EXCLUSIVE: Every Tuesday night for the past seven years, Florida sheriff Wayne Ivey picks a “fugitive of the week.” There’s just one problem. Over the span of about a year, many of those faces weren’t fugitives at all, according to a new lawsuit

Every Tuesday night for the past seven years, a Florida sheriff’s Facebook page has blasted out a set of ten faces plastered on a giant spinning wheel, all to a soundtrack of rock music. But instead of spinning for a cash prize,“You know how it works, all ten people up here have warrants for their arrests, we want to get them off the streets and safely behind bars where they can’t victimize anybody else,” Ivey told viewers on this past Tuesday’s episode.

According to Gay’s complaint, he was first featured on the Jan. 26, 2021 episode. At the time, court and police records show, he was in the county jail for an alleged violation of probation that was ultimately dismissed. Gay, who was originally sentenced to a withhold of adjudication and three years probation, was arrested in Dec. 2020 for a misdemeanor charge when he allegedly struck his father who was “in a physical altercation with [his] mother,” according to the lawsuit.

Gay, who according to Ivey’s own agency booking records was sitting in the county jail at the time, was featured again on Feb. 2, and again on Feb. 9 and finally, a day after his release, one last time on Feb. 23.
