Florida deputies in protective gear serve warrant after seeing fake 'infected with COVID-19' sign

Putnam County sheriff's deputies donned protective gear to make a felony warrant arrest in Bardin Thursday afternoon after they came across an "infected with COVID-19" sign on a suspect's front door, according to a Facebook post.

The PCSO took to Facebook writing, “Public notice: Placing a fake ‘Covid-19’ sign on your door will not stop us from kicking it in when you have felony warrants for your arrest.”

According to the PCSO, deputies and detectives took the extra precautions when arresting 28-year-old Joshua Price on Will Tillis Road in Bardin Thursday on felony flee and elude law enforcement, and violation of probation warrants.

The PCSO investigation revealed that he created the fake sign to avoid arrest.

According to the PCSO, Price has been booked onto the county jail with no indication that he has been exposed to the COVID-19.
