A Florida woman and a sheriff’s office engaged in a public exchange on social media regarding an outstanding warrant, turning what is usually a routine law enforcement matter into a viral online spectacle.
The situation began when the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office posted a wanted notice on Facebook seeking information about the whereabouts of 27-year-old Kwanteria “Panky” Alizeyh Richardson. The notice stated that Richardson had an outstanding warrant since December 2024 for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Shortly after, a Facebook user identified as Alizeyh Richardson reshared the post with a caption that read: “Shidddd I ain’t hard to find…do ya job.” This response quickly gained traction online, with many users engaging in the exchange, not to turn her in, but rather to add to the humor of the situation.
In response, the sheriff’s office replied with a lighthearted yet pointed message, inviting Richardson to surrender. The agency’s post playfully acknowledged her taunt, stating:
“Eyyyy Alizeyh Richardson low key, you ate that!
Lucky for you, we are used to those who play ‘hard to get.’
Real talk, be our Valentine. Slide into our DM’s and we will pick you up in a custom green and white whip. We have jewelry that will fit your wrists perfectly and we have already reserved the best bed and breakfast in town.
See you soon.”
The message, complete with emojis, briefly remained online before being deleted. However, screenshots of the post were quickly circulated by news outlets and social media users.
Richardson did not let the sheriff’s office have the last word. She reportedly responded once again, this time doubling down on her original stance. Refuting the agency’s claim that she “low key ate” with her taunt, Richardson insisted that she “high key ate.” She also took the opportunity to further provoke law enforcement, allegedly adding, “y’all mad, now come get me.”
Despite her bold online presence, there was no record of her being in custody at the time of the exchange. A search of Alachua County jail records did not show any female inmate with the last name Richardson.
The exchange between Richardson and the sheriff’s office sparked mixed reactions from the public. Some found the situation amusing, seeing it as a humorous break from typical law enforcement interactions. Others criticized both parties Richardson for flaunting her warrant online and the sheriff’s office for engaging in what some perceived as unprofessional behavior.
Cases of wanted individuals taunting law enforcement online are not uncommon, particularly in the age of social media, where public figures and agencies alike engage with audiences in unconventional ways. Some individuals with outstanding warrants have been known to interact with law enforcement posts before eventually being apprehended.
Though the sheriff’s office later removed their post, the viral nature of the exchange ensured that it remained a topic of conversation. It remains unclear if this online back-and-forth will lead to Richardson’s arrest, but authorities are likely monitoring the situation closely.
