‘Put it in the exit ramp’ Man had thermos hidden inside of him during arrest in Polk County

  • Deputies in Winter Haven, Florida arrested 51-year-old Walter Frymire after finding him with a thermos concealed inside his body during jail intake.
  • The incident began when police received a call about a naked man in a public park restroom and Frymire was later found fully clothed at the scene.
  • After deputies escorted Frymire out of the park, he crossed to nearby railroad tracks, trespassed again, and was arrested before being taken to the hospital.
  • Jail records list charges including possession of methamphetamine and threats against a public servant, and Frymire has 25 prior arrests and five prison stints.
  • Sheriff Grady Judd described the case as something he had 'never seen before,' and said deputies likely saved Frymire's life by intervening.
