I had to laugh at the comment left the other day, “Remember the interview Judd Grady didn’t give? Me neither.”
———————-
The top cop of Polk County, Sheriff Grady Judd, says he will not star in a television show.
Sheriff Judd has made national headlines for how far he and his department will go to fight crime. They’ve hunted down suspects in Maryland, Colorado, even Australia.
Judd has always been a straight shooter when it comes to explaining his no-nonsense approach to locking up the bad guys and protecting citizens, especially children.

Sheriff Judd considering reality TV show
Hey, I’d watch it. I like him. UNLESS it’s done by those same cornpones who put together Southern Fried Stings. Then all bets are off.

It’s daybreak in Polk County.
Sheriff Grady Judd has been up for hours and is already out meeting some longtime residents. Judd is the keynote speaker at a prayer breakfast in Auburndale.
He has arrived earlier than necessary because he was told the breakfast would start at 7a.m. when in fact it begins at 7:30.
An early start doesn’t bother him much because there are people who have arrived already just to get the chance to see him.
They’re lining up, hoping to shake his hand or to thank him for his service.
He stands at the door of the civic center and, one by one, greets folks as if they are old friends.
They are pleased as punch to see the sheriff in person.
Sheriff Judd is like a movie star in these parts.
One man tells us, “He’s a modern day John Wayne and Clint Eastwood and a couple of those guys all rolled into one.”
A woman exclaims, “Oh, he’s a legend.”

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd featured in Playboy magazine
Wow….people must be desperate for something to talk about in Polk County if this is a big deal.

Twistee Treat ice cream shop at 4945 U.S. 98 in Lakeland is a busy place on a Friday night. Customers will tell you it’s the place to be for a cool cone and just about any other ice cream treat. 
Friday evening, the heated topic of discussion was
about the the sheriff of Polk County, Grady Judd, being featured in the pages of Playboy Magazine.
Barbara Janzen and her husband, Tom, are Lakeland residents who say they haven’t seen the magazine.
Anna laughed and said, “I never thought we should go out and buy one.” Anna and Vincent Tedesco are also of Lakeland.
Anna said, “I’m a little shocked to think that it’s there. I would hope he didn’t approve it being there.”
Sheriff Judd says he didn’t grant an interview to Playboy Magazine and even if they called him up and requested one, he’d turn them down. Because Sheriff Judd is a public official, journalists can report on him and the sheriff’s department without contacting the department first.
Judd said, “I would never interview with Playboy. That goes against my principles and code of ethics, but it’s what it is.”
