FORT MEADE, Fla. – An attempt to slip out the back door while law enforcement was busy at the front didn’t go according to plan for a wanted teenager in Fort Meade on Friday morning.
Just after 11:00 a.m. on January 2, deputies with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrived at a residence on 5th Street SW. They were looking for 18-year-old Ahmad Lamar Jordan, who held an active felony warrant for Burglary of a Conveyance.
According to reports, a deputy approached the front door and began speaking with Jordan’s sister. As that conversation took place, Jordan reportedly attempted to quietly exit the home through a rear door.

The escape attempt was short-lived. Jordan was immediately met by two additional deputies positioned at the back of the house, who took him into custody without further incident.
Jordan was transported to the Sheriff’s Processing Center and booked on his outstanding warrant.
