So you order up a prostitute, right? This prostitute lives with his mother, by the way. He&#8217;s got a massive criminal history, a 21-year criminal history with 31 criminal charges. So you order up a prostitute, and that&#8217;s what you think you&#8217;re getting. Now, when you look at that, you go, man, that&#8217;s pretty rough, but, you know, any port in a storm. And then the next morning when you wake up, you find out this is who it really is. Yeah, we call that Coyote Ugly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>\u201cYou see, he&#8217;s laying on your arm in bed. You go, it was rough last night, but I&#8217;ve sobered up. I think I&#8217;ll just chew my arm off and ease away so I don&#8217;t disturb him or wake him up. All right, so you think you&#8217;re buying this, you&#8217;re getting this. He&#8217;s got 31 criminal charges, and heck, if you&#8217;re lucky, he doesn&#8217;t kill you overnight\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The clip emerged from Judd\u2019s press briefing held on 19 September, which was about \u201cOperation Fool Around and Find Out Again,\u201d a weeklong undercover investigation targeting human trafficking and prostitution in Polk County, Florida.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly 250 suspects were arrested, including some from&nbsp;Disney, Universal Orlando, and military backgrounds, reported Fox 13 News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netizens react<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Social media users were quick to respond to the clip, with one saying, \u201cI don\u2019t skip a day watching some Sheriff Grady Judd,\u201d while another quipped, \u201cDid you see the officer in the back is trying so hard not to laugh out loud.\u201d<br><br>One viewer admitted, \u201cThis is so funny that I bookmarked it yesterday,\u201d and another added, \u201cMy fav is the guy in the back trying to keep a straight face.\u201d<br><br>Some praised Judd outright, declaring, \u201cDude is based! We need more of them in all counties in the US.\u201d<br><br>Sheriff Judd has long been known for his colorful press briefings, often mixing serious law enforcement updates with sharp wit.
