A Florida sheriff ripped into beachgoers who are ignoring his warnings of deadly water conditions after the Florida Panhandle experienced nearly a dozen deadly drownings.
Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford said he was infuriated with the unnecessary deaths after he had to watch his deputies rescue strangers who disregarded the warnings.
“These same heroes, who have risked it all to save others, have been cursed and given the finger, while trying to warn visitors of the life-threatening dangers,” Ford said. “We have used the tools provided by the county commission to fine violators $500 for entering the water on double red flags.”
