FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — A police department in Florida took a page out of another department’s playbook, encouraging citizens to get into the Valentine’s Day spirit.
Sort of.
What is included in this sweet deal?
The Fort Walton Beach Police Department used a humorous post on Facebook on Thursday to encourage people with “an ex-Valentine” with active warrants to contact its office. The department said callers should give the fugitive’s location, if known, for a “special holiday offer.”
“This Friday evening’s special includes free transportation, a three-night stay in our luxurious (five-star) accommodations, Valentine’s happy meal dinner, and a special set of bracelets,” the police department posted.
The bracelets in the post are a set of handcuffs, positioned to look like a pair of hearts.
“All this can be yours for the price of a phone call,” the post read. “Callers can remain anonymous.”
The Fort Walton Police Department gave credit for the idea to the Somerset Police Department in Somerset, Massachusetts.
