Polk County, FL – The Polk County Sheriff’s Office has issued a public appeal to help locate Justin Esposito, who is wanted on several warrants, coinciding with his 27th birthday on Tuesday, January 23rd. The Sheriff’s Office humorously notes they wish to throw him a “surprise birthday party” at the Polk County Jail, but first, they need the public’s help to find him.

Justin Esposito is currently on the wanted list for a series of serious charges, including Grand Theft, Weapons Violations, Breaking a Fence, Possession of a Vehicle with Altered VIN, and Resisting. He is also a person of interest in other illegal activities.

Esposito is described as being approximately 6-feet tall, weighing around 185-pounds, with his last known address on Sharon Hill Court, located just off of Thornhill Road, west of Winter Haven.

In a tongue-in-cheek manner, the Sheriff’s Office has outlined plans for Esposito’s “jail-themed birthday party,” which they say will include fingerprinting (likened to finger-painting), a “Glamour Shot-esque” photo opportunity, a special birthday meal, and a room for him to relax in following the celebration.
