On Tuesday afternoon the bulldozer tracks that started in Jackson County were followed all the way to Edinburg, Texas. This led to the arrest of Edward Lamar Gross who fled Jackson County in December when his stash of marijuana, and over $100,000 in stolen heavy equipment and vehicles was found at a site near Peanut Road north of Cottondale.


In pursuit of the fleeing felon the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division obtained the help of the US Marshals North Florida Violent Fugitive Task Force. Within a few weeks of this coordination, Gross was apprehended. This manhunt was a great example of combined coordination between county and federal agencies.
Good Work Fellows!!
