Crazy weekend, right? Here’s another story that you may or may not have heard about from this weekend, but our suspect remains at large, and we would really like to put him into timeout at the Polk Pokey.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is looking for 37-year-old Raymond Hein. He’s our #WarrantOfTheDay.
Raymond kicked off the crazy weekend by doing something really, ah, crazy. Here’s what happened:
On Friday, a teacher from Lakeland was driving on Hwy 98 when suddenly, a red Nissan Altima cut her off and began driving erratically. The Nissan came to a stop right next to the teacher’s vehicle when traffic stopped at the light at Winter Lake Road.
The teacher said that she saw two people in the Nissan, a man and a woman. The man yelled at the teacher, “You failed my child (Samuel L. Jackson expletive)!” Then the man held up a handgun and yelled, “I’ll blow your (Samuel L. Jackson expletive) head off, Karen.”
The teacher, whose name is not Karen, drove to a gas station and called the cops. That’s where we come in…we’re the cops.
The victim gave deputies a partial tag number from the Nissan, and provided a great description of the man. Awesome work on her part (it isn’t always easy to get details when someone is threatening you with a gun).
Detectives worked their magic and came up with a tag that matched a red Nissan Altima. The owner of that Nissan matched the description given by the victim. And that exact Nissan was recorded driving on Hwy 98 near the crime scene. Plus, the victim picked the suspect out of a photo lineup. We had an ID on our suspect, Raymond Hein. Now we just need the suspect.
So if you know where Raymond is, please let us know. You can call Detective Bolin at 863-499-2400. Or if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers - call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477), visit the website www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.
You will always remain anonymous when you send a tip through Crime Stoppers and you are eligible for a cash reward if your information leads to an arrest.
One more crazy thing about this case…the victim does not know Raymond or his family. She has never taught his kids, nor has she taught at the same school that they go to. It appears that he only targeted the victim because she had a Support Education specialty license plate, or maybe it was mistaken identity.
