Florida sheriff shows off $50K chain snatched from alleged drug dealer implicated in OD death: ‘She died so he could have this drip’
A Florida sheriff donned an alleged drug kingpin’s gold chain and bracelet while blasting the deadly trade that paid for his bling.
Polk County lawman Grady Judd, at a press conference Friday flashed the thick gold necklace around his neck as he alleged that Nathaniel “Nate” Donald and other members operated a drug ring that resulted in the overdose death of one elderly woman.
“She was walking out of her house to church when she collapsed, so she died, so Nate could have this drip,” Judd said. “Did you hear what I said? He’s buying this drip from selling drugs to people on the streets, one of which died.”
And one of the organization’s dealers, Troy Cortez Walker, has even been charged with murder for the death last September.
Judd said a major investigation by his deputies landed 32 alleged criminals behind bars, while he flashed their confiscated pistols and jewels.
He said the $50,000 chain — which he repeatedly called “drip” — and represented far more than just a fly accessory.
“Where you see $50,000 in drip, where you see that ‘not-so-dangerous’ drug of cannabis, you see guns and you see first-degree murder from overdose. I am over it,” he said.
“I am over it when people tell you that drugs are low-level and non-violent,” Judd added, flashing a pair of seized pistols to demonstrate his point.
Donald was busted along with 31 of his alleged henchmen after a year-long investigation into local drug trafficking, which Judd said was responsible for moving “millions” of dollars in narcotics through central Florida.
The investigation also picked up about $150,000 in hard drugs and several guns that were in the hands of convicted felons, while the prior convictions of the arrested totaled 554 felonies and 394 misdemeanors.
