POLK COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE2 days agoAgencyOn April 12th, at around 10:15 AM, PCSO deputies arrived at the Lakeland Village Mobile Home Park on US 92 East (between Lakeland and Auburndale), looking for a wanted man. The man they were looking for was 52-year old Shane Newbold. Shane had an active warrant for Burglary with Battery, Robbery, and Tampering with a Witness. The deputies made contact at the residence with Shane's sister, 61-year old Michelle Hubbard, and they told her why they were looking for him. Michelle told the deputies that Shane was not in the residence. Deputies yelled for Shane to come out--but Shane did not respond. The K9 deputy yelled out to Shane, letting him know that if he didn't come out, the K9 was coming in. With that, Shane popped up from between two beds where he had been hiding under a pile of clothes. Deputies arrested Shane Newbold for his warrant. Michelle was asked why she lied about Shane not being in the house, and she replied that she did so because he is her brother. That is sweet, yet not allowed. Michelle was also arrested. Shane and Michelle were both charged with Resisting (obstruction). #PCSO #ArrestedByThePolkCountySheriffsOffice #ItIsNiceToSeeSiblingsGetAlongSoWellBe the first to reactLike
