Criminals are not known for making the smartest decisions.
But in the Sunshine State, they take it to the next level.
And a Florida woman made a big mistake trying to taunt a sheriff’s department.
Florida woman mocks the sheriff’s department on social media
The increasing popularity of social media has led law enforcement to use it to try to track down wanted criminals.
Law enforcement does not have the manpower or the time to chase down everyone who is wanted by the law.
The Alachua County, Florida Sheriff’s Office posted a picture on social media of Kwanteria Alizeyah Richardson asking if anyone knew of her current whereabouts.

Richardson goes by the aliases “Panky” and “Alizaeyh Richardson.”
The 27-year-old has an outstanding warrant from December 2024 for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Anyone who had information on the whereabouts of Richardson was asked to contact the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.
The Sheriff’s Office did not expect someone claiming to be Richardson on social media to respond to the post.
“Sh*dddd, I ain’t hard to find. Do ya job!” the account allegedly belonging to Richardson replied to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office post.
Richardson’s post included an awkward emoji and a dancer emoji.
The sheriff’s office decided to have some fun with it for Valentine’s Day.
“Eyyyy Alizaeyh Richardson low key, you ate that!” the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office replied. “Lucky for you, we are used to those who play ‘hard to get.’”
The sheriff’s office offered her a memorable Valentine’s Day.
“Real talk, be our Valentine. Slide into our DM’s and we will pick you up in a custom green and white whip. We have jewelry that will fit your wrists perfectly and we have already reserved the best bed and breakfast in town,” the sheriff’s office stated. “See ya soon.”
The hunt is on for the wanted social media troll
Richardson, or whoever was posing as her, thought they might have had a snappy remark for the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office.
But the exchange was shared thousands of times online, which put her wanted poster in front of more people.
Eventually, the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office untagged the account belonging to Kwanteria Alizeyah Richardson and eventually deleted the Facebook post entirely.
The Sheriff’s Office strangely offered an apology for the post if it offended anyone.
“The Sheriff, nor our administration, endorsed the post and asked that it be removed. We apologize if we in any way offended those who viewed the post, as it was merely our desire to show the more light-hearted side of our agency and our ability to see the humor in this situation,” the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office said in an email to Fox 35 Orlando.
Richardson never replied to any more posts by the sheriff’s office after that.
The Sheriff’s Office has not made any arrests in the case or said if they had any leads on the whereabouts of Richardson.
She could end up being her own worst enemy by attracting so much attention to her wanted poster.
