Watch out, Tim Cook — it looks like you have another law enforcement official who’s out to bring you in! It seems one Florida sheriff wants to end the debate between Apple and the FBI b…
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd is ready to go to war with Apple and its CEO Tim Cook. The always candid sheriff issued warnings to the tech giant if they don’t cooperate with the murder investigation of 31-year-old Robert Banks. The Lakeland man was allegedly beaten to death before his body was dumped and burned in the woods in Sumter County back in January. Three brothers — Brian Johnson, Jr., 25, Anthony Johnson, 19, and Nathan Johnson, 17, — and their friend, Michael Gunn, 25, are now facing first-degree murder charges in the Polk County Jail. The men allegedly took pictures of Banks’ lifeless body, but those photos are believed to be stored away and locked on one of the suspect’s phones. “Let me tell you, the first time we do have trouble getting into a cell phone, we’re going to seek a court order from Apple and when they deny us I’m going to go lock the CEO of Apple up,” Judd said in a press conference Wednesday.
