Polk Sheriff Grady Judd's picture stolen
Carla Bayron reports.
POLK CITY, Fla. - Nowhere is safe from being burglarized—not even a Polk County Sheriff's substation. However, it's what was taken from inside that's really raising Polk Sheriff Grady Judd's eyebrows.
"You're not going to believe this," said Judd in a video posted on the sheriff's office Facebook page. "Someone broke into the Polk City Sheriff's Station."
What we know:
The incident occurred on September 15 at PCSO's substation on Broadway Boulevard Southeast.
Judd identified the suspect as Mark Byram, 34, of Polk City. The sheriff said Byram can be seen on surveillance video approaching the building and walking right in through the front door.
Pictured: Mark Byram.
Around three minutes later, he's seen walking out with something in his hands.

"He stole my picture," Judd said.
Judd's picture was stolen right off the lobby wall along with the major's and captain's pictures too. When Byram was found in jail on another theft charge, the sheriff explained his reasoning.
"We went down there, and he said, 'My brain was a little foggy that night,'" said Judd. "'I was using a little drugs, but I think I stole those pictures. Wrapped them in a towel and put them by a tree, and sure enough, he did.'"

"No worse for wear," said Judd. "And he's in jail with some more charges."
Byram was charged with multiple counts of burglary and petit theft.
