WANTED: MATTHEW BRUCE COLEMAN
Apr 3, 2024
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO
44-year old Matthew Bruce Coleman has been to Florida State Prison five times.
What he does while he's in prison is not our problem. But when he's not in prison, he's usually up to no good. And that is a problem.
PCSO detectives are currently looking for him---he violated his probation.
Matthew's last known address is on Sharon Avenue in Lakeland.
He is about 6'00" and 150 lbs.
He has two small tattoos under his right eye, a blowfish tattoo on his left neck, the name Tina on his right neck, and "5150" tattooed on his head.
If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Matthew Bruce Coleman, please contact Detective Hearth at 863-298-6200 or SHearth@polksheriff.org
