A wanted Florida woman has been arrested after a fun game of hide-and-seek with authorities. In Citrus County, Florida, deputies were hot on the heels of 39-year-old Stacy Usher, who had been evading capture since early November. Usher had violated his probation for the sale of fentanyl and the illegal use of a two-way communication device. Usher thought he could outsmart them by hiding inside a couch.
Picture this: Deputies arrive at a house, searching high and low for Usher. They are checking every room, every closet, every corner. But they can’t find her. Finally, one of the deputies notices something strange. He sees a couch that looks a little too thick. He decides to investigate, and lo and behold, there’s Usher, curled up under the pillows, trying to blend in with the pillows.
The deputies could not help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. They pulled Usher out of hiding and she was quickly arrested. The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office even shared a photo of the deputy who triumphantly pulled Usher out from under the couch. It’s a spectacle that will go down in the annals of law enforcement history.
But wait, there’s more to this story. Usher is not just any wanted criminal. He is a convicted felon with a rap sheet that includes fraud, grand theft and obtaining property by writing a bad check. Talk about a criminal resume!
As the saying goes, crime doesn’t pay. And in Usher’s case, it certainly wasn’t worth trying to hide inside a sofa. Let’s hope he finds a more convenient hiding place next time, because the deputies will be watching.
