00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Crime Alert hourly update, breaking crime news. Now.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm Nicole parton a bizarre story. A forty two year

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: old man in Florida was shot and killed after navigating

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: a lake populated with alligators and even sustaining an alligator bite,

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: then allegedly confronting police officers who responded to the situation.

00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 2: Timothy Schultz succumbed to his injuries on May twenty six,

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: following a shooting incident involving the Polk County Sheriff's Office,

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: As detailed by Sheriff Grady Judd during a Facebook live briefing,

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: The Sheriff's office received a call about Schultz around five

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: point fifty six am that morning, with the nine to

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: one one caller describing him as bizarre and shaking at

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: a nearby racetrack. Officers arrived at the racetrack roughly three

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: minutes later, but could not locate Schultz. After an unsuccessful

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: search lasting about half an hour, the effort was called off.

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: A subsequent call came into nine one one around seven

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: forty three am, with a witness reportedly seeing Schultz in

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: a lake steaming with alligators and expressing concerns that the

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: man seemed quote drunk or high. According to reports, Schultz

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: declined a life preserver offered by a bystander and allegedly

20
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: growled at another man who tried to help him. Sheriff

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: Judd indicated that deputies arrived shortly after Shultz managed to

22
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: exit the lake, although he appeared to have an alligator

23
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: bite to his arm. As officers approached, they saw Schultz

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: with garden shears, and he was reportedly attempting to break

25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: into a car by throwing a brick into the window.

26
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: After that, he attacked authorities for more. Here's my favorite sheriff,

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: Sheriff Grady Judd.

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: The fact that he was bitten by an alligator significantly

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: and still continued his rampage is shocking. But if you're

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: on enough math, then the person you see is not

31
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: the person that's attacking.

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: When the deputies attend to detain him using non lethal methods,

33
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: Schultz allegedly charged at them while brandishing the shears. He

34
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: was tased, but continued to advance toward the officers. The

35
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: situation escalated when Schultz tried to reach into the police car,

36
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: presumably trying to access a firearm, prompting the officers to

37
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: fire their weapons. Sheriff Judd confirmed that Schultz was shot

38
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 2: multiple times and did not survive. He explained quote, he

39
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: attempted to assault my deputies with garden shears and then

40
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: tried to enter their car, which constituted armed burglary. At

41
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: that point, all warning ceased and immediate action was necessary.

42
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: A witness reportedly believed that the officers should have escalated

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: their response sooner. The incident is currently under investigation, and

44
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 2: the officers involved have been placed on a standard administrative

45
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: leave pending the outcome of the investigation. They will also

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: participate in a mandatory evaluation and debriefing with the department's

47
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: psychological team. The officers was still in training, and the

48
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: sheriff commended both officers for their action during the incident.

49
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: Sheriff Judd noted that Schultz had a significant criminal history,

50
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 2: including multiple previous encounters with law enforcement. His most recent

51
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 2: arrest in April of twenty twenty five. He had been

52
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: released on May twenty with past charges related to methan

53
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: fitamine possession. In discussing the incident, Judge emphasized that his

54
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: officers acted appropriately and expressed no regret about their decisions

55
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: to use lethal force. We had to stop him. We

56
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: had to ensure the safety of both our officers and

57
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: those in the community, he said. The sheriff concluded by

58
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: confirming Schultz's death, stating quote he was deader than four o'clock.

59
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: In a press release, the Sheriff's office outlined that four

60
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: separate investigations are currently under way. An independent inquiry by

61
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: the tenth Judicial Circuits Officer Involved Deadly Incident Task Force,

62
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: an internal investigation by the Poe County Sheriff's Office, and

63
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: an autopsy conducted by the Polk County Medical Examiner to

64
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: determine the calls and manner of death or crime. Injustice

Speaker 2: and jokingly suggesting he would keep the family photos as

82
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: part of the decorps. This ongoing saga with Mitchell Green
