JACKSON COUNTY, Fla. (WDNews) – A wanted sex offender who fled from deputies Tuesday morning was quickly tracked down and arrested in Jackson County, Fla., with help from multiple agencies.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, deputies arrived around 11:30 a.m. on June 10 at a residence south of Graceville along Highway 77 in an attempt to locate Randall Brett Morris. Morris, a registered sex offender, had an active felony warrant out of Holmes County.
