Being a cop nowadays in the not-so-great America is tough. It can make any cop shop all dread and gloom. But some time ago, somewhere along Life's road, a young guy (or woman) took the wrong turn to a top marketing job, and ended up at Police Academy.
You thinking of the funny Police Academy movie franchise too? Right. But spoiler alert, they always get their man. And if they had a FB page it would look like that of Polk County Sheriff's office.
So this cop sits there, with his marketing skills temporarily stashed under a donut box, when a call came in.
A female teacher was almost shot by a lunatic! After a hectic drive to the relative safety of a filling station she called 911, and some miles away a donut got chucked half-eaten back in the box.
Now I'm going to jump the fence a bit here, instead of telling you what happened I'm just going to copy and paste the whole story as it appears on Polk County Sheriff's page. One expects the typical dry 'we are looking for so-and-so' announcement language police services generally use, which everyone on social media ignores.
But just there that undercover marketing genius at the cop shop wiped his donut box off his desk, and wrote the damn best ever request for assistance from the public. It deserves to go viral.
Specifically, look closely at the meme-like photo the cops created to illustrate their post, that I'm using as main photo above, it becomes really amusing when you see why he is wanted. And you should not miss the tags they're using in their post either, it's epic. Below I'm quoting their whole post, and will add my last bit of comment after that:
Polk County Shriff's Office
Crazy weekend, right? Here’s another story that you may or may not have heard about from this weekend, but our suspect remains at large, and we would really like to put him into timeout at the Polk Pokey.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is looking for 37-year-old Raymond Hein. He’s our #WarrantOfTheDay .
Raymond kicked off the crazy weekend by doing something really, ah, crazy. Here’s what happened:
On Friday, a teacher from Lakeland was driving on Hwy 98 when suddenly, a red Nissan Altima cut her off and began driving erratically. The Nissan came to a stop right next to the teacher’s vehicle when traffic stopped at the light at Winter Lake Road.
The teacher said that she saw two people in the Nissan, a man and a woman. The man yelled at the teacher, “You failed my child (Samuel L. Jackson expletive)!” Then the man held up a handgun and yelled, “I’ll blow your (Samuel L. Jackson expletive) head off, Karen.”
The teacher, whose name is not Karen, drove to a gas station and called the cops. That’s where we come in…we’re the cops.
The victim gave deputies a partial tag number from the Nissan, and provided a great description of the man. Awesome work on her part (it isn’t always easy to get details when someone is threatening you with a gun).
Detectives worked their magic and came up with a tag that matched a red Nissan Altima. The owner of that Nissan matched the description given by the victim. And that exact Nissan was recorded driving on Hwy 98 near the crime scene. Plus, the victim picked the suspect out of a photo lineup. We had an ID on our suspect, Raymond Hein. Now we just need the suspect.
So if you know where Raymond is, please let us know. You can call Detective Bolin at 863-499-2400. Or if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers - call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477), visit the website
www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.
You will always remain anonymous when you send a tip through Crime Stoppers and you are eligible for a cash reward if your information leads to an arrest.
One more crazy thing about this case…the victim does not know Raymond or his family. She has never taught his kids, nor has she taught at the same school that they go to. It appears that he only targeted the victim because she had a Support Education specialty license plate, or maybe it was mistaken identity.

Yes, the crook started a GoFundMe to pay for a lawyer... While he's still on the run! 😂 And the cops found out about it! 🤣 So now they're kind of having a psychological warfare thingy going on on social media to haunt his heroic dreams about himself and smoke him out.
It is one thing for a crook to know the police are looking for him, but it certainly hits a home run when he gets lonely there in the woods or wherever his type hides out, and to then see his face and name and description of his crimes plastered everywhere on Facebook when he logs in. What will his hillbilly friends think when they see it, is probably his first reaction.
As we all know it is common for crooks to try and keep tabs on how close the cops are. Many a criminal have been apprehended by police after driving past the scene of his crime later. But to see the police discovered social media makes every criminal sad. What a way to haunt their conscience. It is like he opened his hideout's front door to peek out, just to be greeted by a 'wanted' poster of himself stuck to a tree.
The only mystery to me is why the police haven't traced the location of his phone or laptop he used to start the crowdsourcing campaign. Judging by their evidence mentioned in their post it is an open and shut case, the skunk is guilty as hell.
I do think the detailed public alert is a brilliant move from the sheriff's office, it shows scum that the police are utilizing social media as well. And CHECK THE TAGS the police are using at the end of their post, it's histerical. 🤣
Go find the post on Facebook, and type a funny comment there to add to the crook's worries and make his Republican behavior goes viral. Maybe a description of what happens in jail, and how it's worse than FB jail, and so on. You'll also find a comment from the cops in their thread there that goes like this:
Raymond Christopher Hein , Sheriff Judd wants to know how much sleep you're getting. Life on the run is never fun. We see there's a GoFundMe for an attorney. Here's a pro-tip: Turn yourself in, and if you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Huzzah!
Cheeky cops, huh. 😂 They even have some roadside assistance available for him if his Nissan ran out of gas:
(I added this photo's text, feel free to download and use it.)
When you browse their page you'll soon see that Polk County's police do things differently. Sometimes even upside down. It should be clear to everyone and anyone that the cops there will go to great depths to take anyone out of hiding, as you can see in a photo they posted on their page, complete with the text on there too:
Raymond Hein, you're toast. You're gonna be in Polk Pokey before Trump stops sneezing. 😂
