“The men we arrest during operations like this usually have two things in common -- most of them are married, and they are always angry that we arrested them. Now they all have a third thing in common -- they have all visited the Polk County Jail. If you commit lewd acts in public, you can expect to get arrested. The law-abiding citizens of the county are the ones who have the right to be angry about this type of behavior.” – Sheriff Grady Judd
