The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is reaching out to the public to assist in the location of Jordan Arnold, 20, who is currently wanted on multiple charges. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office took to social media to announce a "WARRANT WEDNESDAY" alert, aiming to garner assistance from the community.
The charges against Arnold include a Rico Violation, coordinated retail theft totaling over $750, and Rico Conspiracy or Endeavor. The Facebook post by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office asked anyone with information to not hesitate to come forward. "If you have any information on his current whereabouts, detectives ask that you reach out by calling 813-247-8200," the sheriff's office stated.
The use of social media by law enforcement agencies has increasingly become a tool to engage the community in the pursuit of suspects and sharing of crucial information. By alerting the locals, the department hopes to leverage the eyes and ears of residents to track down individuals like Arnold swiftly.
While details surrounding Arnold's alleged activities were not disclosed in the social media post, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act relates to federal crimes involving racketeering and often implies organized criminal activity. Anyone who comes across information regarding Arnold's location is encouraged to immediately reach out to the authorities to help ensure community safety and support law enforcement efforts.
