Fifty-nine of the state’s sheriffs — all but eight of them — are endorsing Senate President Wilton Simpson’s campaign for Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the campaign announced Monday.
The Florida Police Benevolent Association has also endorsed Simpson’s campaign, according to a news release from the Simpson campaign.
Simpson is running to succeed Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, who is leaving the position aiming to become Florida’s next Governor.
The campaign attributed the sheriffs’ united front for Simpson’s campaign to his support for law enforcement.
“As others have tried to defund the police, I fought to ensure Floridians in uniform have the support and resources they need to do their jobs,” Simpson said, according to a news release.
The news release highlighted endorsements of sheriffs from Pasco and Polk counties.
“The women and men in law enforcement start each shift with a mission: to work side by side with members of their community to keep it safe and to make it home to their families,” Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said. “Wilton Simpson has firmly stood with law enforcement in this mission and understands that protecting our communities and our future will allow Florida to continue to prosper.”
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd credited Simpson’s leadership with bringing Florida’s crime rate to a 50-year low.
“Wilton is a PROVEN LEADER who cares about your safety and wellbeing,” Judd’s written comments read. “He has always supported law enforcement and that is exactly why I support Wilton.”
Simpson, a Trilby Republican, is the heavy favorite to win his party’s nomination for the post and face Democratic candidate Ryan Morales, a Clermont cannabis activist. Simpson has millions on hand for his campaign, compared to Morales and Republican candidates Richard Ollie Jr. and James Shaw, who have done negligible fundraising.
The majority of sheriffs not endorsing Simpson come largely from counties that are larger and traditionally more Democratic counties. Sheriffs from Alachua, Broward, Leon, Miami-Dade, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach and St. Lucie were not on the list of endorsers.
“I’m proud of our homeowner for defending himself,”
“I’m proud of our homeowner for defending himself,” Judd added. “It’s called a ‘Castle Doctrine.’ He has the right to protect himself and his home from unknown intruders.”
“He had a gun, he knew how to use it, it was loaded, and he shot him a lot,” Judd said. “He gave him an early Christmas present. Only Santa Claus gets to come in your house — and Santa Claus is invited.”
According to police, the homeowner says an intruder tossed a flower pot through the glass French doors of the home in an attempt to gain entry from the back porch. The homeowner then shot the intruder three times.
Police arrived on the scene and found 42-year-old Steven Stillwell shot on the living room floor. Stillwell was rushed to the hospital and was in critical, but stable condition.
A shotgun belonging to Stillwell was found laying on the ground in the backyard of the home.
According to PCSO, the suspect has an extensive arrest history, with 14 felonies and five misdemeanors, including multiple burglaries and larcenies, DUI, drug possession, dealing in stolen property, fraud, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of a weapon/ammunition by a convicted felon. He also has 11 re-arrest charges, with multiple violations of probation.
DAVENPORT, Fla. (AP) — Authorities said Sunday a third victim has died following a violent attack where an angry electrician wielding a knife and baseball bat killed three co-workers and injured another at the Florida home they shared.
Polk County Sheriff’s officials said electrician Shaun Runyon got into the argument with his supervisor Friday, punching the man and fleeing the job site. He returned to the Davenport home he where he was temporarily living with his co-workers Saturday and beat one man to death while he slept, killed another man on the front porch and chased another victim into the street, beating him badly with a bat, Sheriff Grady Judd said.
A fourth victim suffered critical injuries and later died at the hospital. Another man, his wife and their 7-year-old daughter escaped unharmed. Authorities did not release the identities of the victims.
Runyon and seven co-workers and their families were living at the home rented by a Pennsylvania company, J & B Electric, Inc.
It’s unclear what prompted the fight between 39-year-old Runyon and his supervisor Friday, but Sheriff Judd said he confessed.
He was charged with three counts of first degree murder and one count of aggravated battery. It was not immediately clear if he had retained a lawyer to comment on the charges.
Runyon fled the home, turning up hours later at the home of a random Lake Wales couple, wearing bloody clothes and telling them he’d been raped, according to the sheriff.
Judd said the man discarded his bloody clothes at the home as they urged him to go to the hospital where he was later taken into custody.

How to prevent becoming a victim
Sheriff Judd recommends people learn the proper way to handle a firearm and then obtain a concealed carry permit to protect themselves.
“If you are dedicated to learning how to handle a firearm and you recognize a mistake with a firearm can be a fatal mistake, you should get your carry permit and always carry a firearm to protect yourself, your loved ones and your home,”
Judd said. “But you have to know how to handle it and shoot it. If they are disciplined, it is certainly a safety tool that will keep them alive in a bad situation.”

Sheriff Grady Judd: If Criminals Break In, I’ll ‘Shoot Them So Much You Can Read a Newspaper Through Them’
By Bailey Duran | July 10, 2020
(CNS News) — Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, who encourages law-abiding citizens to buy guns and learn how to shoot them properly, recently said that if criminals break into his house, he will “shoot them so much that you can read a newspaper through them.”
Sheriff Judd made his remarks on Radio America’s The Dana Show, hosted by Dana Loesch, a conservative and strong defender of the Second Amendment.
During the program, Sheriff Judd explained that citizens have a constitutional right to defend themselves and their homes or businesses. This is particularly relevant given the recent rioting and looting that has occurred in many cities following the death of George Floyd.
“The truth is, they [citizens] have a right to protect themselves in their home and they should,” said Sheriff Judd. “Then you have some in the media going, ‘oh, well he’s inflaming.’”
“I tell you what, I am not inflaming,” he said, “but I am making it abundantly clear that I am encouraging our folks to prepare themselves to be safe at home, and if anyone—any robber, any looter—thinks that they can break into your home and you’re going to stand there and watch it? You’re going to let them break in and beat you up and take your stuff? Well, that’s just craziness!” J
Judd continued, “I can assure you: Someone breaks into my home, I’m going to shoot them, and I’m going to shoot them a lot.”
“I’m going to shoot them so much that you can read a newspaper through them,” he said.
“And that’s my recommendation to the other people in our community,” he added. “I’m talking about real looters, real criminals, and real robbers.”
He later stressed, “you should never use deadly force against someone else unless you believe that it’s imminent, that you’re in great danger of being significantly hurt and/or getting killed.”
In 2017, a year after the deadly Pulse nightclub shooting in Florida, Sheriff Judd urged the citizens of Polk County to get a gun and learn how to use it. “The armed assailant doesn’t plan on you fighting back,” he said. “He plans on having a gun, doing all the shooting, and you’re just a sitting duck.”
“Well, the ducks need to shoot back,” he finished.
