”: To grab people’s attention for the cause, the Sheriff’s Office released a video of Judd sitting at a table with a giant bowl. Instead of a normal breakfast, he ended up with milk and cereal poured over him.
• How to Participate: The Sheriff is encouraging residents to drop off new boxes of cereal at any Polk County Sheriff’s Office district station or at either of the county jails. The drive is running from now until May 29th.

It’s definitely a classic Grady Judd move—using a bit of humor and a “viral” stunt to push a community message. You can find the clip on the PCSO social media pages or local news outlets like 10 Tampa Bay.
