Two men and a woman on Wednesday have been arrested in connection with the brutal beatings and death of three Florida friends during a nighttime catfishing trip. "We have locked up the three people responsible for the murders of these guys," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. Tony "TJ" Williams, 26, a hardened criminal with 230 felony criminal charges against him in his arrest history, was the alleged ringleader behind the "massacre." His girlfriend, Mary Whitmore, 27, and his brother Robert Williams, 21, have also been arrested. Judd called the elder Williams "pure evil in the flesh" and said

With their arrest, you can almost feel the crime rate dropping in the greater Frostproof metropolis.

Some other reports say the trio followed the fishermen after overhearing them discuss their fishing plans. Perhaps the perps wanted to steal their trucks? Anyways, they deserve the electric chair.

The older brother looks almost normal, albeit in a jailbird sort of way, compared to the little brother. Younger brother Robert Williams looks like the incarnation of pure evil. How long is that boy's rap sheet? No mention in the article. And the girlfriend looks more manly than either of the brothers.

“Wiggins had been arrested in March for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and was released on bond. However, because he allegedly killed Tillman, Springfield and Rollins while he was out on bond, he violated his pretrial release condtions and is therefore not allowed to bond out on the new charges.”
Whoa, that’s supposed to be reassuring? The killer described as “pure evil” can’t be released on bond because he violated his current bond conditions that released this animal into society. Why was this career criminal out on bond in the first place? The Sunshine State needs to have sun shone on their catch and keep releasing system.

Ten double cheeseburgers? Besides being evil murdering scum, they also have lousy taste. It's good news that the death penalty is becoming popular again because some people just need to die.

Only 26 years old and has 230 felony charges (not convictions), but boy this guy must have the best high-priced lawyer in town, or the absolute best public defender.

"... 230 felony criminal charges against him in his arrest history ..."
Is this a misprint? 230? And was still on the streets?

FYI, I did the math. Let's assume our perp didn't get charged with his first felony until the day he turned 18. And let's say that he's had 8 years to commit those 230 felonies.
That works out to a felony every 12-13 days. Cripes, he must have a criminal defense lawyer on retainer.

230 felony convictions is not enough to keep scum in jail for life. We are a nation ruled by violent psychopaths in the streets.

I know 230 is extremely large but multiple charges can be used in 1 incident. I’ve seen 15 to 20 charges many times for 1 offense.

Listen to Sheriff Judd interview today. Nasty piece of work with 230 convictions. He started as a child.In prison twice.
You would be a fool to commit a crime in Polk County. Sexual predators take note.
