Cops Wanted To Arrest Denqualyn Joyner But He Wasn’t Home, So They Called Him Up | June 13

Bradenton: It’s no surprise that law enforcement officials get creative when trying to collar criminals. But when you’re wanted on an active warrant, meeting with random people probably isn’t a good idea. Florida man Denqualyn Joyner was arrested after police were looking for him and they phoned him to meet up for a drug transaction.

Reports say that the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office’s SWAT team staged to execute a search warrant on Denqualyn Joyner’s home to take him into custody for an active armed robbery warrant, but Joyner wasn’t home.

Officers knew that Joyner may be selling drugs, so an undercover deputy called the man and asked for an 1/8 of weed. Joyner agreed to meet the undercover agent.

Deputies converged on the area to be in place for an arrest, but Joyner called to say his vehicle broke down a few blocks away. Law enforcement transitioned to the new location in unmarked vehicles. Joyner was found standing next to his vehicle and arrested without incident.

He was charged with violation of probation, felony possession of a controlled substance, felony possession of marijuana with intent to sell, as well as for the robbery with a firearm warrant.
