Sweetwater Police, this is Chris. This line's being recorded. >> Hi, Chris. This is B at Central, also on a recorded line. Um, I have a caller on the line um advising that she knows the location of a male that has a no bond warrant in Hillsboro, but the um location that he's at is in Clearwater. >> Okay. So, he's wanted Hillsboro, but he lives in Clearwater. >> He's at an Airbnb in Clear Water. She said that he went live about 30 minutes ago from that location. >> All right. Do you still have her on the line? >> Yeah, I do. Did you want the address first? >> Sure. >> All right. Here she comes. >> Thank you. >> All right. >> Ma'am, so you're saying someone's wanted at that address? >> Yes, sir. Um, so there's and his name is Joseph Anthony Redden II. He's um he's been on the run from a no bond warrant out of Hillsboro County for a probation revocation. Okay. >> Since the 15th of June. Um there's also a police report that's been filed with the Largo Police Department regarding a company that he is the face of which appears to be some kind of a security fraud or a Ponzi scheme. We're not really sure yet. Um to the tune of $3.3 million. And we have uh there's a group of creators who have been trying to expose MCU and we have stepped up our efforts because he has placed his house for sale and has said that he is going to Europe and um when the police were when we determined that he was at his home in Largo, we uh one of us called the police to let them know to go pick him up and uh he refused to answer the door and then when the police left, he took off and he's been buried in Airbnbs. for the last it's 11 days now since the 15th. Um I was able to conf confirm today after uh watching him on a live stream about two hours ago. Um I was able to confirm his location and compare it against the Airbnb listing for that address and confirm that that is his current location. >> Okay. Uh can you spell that his last? Yes, it's Robert Edward David David Edward Nancy II. >> So, Joseph Anthony Redden, his date of birth is going to be and it's a revocation for DUI. >> You don't know the exact date for his birthday? >> Uh, I believe it's >> And what's your name, miss? >> My name is >> And what's a good call? >> My name is Baldwin. uh6 and that Airbnb appears to be attached to the home owner's um building. So if he doesn't answer, which he probably will not because he he's been staying hidden down, you can probably ask them to let you in or confirm with them that he is there. >> Gotcha. Okay. >> And he may very well be um just a heads up because he he is a and I'm not saying this is a hit to him because I realize it's disease and a problem. He is a prolific alcoholic. Um, so he may very well be at one of the bars that's just right near there that's still open. >> Okay. Gotcha. >> And you'll know his dog um he's got his dog Lolli with him and she will probably bark when you knock. >> Okay. I will uh send this to an officer to take a look at. Okay. >> Can I ask Can I ask a super petty favor? It's really petty. It's really petty. >> If the officers catch him, could one of them let them let him know that Bunny said hi, >> buddy? >> Because he's trashed me online. Bunny, he's trashed me online for the last month. I mean, trashed me. I've had people threaten my life, my daughter's life. I just want him to know that I was the one who found him. >> Okay, I will put that in there. I'm not sure if an officer going to do that, but I will add it to the to the notes. If y'all can be petty on my behalf, I would love it. Um, you know, just out here doing my civic duty, helping y'all find the wanted criminal, but I would really love it for him to know. Otherwise, I'm going to post a video so that when he gets out of jail, I can be just so you know, Joe, it was me. >> Okay. >> Everything you put me through, I was the one who found you. >> All right, M. I will send this out. If for any reason an officer has more questions for you, they're going to give you a call back. Okay? It's going to come from an unknown. And I will wait with baited breath because I promise you my hope is that you guys catch him tonight and I can grab that mug shot before I go to bed and sleep peacefully. >> All right, you have a good night. >> All right.

And you told me that you didn't know why you did that. >> No. No. I just I saw the light. I I literally walked away. >> But you saw the taser light obviously. Did you hear the taser noise? Because it's a little noise that turns on. >> No, I I I mean I felt it hit me. I don't I don't know the noise. >> Okay. No. So, it's a noise when you when the taser gets turned on. It's like an audible noise to kind of let you know like Oh, something electronic turned on. Did you hear that noise at all? >> No. >> Okay. But but is there a reason why you turned around and started walking away when you were >> No. No. It's on me. I just panicked. >> Okay.
