‘Booty Patrol’ caught by deputies after causing a stir on Florida streets

The elusive “Booty Patrol” is on the run no more. 

After warning the public about a driver impersonating law enforcement under the “Booty Patrol” moniker, the driver and vehicle have both been located by the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office. 

A traffic stop was conducted Sunday, and the driver was given a citation regarding Florida State Statute 316.2397, which pertains to certain lights prohibited. 

Deputies first posted about the white Chevrolet Silverado on Monday – the day after the driver was located – clarifying that their post was intended to raise awareness about the driver impersonating law enforcement.
