A wanted Florida man was taken into custody on Saturday after his phone tipped off deputies that he was hiding from them in the ceiling of a business, authorities said.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said 38-year-old Joshua Garrett was arrested and charged with resisting arrest and felony criminal mischief.

According to the sheriff’s office, deputies responded to a disturbance near US 98 North and Duff Road in Lakeland, Florida. When the deputies arrived, they were told the man causing the disturbance, later identified as Garrett, had left the business.

After identifying the man as Garrett, deputies learned he was wanted for violating his probation, which he was given after being convicted of burglary, providing false information to a pawn broker and trafficking of stolen property.

Deputies began searching for Garrett in the area and stopped by a business where he was employed.

When they arrived, deputies confirmed Garrett walked into the business but never left. 

The deputies did an initial search of the property but could not find him.

Still, they believed Garrett could be in the building and saw a few ceiling tiles were out of place. The deputies then heard Garrett’s phone ringing and started searching above the tiles.

As they searched, investigators spotted a hand sticking out from under the insulation.

"Thankfully, the hand was attached to a body – Garrett’s – and not just some random disembodied hand," the sheriff’s office said in a post on Facebook. "That would have taken this situation into a whole other direction."

Garrett was ultimately removed from the ceiling and transported to the Polk County jail for his warrant. He was also charged with resisting and felony criminal mischief after causing about $1,000 worth of damage to his employer’s ceiling.

Connecticut Sun guard DiJonai Carrington sent a stern message to new WNBA fans who have tuned into the league because of the electric rookie class led by the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark.

Clark’s play and the treatment she’s received on the court has been a major story line since she stepped onto the floor. Carrington guarded Clark in the Sun and Fever’s last game, and Carrington appeared to mock Clark for allegedly trying to embellish a foul.

On Monday, as the league took center stage because of Angel Reese’s flagrant foul on Clark during the Chicago Sky’s loss to the Fever, Carrington addressed the new fans who have tuned into the "W."

"Unfortunately for yall new fAnS, we do not just ‘shut up and dribble’ here. Ya picked the wrong league," Carrington wrote.

Her post garnered a ton of responses on X, including from OutKick founder Clay Travis.

"Don’t watch us play basketball, said the player in the league no one has watched play basketball for nearly 30 years," Travis wrote on X. "Some people would rather have a large part of a tiny pie than a bigger part, but a smaller share, of a gargantuan pie. That seems to be how most WNBA players feel.

"Sadly, this mindset is pretty common in life. It’s an anti-capitalist, anti-growth, anti-entrepreneurial mindset, but it’s very real. If you haven’t already, at some point you will experience it in your own life. The WNBA seems overrun with it culturally."

Carrington is in her fourth season in the league. She’s averaging 12.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2 assists and nearly 1 steal per game this year. It’s her first season as a full-time starter.

The Sun are 12-1 this season and sit on top of the WNBA standings.
