According to the Sheriff’s Office, Northcutt initially provided a false name to the deputy. Detectives were later able to confirm his true identity and discovered that he was a wanted fugitive. Northcutt had active felony warrants out of Arkansas for electronic facilitation of child sexual abuse and furnishing a harmful item to a minor.
In addition to the out-of-state warrants, Northcutt was charged with resisting arrest in Florida. He was transported to Monroe County Jail without further incident.
