The deputies did not find anyone at that home and spoke to residents in the area, who told the deputies that Murray had not lived there for approximately four years. Deputies called his parents, who advised they have not had any recent contact with him and do not know where he lives. They told deputies he has no family in Polk County.\u201d according to Horstman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Murray has a background that includes past run-ins with law enforcement. He pleaded nolo contendre and was adjudicated guilty of video voyeurism on 10\/14\/2005. He was also originally charged for Lewd and Lascivious which was dropped by prosecutors after he plead guilty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a developing story and we have reached out to the Leon County Sheriff\u2019s Office for a copy of the arrest warrant. We have also reached out to Theodore Murray by phone and text messages with no response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theodore \u201cPink Tie\u201d Murray, a Frostproof resident with past encounters with law enforcement, is running as an independent candidate for Polk County Sheriff against longtime incumbent Grady Judd.
