As Hurricane Irma's destructive path nears Florida, a sheriff is warning sex offenders to beware of officers checking IDs at shelters. But now people are worried the rules will also affect others with outstanding warrants.

[...] "If you go to a shelter for #Irma, be advised: sworn LEOs will be at every shelter, checking IDs. Sex offenders/predators will not be allowed."

The sheriff explained the tweet further by writing on top of it, "If you go to a shelter for #Irma and you have a warrant, we'll gladly escort you to the safe and secure shelter called the Polk County Jail."

[...] RT America contacted the sheriff's office, and was told a public information officer would call back with further information.

  I'll tell you, the Saudis are fabulous. They bought a whole floor of Trump World Tower. And when I went there, so friendly! They love me. We did a sexy sword dance. And Wilbur Ross said there wasn't one protester. Not one. Fabulous! 🇺🇸
